Loved his interview in the "hated and misunderstood" big brother. That dude seriously is crazy. Last night I was watching FTC 3 and I am pretty sure he tried to back noseblunt hubba before Koston. Unfortunately some homeless mongolian chased them out with a pen knife.

He at least shouldn't have to work a real job. But I read an interview with him where he said he prefers just skating in his off time instead of being a big time pro.

If someone will post this interview, I will gnar them everyday for three weeks. I have it in an old Big Brother I saved, but I really need a digital copy.

For backflipping off a cop car to prove he wasn't drunk. What kind of BULLSHIT is that to be locked in a mental hospital for?

I don't have a scanner, and there is also a page missing. It's probably one of the better Big Brother issues.May of 2003 with Nate Sherwood on the cover.

Lets start a campaign to harass the shit out of Dave Carnie until he finishes that archive.

I don't think so. Bummer.

I have a Rohan story. One time, a couple years ago I think, I was at Tampa Pro, in the parking lot, and Billy Rohan rolls up being dropped off in a '70's Cadillac wearing blue lensed sunglasses, a Wu-Tang sweatshirt and a doo rag with 2 girls with him. "What's up guys?" and he just rolled into the park.

Are you kidding me? Jumping on the hood of a cop car and doing a backflip off of it proves you are either crazy or drunk, and since he apparently landed the backflip I'm going with crazy.
But anyway, I'm pretty sure it was a german, or some other non-english speaking country's  mental hospital. The reason he claims to have done the backflip was because they didn't speak english and he thought it would be the best way to prove he wasn't drunk without being able to tell them with words. I'm assuming the bobbies in England can speak English.
But yeah, he has done a whole bunch of other crazy shit too, liking being in Jail in the states, flipping out, throwing a "shit bomb" at a guard, and attempting to escape. They put him in the psyche ward for that one too.
He's been institutionalized multiple times, and I guarantee legitimate psychiatrists reviewed him before during and after his stays.

With all that said though, all the great artists are nuts, and I'm routing for Billy Rohan.

That blindfolded switch hardflip in Tampa was over the pyramid, and it took place in 1996. It really just doesn't get any gnarlier.

He's done all sorts of crazy shit. Remember when Rockstar Bearings put out the "Billy's Nuts" hardware?
