Karl, why did you create an account to post on slap? Have you been a lurker before or is it just cheap advertising?
And are you as nice to BMXers and Rollerbladers as you are to skaters?
It's great that you post here, though it's a shame that your appearance scared COTG into lurker status, hahaha. The power of NICE. Could you try to troll him back to posting?

What's up with your permasmile.

Hey whats up LoggedinLurker. Ok, here we go:
I created an account on SLAP because I'm a skater who is no different than any other skater. Plus, I love skateboarding and talking about it.
Yes, I have lurked here before (doesn't everybody) and no, I don't see it as cheap advertisement.
Yes, I treat BMXers and Bladers the same as skaters. I don't like being a hater but do enjoy an occasional heckle of the Bladers. Mainly because of their funny tricks names.
COTG! Please come back!
Thanks Mr. LoggedinLurker

Kenny Reed is a rad dude indeed. He's a pretty quiet guy who keeps to himself but if you approach him he'll be super cool.
I-Path was an awesome thing in the beginning; with me, Mike Daher and the 3 Matts. But everything changes. After they were sold to Timberland a couple people were hired who had a different vision for the brand. They have some rad dudes on the team for sure but without Matt Field, I-Path can suck it.
Also, im not to sure as to why my last pro shoe was too expensive but I would love to release a super cheap shoe for the market.

Im pretty much indifferent about it... They do sponsor BA and Plunkett so they get props for that but them suing Nugget is just insane.

Regular frontside flips. I can do them switch but suck at them regs.
Karma taught me how to do them a few years back at the flat ground spot on 6 and Fulton in SF, but after that day they just slipped away.

I wouldn't call her crazy but we all know when a women is unhappy or mad, shit can hit the fan and they will do things that don't make since. Life is a constant learning experience and during that chapter of my life I learned a lot about how one persons decisions can affect another.

I've never been to Peru but I've always wanted to go. I looked into an Organika tour before but the timing wasn't right. Maybe in 2012 Organika will visit your beautiful country.

Karl, if you come to chicago, will you skate with me?
-

My all time favorite has to be Ray Barbee or Tommy Guerrero.
I dont want to call anybody out but the worst skaters as far as representing skating has to be someone makes beginners feel bad about not being good yet.
My secret to a "chill ass style" is to only put the makes in my video parts. If you saw the process to me landing a trick you might think otherwise ;D

I remember visiting SF around 2000 and I went to 3rd and Army. There was about 15-20 people spread out along the whole strip. Rodrigo Tx, Javier Sarmiento, some other pros and other regular skaters were rolling around and just chilling. I'll never forget when you rolled up and you personally said "What's up?" to every single person there, including me. I think you were meeting up with Tx or something cough...weed...cough but you left after like 10 minutes and said "Peace" to every one on the way out! That was sick! I appreciated the good vibes and that attitude is inspiring. I wish I could be so happy and positive like you, but I'm a bitter, jaded asshole. I'll work on it some more!

I remember the first time I went to pier7 It was about 11 years ago. I was a little 16 year old hesher kid just kind of lurking out, in awe of the famous spot. Karl, I remember when you rolled up you said what's up to everybody at the pier, including me. First time I'd met a pro at a street spot, and I was super stoked. So thanks for the positive vibes.
-
Hey, Karl. You're rad.
3 questions:
1. Did you come up with the concept for your IPath Panther? I had a couple pairs of those. People kind of tripped on them, but they were great skate shoes. Comfy.
2. Still have the Prius? I can't seem to average greater than 36mpg freeway/city. Exceptional vehicle, either way.
3. Will there ever be an 8.5 Organika?
Thanks.
-
do you say '270 out' or 'pretzel out'?

what is your most fun trick to do? not your favourite trick but the one that you find most satisfying to do just for fun

Haha. Hell yeah, man. That sounds like something crazy I would do. I don't know, man. I have this thing about me where I feel a bit more connected to skaters than your average human. I guess im just bias towards skaters ;D
Anyway, cool story. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mr. Lewis ;D Ok, here we go:
-I did come up with the concept for the Panther. I wanted to make a shoe that lasted so folks didn't have to buy a new pair of shoes once a month. Of course it was a bite off the Wallabee Clarks but I thought it would work good for skating.
-Yes, I still do have the Prius. Over 100,000 miles and still kickin butt.
-8.5 Organikas coming soon ;D
-
do you say '270 out' or 'pretzel out'?
I say 270 out. But I like when people say pretzel because Koston coined that phrase.

I actually saw Karl at the Berkeley Park years ago. When I was waking in he said "What's up" or something as if I knew him.

Karls answers are also rad.
so here goes another one.
Did you feel a lot pressure filming for the Lrg part, it came out really sick i really liked it , was it hard to film that part for you Karl?

Karl, isn't it the case that prezel whips are only when spinning 270 out the opposite way you spun to get into said maneuver?
P.S. thank you for your time and dedication to the art (and imo the best trick on hubba ever)

What is a howard grind?

Thanks for the kind words my friend :D
I think there's always a bit of pressure when its time to film a part, mostly self imposed, but its always there. Filming for my LRG part was fun because we got to travel and we had a long time to film, which took away most of the pressure. Im glad you like the part. What do you think about the music? I personally love the song but some folks hated on it.

and im really happy about the josh anderson addition as well. not only do I feel his style really well meshes with that of organica, but that guy is a legend around the northwest and we're all happy about it and frankly just waiting for the day when we can buy his boards!

"The pretzel way out"is a term Koston came up with when referring to the noseslide trick I did down hubba. So I guess it is when you turn 270 out of a certain trick.
This trick might be considered pretzel:

The Donkey Punch is when your engaged in anal sex and when your about to ejaculate you punch the poor little lady in the back of the head so her anal cavity tightens making the orgasm all that more better (for you ofcourse).
I donkey punched Meredith last night, and It was awesome

so what made you decide to call it organika? did you have other names in mind or was that one floating in your head for a while?
We did have another name picked out but Organika fit the best. Im just stoked that we've reached 10 years ;D
Shit, it's been 10 years already? SICK. Congrats!!

Karl- what is your thought process when coming up with a trick?
Your tricks seem to come from a totally different wavelength than what is going on around you most times, what/who inspires you in terms of coming up with new tricks/combos?
Good question!
This might sound weird but my thought process to coming up with a trick is quite simple. Honestly, I go to a park or sit in my backyard and open myself up to the Universe. And no joke, ideas begin to flow. Also, growing up watching people like Brian Lotti, Henry Sanches and Guy skate was a huge influence for me and I still get inspired by those dudes.
Us skaters are some of the most creative beings. I wander if we use a larger percentage of our brain. I wouldn't doubt it.

I'm trying to remember what the original name was....altered or something like that....I remember a seth cheeks ad of a switch inward heel manny up the pier 7 pad. dude was killin it back then, heard he moved back to Mississippi.

You've got a great memory! Yes, Altered. As in Altered state of mind. And Seth is the man, Im pretty sure he's in NY right now.
I skate peace wall sometimes, its pretty fun there :)
-
Yeeee! I'm surprised I remembered that one, I just remember thinking Organika was definitely the better choice when I seen the name change and the graphics! Did any boards ever come out under that name? I can't remember seeing any.
Seth was the man, for sure. for anyone who's unfamiliar with him:
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xrh_245eeyI#)
I remember going and buying those lakai's that he's wearing in the clip at the library of the nollie 180 heel over the gap cuz I was so hyped on him. So raw! I wish he would've stayed in the game longer, dude was killing it...maybe he still is, I'd love to see him reappear.
Peace wall is such a fun spot, a lil hairy at times but always a good heavy session going on. One of the big selling points of Berkeley for me!

Karl, I say this with the most respect possible. In the state that skateboarding is in now, is it hard for pros that arent Ryan Sheckler to make a living? Like, you are not favorited by a whole lot of new generation skaters who don't really skate and love watching Life of Ryan. Bassically, what I'm tryin to say is is it hard to make a living with skateboarding for a more underground-ish pro like you.

Too funny! Im glad you being the recipient of many of my spitballs has made you a better man....I was such a mischievous little dude, sorry that man :)
EMB/SF lives on through all skaters. It being a nebula of creativity and newness, brought us to this point. As far as me, Carroll and Chico being the only dudes who never fell off, thats a hell of a nice thing to say ;D but I never really looked at it that way. I guess if you say so, then thats what it is.
Thanks for the spitball memories
Peace out sk8ninja.

hey man i might be off on this but i thought i read something about you having a brain tumor
is that true?
are you ok?
Yeah, you're right. I do have a brain tumor. Its right above my Pineal Gland.
Im ok though. I saw some big shot surgeon guy who was bragging about how many brain surgeries he does a year. The guy thought he was the ish. Well, he suggested that he remove the tumor and my Pineal Gland, claiming the Pineal Gland to be a dormant body part like the tail bone.
I've read about the Pineal Gland and it is actually very important for a number of reasons. So after they said they're going to take it out I was pretty turned off by that. Luckily its benign, so all I have to do is monitor it for now.

Honestly, Its all about who backs you. If you ride for someone with integrity and you do your work, its a good situation. Some dudes have it pretty hard but I've never really had it too bad. Im just thankful to my sponsors for such a long run. I mean, dang, I've been pro for half my life; 17 years now. Im just stoked to still be doing what im doing.

Did you base your I-path pro model off of the old Jason Lee Airwalks that you used to always seem to be skating?
Also, what about a top 5 favorite shoes ever?

Karl, you are the very first pro i met back in 2000. I can't lie, I wore the hell out of that expedition video. It was dope meeting your favorite dude. On top of that you were super approachable. Thanks for the good memory. I think I actually still have a photo from that day lying around. i need to post that. thanks for the positivity. It actually had a big influence on the way i looked at skateboarding early on.
what other board companies have you almost ridden for?

Yeah, I was definitely a big fan of Airwalk but I didn't base a shoe design off of them. I did base my first pro shoe off of the Wallabee with the stitch down the center though.
Im not much of a sneaker head but i'll give it a shot, here we go:
1- Adidas, Cortez
2- Airwalk, Enigmas
3- I Path, Cats
4- Lakai, Picos
5- Stevie's DC shoe, The Reason

Karl you are seriously the fucking man, i wish i could articulate in words how stoked i am right now, and hey if you can't have something on your board at all times it is ok, you can be the exception.? WELCOME TO THE CREW...or should i say WU
HEWL YEH! I AM HELLA ANTICIPATING THAT PIC BRUDDAH!

Hey Karl. I just gotta say the u-turn run in the ftc 3 video is the greatest thing ever.. always puts me on a good mood and makes me wanna skate
By the way last september i flew from Hong Kong to Bangkok and in the airplane they showed your part from sf greatest misses.. it was weird but i was stoked
And the stupid question im about to ask: do you know the song in the end credits of zach & walkers concrete jungle? it is such a chilled tune and i need it really bad
-
Hey Karl who do you shred with on the reg? any mainstays/bros? oh... and do you play any instruments/make music, etc?
Also wanted to tell you I'm a fan of your shred sled engineering, been a huge Kayo supporter for years.

When was the last time you bought anything related to skateboarding (boards, shoes, insoles, hardware etc.)?

Did you base your I-path pro model off of the old Jason Lee Airwalks that you used to always seem to be skating?
Also, what about a top 5 favorite shoes ever?
Im not much of a sneaker head but i'll give it a shot, here we go:
1- Adidas, Cortez
2- Airwalk, Enigmas
3- I Path, Cats
4- Lakai, Picos
5- Stevie's DC shoe, The Reason
Hah I'm hyped you have some "walking shoes" as your number 1.
I remember thinking those wallabee ones were real weird in 9th grade until I saw this older skater Pat wearing them. I thought they were pretty gully from that point on.
I'd also like to know about who you've been skating with a lot recently. Any video parts you have been rocking before going out skating?
-
yo karl! you should definitely check out harborside, i have a jar from there :). any how, i lived in oakland 3 months last year, and it was fucking dope! coming from the south east and skating mostly places like florida, and coming to northern california was a dream. i was just wondering what it was like to grow up skating in oakland, and if it was really crazy in the 90s time frame? also have you skated the new park at the youth uprising center?
Whats up DevinSB
Definitely got to check that place out, I keep hearing cool thing about it. Growing up in Oakland was something else, man. I moved to SF when I was 9 but before that I had hella fun living in Oaktown. Too Short used to date this girl who lived on my block, that was pretty much the topic of discussion until I was 13 ;D and on that same block is where I discovered my very first banana board.
That new plaza at the Youth Uprising Center is so fun. Have you gotten a chance to skate it? You should move back to The Bay just to skate there.

Also, one company that I almost rode for was Chocolate back in the day.
Damn...! It would have been such a good fit.
Please, tell us the story behind that - you know we need to know...
Yeah, that would have been a good fit back in the day for sure.
Well, York and I used to be best friends so when he rode for Stereo I got on as a flow rider. During that time Mike ended up getting let go from Stereo and Chocolate was being formed. I stayed on flow for Stereo and Mike, Shamil and Ben Sanchez were some of the first ams as Chocolate launched. I found out about 1 year later that I was on the original list but they thought things were going good for me at Stereo so they didn't ask me. To say the least I was hella bummed when I found that out but it was too late to make that move. Its all good now though :) Organikarl for life.

is there any truth to the story that you got organika as a reward for staying with expedition over a new offer? if so, who wanted to to ride for them, and why'd you turn it down?

First off, you're always one of my favorite poster on here. I love your cartoon thingy ;D ;D its too funny.
I usually skate with local rippers mostly in the East Bay. But I always have fun skating with my teammates, as they are all my homies :-* Richard Jefferson is someone I skate with a lot too.
I do paint mandala type pieces but unfortunately no musical skills. I've tried but not too good at it. Tommy and Rays music is amazing though. I love those dudes. Do you get down on the musical tip?
-

Very true, but I didn't just 'get it', its a constant work in progress indeed. Luckily my partner appreciated my loyalty at the time.
The company was World, and they offered me 2 times what I was making and a car payment on a BMW or something like that. It was right before World disappeared into oblivion for like 8 years... Stoked I made the right decision i'll tell you that ;D

I've been skating with local rippers recently. Skated with Bubble Gum Tate, that was fun. Also, Kyle Camarillo, he makes amazing videos and skates good.
My number 1 skater to watch right now is Austyns Gillette, check these amazing parts right here:

LMAO!!! I feel you, man. I was pretty stoked on it for a while until a lot of the dudes with dreads became killers. That bummed me out because when you have dreads you're supposed to be somewhat peaceful. Well, I guess thats how it used to be when I first started my dreads.
But I did think all of the fun aspects of the hyphy movement were pretty entertaining.

For sure my all-time favorite spot has to be Embarcadero. Not being bias but that place had everything for the 90's skater :o No and days I skate so many different spots its hard to pick just one but I really like the Richmond skatepark, that place is fun!
Thanks for the kind words ;D

If you ever get the time post some of your pieces, love to see them. Also appreciate the kind words. Stay rad!

Good question.
I recommend you film your friends, build your skills and then submit their footage to different people. If they end up getting sponsored, you'll most likely be their "personal filmer". Good luck, Sarcasm. U can do it!

Turn walker and Zach pro, you put out there promo video years ago. They both have had other parts come out since and get mag coverage. You need them to promote Organika to the younger guys. Sorry to say, kids don't want a whim board, they just don't get it. Also, get another artist in there for a board series or two. Don't change it completely cause your on the right track.

Walker is already turning pro, i dont know when. But Karl mentioned it in his facetime. But the next dude who should be pro is Rodrigo Peterson, dude just kills it.

i agree with this 100% (and you need to turn Rodrigo Peterson pro as well. deserves it big time.) your pros are pretty much vets/legends, so that might not appeal to the kids too much. also, mix up the art direction a bit and maybe put out a lil promo like Expedition did with Madness. your ams are all pretty great (of course, i feel like a few of them should be pro by now.)
other than that, the company's cool. aesthetically, i like the vibe too. just get yourselves out there a lil more. DGK and Expedition have been expanding as of late (team and popularity wise,) so i wanna see the same for Organika.

Nikhil Thayer is the man! He was SF's version of "the perfect man". Meaning he's kinda like Kenny Anderson - just an all around good dude. One thing I can say about Nikhil is that he did two tricks i'll never forget; switch crook to switch back tail and noseblunt slide to switch back tail. I forgot what video those tricks are in, but they were both on the same ledge. Tell him I say hi ;D
Talk to you later, my skateboarding brethren.

Karl, I don't know if would have the greatest advice on this, but if I drove up to SF for the Real video premier, is there anyway an average skater and his french friend could get in? or is it all going to be pros?
And if you don't want to answer since it's not your company, would I see you around skating the day before if it's not raining?
Well, if it was only for 'pros' that would be one boring premier. Im pretty sure you'll be able to get in though. Just come to SF and wing it. You'll have a good time regardless ;D

First of all, thank you for the kind words ;D
Honestly, the way I deal with a stretch of bad luck is pretty funny. I just think about how small we are in this vast Universe and how the problem thats in front of me is mundane in comparison.
An Organika x Slap collaboration needs to happen, thanks for the good idea ;)

Thanks for your question ;D
Cool man. I thought Profile and Expedition were owned by the same dudes. And for whatever reason someone told me the owner was way into drugs and smoked all the money so they went under.
Do you remember Sam Silverstone? Long story short I lived in London and was back in SF for a minute and my friend had me meet up with him to grab some boards from the warehouse. I think the package was like 5 boards but he told me to take a shitload and scoot. So I ended up with 20 or so. James Kelch was there too taking a dump if I remember correctly.
Yours was a white background with black graffic on it,, but I don't remember of what. I grabbed two, rode one and sold the other one to my friend.

Sam Silverstone? I don't remember him by name but I'm sure if I saw him in person I'd remember. Crazy story about those boards though ;) Also, the owner of Profile was pretty off the hook, you're sources were right... But he was still an alright dude.

Thanks man, my name is Drew and that second Dru Down song was the shit back in the day especially if you were in or around the bay area. Easy enough user name to remember too.
And Karl, was it Experience the other company that the you rode for? Maybe I am mixing up Expedition and Experience? Been so long man. Who was your board sponsor in 1995? I swear it was the same company that backed Profile. Try googling anything with 'experience and profile' in it and see what comes up lol.
Could be wrong though.

He rode for Mad circle, and I think there was a short period of skating for World before that if I'm not confused. Maybe there were others too.

I see where the mixup is. Experience and Profile were owned by the same guy. Roger was his name. I rode for Profile in 95. Seems like a lifetime ago.

It depends on what you want to do in the skateboard industry. I think starting out in the warehouse is always a good idea. That way you really get to learn a lot about the industry because the warehouse folks are integral to skateboarding as a whole.
If you would like to work for Organika up in beautiful Canada please check with our distributor S & J.
Thanks for inquiring ;D

I used to focus boards all the time...It was the thing to do when World Industries dominated skateboarding. The last time was about 3 years ago though. Nose and tail were gone so I was like "F it dude, I'm going to get all Kerry Getz on this board". But the last time I focused a board out of anger was a hella long time ago, maybe like 1995.

right on. western MA has a tight skate scene, nothing but PMA every time i've ventured from the south shore. NoHo park is beastly!!!
Karl, i was just out in Northern California for the first time a few weeks ago. It seems like the environment, the air quality, the clean ground, the big ancient trees, the acceptance of ganja, and the cleaner weather on the whole, seem to allow people to get on a level of positivity that i haven't seen other places- do you think that affects the skating? i remember reading an interview with Matt Pailles where he spoke of getting into a completely different frame of mind after spending some time in Nor Cal after moving from MA. i can see how this change in atmosphere could affect all of it. skating is some urban post modern poetic creation of the mind meeting the body and rising with the soul, the place where it rises to is key

yo karl! you should definitely check out harborside, i have a jar from there :). any how, i lived in oakland 3 months last year, and it was fucking dope! coming from the south east and skating mostly places like florida, and coming to northern california was a dream. i was just wondering what it was like to grow up skating in oakland, and if it was really crazy in the 90s time frame? also have you skated the new park at the youth uprising center?
Definitely got to check that place out, I keep hearing cool thing about it. Growing up in Oakland was something else, man. I moved to SF when I was 9 but before that I had hella fun living in Oaktown. Too Short used to date this girl who lived on my block, that was pretty much the topic of discussion until I was 13 ;D and on that same block is where I discovered my very first banana board.
That new plaza at the Youth Uprising Center is so fun. Have you gotten a chance to skate it? You should move back to The Bay just to skate there.
haha what?! i always hoped to see short dogg around town! yeah i skated it when right when it first got finished. me and a few homies hopped the fence and skated it really early in the morning, and i skated a few times after they started letting people in and everything. I'd love to come back to the bay area, just have to get my finances right first! definitely much cooler place to live than the southeast.

Hey Karl, thanks for Organika and the positivity you bring to skateboarding. I have a request to make. Could you try to reissue the original Organika logo t-shirt. I always thought you guys were gonna have that like Expedition does their original E tee every year. I have been hoping it would be back out. PLEASE KARL!:)
Backing that! I would get one too

When you get a pro shoe again do you think it would be more simple like the Lakai Picos you always seem to be skating or more crazy like your first 2 IPath shoes?
Had like 2-3 pairs of the P2s back in the day but wore them mostly for walking around b/c I couldn't skate in them.

Wow! 2 or 3 pairs... I feel like I should give you a hug, man ;D Thanks for the "back in the day" support...
The Picos are perfect for my narrow/stinky feat. So yes, I would make a shoe thats similar to those ;)

obviously im not Karl (i wish HA) but the spots bieng all rough doesnt make it harder to get coverage, infact usually it makes it easier because we can do simpler tricks on harsher spots and still get coverage because the trick is "as gnarly" but yes the fact that most big companies are based in the US makes it harder but there has been a great increase in UK indipendant board companies in recent years so theres more options.

Karl,

And do you agree that it's a ton harder for UK skaters to get coverage they deserve due to lack of perfect spots and companies all being based in the US?
I'll answer it too. That industry, those magazines, and the photographers and filmers that film for it are from the U.S., built from an industry started in the U.S. It's not like God came down and said that people in the states deserve coverage and people in the U.K. don't. The fact is that the U.S. built its own scene and sponsored skaters from that scene. The fact that U.K. skaters want to be part of the U.S. industry is kind of dumb. You want more industry in the UK? Start a magazine, start a company, build a spot. The U.S. industry doesn't owe the U.K. shit. Fucking entitled Europeans need to realize it has been well established you aren't the center of the Universe.
Also, most cities in the U.S. are rough. Just because SD and LA are smooth doesn't mean the other 98% of America is always skating smooth spots

What would you do if J Cassonova begged for a spot on Organika because Selfish went out of business and his rapping didnt work out and he had no way to make ends meet?
LOL! I would tell him to go back to his roots and forget about becoming the next big rapper... I think if he publicly gave up rapping and solely focused on skating he would be excepted in the skateboard community again... But he doesn't fit Organika.
-

And do you agree that it's a ton harder for UK skaters to get coverage they deserve due to lack of perfect spots and companies all being based in the US?
Well, I don't really think about English skaters being any different then US skaters. But I do see the downside to living outside of the states when it comes to getting recognized on an international level. And yes, the spots are no joke out there. They're kinda like East Coast spots..

Karl - I've been on this quest to dig up any all info about "Clean" skateboards from the early to mid 90's. I just recently found out that you rode for them, so I figured you'd be the person to ask. Clean is special to me because my first board was given to me by the ( alleged) cousin of the guy/guys who owned the brand after his return from some ASR type event. It was actually the same board you're riding in your Clean ad on your chromeball post ( blue board w/ white bubble font ).

Karl,
You have at least one child that I know of. I study communication disorders and wondered if your child developed "typically" (by typical I don't insinuate in any way that children with disabilities are of lesser worth than other children. There must be some pros with kids that have children with additional challenges.
Obviously it would be inappropriate to say who by name, but do you know of any skateboarders professional or otherwise that have a child that has a disability.
(I always found it interest how many pro-football players end up having kids with developmental disabilities.)
Finally, Kalis admitted to impregnating his girl via doggystyle. How do you recommend fertilizing that sweet, sweet uterus that so many women happen to have?
My children all came out pretty darn good. But my youngest son is a little rough around the edges, he's always fighting and hitting teachers and stuff like that. Its kinda tough to deal with because Im not used to that type of behavior.
Also, I recommend impregnation via making love. Might sound cliche but the result is better... I should know, I've made 3 so far. LOL

Hey Karl!
I know this has nothing to do with beer insertions but I was curious to know about your ailment? The last time I read up on you was during your TWS interview; where you had stated something about some kind of cancer within your eye. I can't remember what exactly it was, but I'm sure it's something that hasn't slipped your or any other Karl Watson's fan's memory. I was just wondering how everything is going and good vibrations coming from the midwest to you, homey!

dude karl your the man!! that front nose to front fail in ur lrg part made me flip out!!! dope that you post on slap!! keep ripping
how often do pros roll their ankles?? I've been told by my physiotherapist and doctors that injuries like rolled ankles make ur shit more prone to injury. How many times have you rolled your ankles and is there any secrets you know in like stretching or whatnot for prevention?
Do tricks you rolled your ankle on ever trip you out in the future once ur ankle is healed?

Mr. LemonParty, thank you for the love ;D
I wish I know of some secret to prevent ankle and other injuries! I think its pretty much inevitable because what we do is so darn dangerous. I've hurt my ankles bad so many times but no pain no gain... Also, coming back after an injury is such a crazy experience. Its like you have to learn how to skate again lol. But eventually it all comes back.
Thanks again for the props on that trick
Peace
-

Figured I'd throw this out there cuz I found it works well for me. I have a bike inner tube I use to stretch out with, use the resistance to do the abc stretches and things. I have a real shitty ankle and doing that seems to work to keep it feeling semi-strong and loose from day to day. Give it a try.

A while back when I was in Spain, we were skating at Mocba and this dude rolled up super disturbed. He said he just saw Danny walk
out of his front door and kick a pigeon. I guess he broke the pigeons wing and messed it all up... That pretty much sucks.
I remember when he was super young I met him and Ryan Nix in LA, they were soooo good back then.

That's really cool, I know a kid from my area a year younger who got really into that. I'm writing a research report on teleportation (pre-assigned) in my chemistry class right now and quantum teleportation seems really rad. That stuffs going to turn into the new internet. It's going to make torrenters poop their pants. Maybe even make an ansible like from ENDERS GAME.

Also, the nollie varial flip over the wall at the end. The leg movement, the catch. That might be one of the nicest things ever done on a skateboard. Taking a trick that does not always look too cool and making a composition of it that is completely all your own style.

I would have to say New Zealand is my favorite place I've traveled to. I went there with the LRC crew and it was so much fun. I really enjoyed soaking in their hot spring waterfalls. Thanks Dave Chami for showing us a great time :D
Skating wise, I would have to pick Spain. The reasoning for that is pretty much self-explanatory. Have you been there yet?

Oh yeah, I've had a couple nasty run-ins with the police. I wont get too deep into it but I've had a certain lady who used to be in my life alleged some very crazy things about me. I ended up getting arrested twice over he-said-she-said. Pretty much one of the worst experiences in my life...
The cops were pretty cool and totally understood the nature of the situation and were reluctant to even do anything. But when people cry wolf the cops dont know if its real or not so they have to go through the whole process, which I totally understand ;)

Much respect to you too!!

Yeeee! I'm surprised I remembered that one, I just remember thinking Organika was definitely the better choice when I seen the name change and the graphics! Did any boards ever come out under that name? I can't remember seeing any.
Seth was the man, for sure. for anyone who's unfamiliar with him:?

I remember going and buying those lakai's that he's wearing in the clip at the library of the nollie 180 heel over the gap cuz I was so hyped on him. So raw! I wish he would've stayed in the game longer, dude was killing it...maybe he still is, I'd love to see him reappear.
Peace wall is such a fun spot, a lil hairy at times but always a good heavy session going on. One of the big selling points of Berkeley for me!
His guest tricks in this is killer

that pete rock beat slaps! sorry for the deviation, back to the questions peeps ha I'ma go make a seth cheeks petition thread...
One of the first guys I ever saw skate switch for an entire day without anyone knowing the difference. I would occasionally run into him while he was visiting MS, and he was always a super nice guy. I was bummed he never got his own board, but I think he decided to move on to other things.

Dude, the hands down craziest thing I've ever seen in SF was when I was 16 years old hanging out with friends doing graffiti like at 2 or 3 in the morning.
Well, we were walking down Geary St. in the Fillmore District and we saw one of those long busses just stopped in the middle of the street. As, we approached with caution (because we were up to no good ourselves) we saw the bus driver lying face down on the ground and his legs were still up on the stairs. It was such a crazy site to see. So we went up to the guy and called out at him to wake him up and see what was going on. When this middle aged black man lifted up his face it was a site out of a horror movie. The dudes face was all sliced up and his eyelid was just dangling. It was truly frightening! He told us in a seemingly drunk tone (but he was just effed up) that some Asian gangsters jumped him and stabbed him in the face.
Craziest thing i've seen crackheads and vagrants do is have sex in broad daylight with absolutely no regard for anybody watching. SF is a crazy yet beautiful place indeed.
Thanks for the question, my man!

having looked at that picture of you with the coffee cruiser a couple more times, I now realize that I probably should have made your board one of the bigger, longer shapes that I had going.
Have you set that thing up yet? and if so, are you able to get both feet squeezed on there somehow?

The size works for me ;) I have yet to set it up and Im a little reluctant to do so. Mainly because of the awesome hand painted graphic. Going out of town tomorrow but once I get back I'll be cruisin!

Luckily my ankles are still intact and feeling good. Its the knees for me but they're not that bad. I think stretching helps keep your joints feeling good.

dear karl.
i could't skate for three weeks due to work and university issues.
i set up a new board today, and hit the streets.
it was the worst session in a long time, i skated for hours but i didn't land any of the stuff i was trying.
all the bros did land their shit left and right.
when i came home i saw that the new board delaminates.
why did i have such a fucked up day?
am i too old for this shit?
should i buy a harley instead and become a badass biker?
happy birthday by the way.

Dude, I know how you feel. Don't trip too hard though, it'll all come back for sure! Your next session will be 10 times better I bet. This kind of stuff happens to me all the time. Being a badass biker isn't a bad thing either though ;)

Karl,
I remember once meeting you back in the summer of 2002 outside the old FTC shop on Shrader. I asked if you were Karl Watson I think and I recall you being the nicest pro I had ever met. As a 12-year old, it was really rad at the time. You gave me a compliment on my Anti-Hero t-shirt that had a 2-headed eagle on it and thought my DC Manteca's were I-Path's because of the identical stitching. When my friend and I went inside the shop, I remember you going back behind the counter and grabbing a handful of Satori and I-Path stickers which you gave to my friend and I. After that, I put all these I-Path and Satori stickers on my GG Allin Anti-Hero deck. Pretty funny juxtaposition I guess.
I have a question for you; when EMB was about to get torn down, did all the locals head down there to try the craziest tricks ala Love Park? I always wondered why Love became such a big deal in the media, but the Justin Herman Plaza got no love at all.

Watched Concrete Jungle again last night. Still good. When will those Walker Ryan boards be shipping?

considering you never you never skate handrails, how hard was it to get that nollie front tail at broklynn banks (?) in It's Official?
Not positive, but I dont think that rail is at the banks or in New york.

You're right. That little flat bar was at Griffith park in Los Angeles ;D
Also, It wasn't hard at all, I was stoked because my board almost fell in the water but I saved it in the nick of time.

I had nice pop shuvs on lock back in the day but then learned them frontside and now can't do them backside to save my life. They flip over every time. I'm sure it's elementary but... Help!!!

Dude, I had that same problem with varial flips and 360 kickflips. I learned tre flips first then about a year later I learned varial flips. After a week of doing V flips and neglecting my tres', I had the toughest time getting my 360 flips back to where they felt natural again.
So eventually I had to pick the trick I liked the most, which was the 360 flip. My advice to you is to pick the better of the two and do the other only in games of skate LOL Thats the only time I'll throw out my dreadfully ugly dog flip.
Skating can be so tricky sometimes : ) Good luck my man!

Yo Karl! I was curious to know about your unfortunate ailment? The last time I read up on you was during your TWS interview; where you had stated something about some kind of cancer within your eye. I can't remember what exactly it was, but I'm sure it's something that hasn't slipped your or any other Karl Watson's fan's memory. I was just wondering how everything is going and good vibrations coming from the midwest to you, homey!

The midwest is truly one of the most beautiful parts of our Country! Thanks again Nesser for showing me a great time!
Well, a couple of years back, after taking a board to the face at Tampa Pro. I went to the hospital where they did a cat scan on my head in order to see if they had to do surgery on my face, which was fractured in two places. Well, my "face" wasn't broken LOL You get what im saying.
So when the doctor came back into the room, where my good friend and I anxiously waited for their findings, we received a very unexpected result. Yes, my "face" was broken and the left side of my mouth was numb for 6 months after, but the news they gave us was completely shocking. A brain tumor.
After being consoled by friends and a good cry I attempted to enter the best trick contest at Tampa Pro the next day. And I got lucky and did my second ever fs noseslide to fs tailslide.
Anyways, the tumor is benign so there's no need for any type of treatment at this time.
Thanks for reaching out! And thanks being a part of our small yet vast community we call skateboarding!

anyone wanna hook up directions to the bank spot the dude skates at 0:25? san jose right?

What up Karl. Have to ever been out Atlanta or New York to skate, and if so what spots did you like?
Whats up, Sir Black Demon.
I have been to both cities. Didn't do much skating in the ATL but New York is sick! Just skating down the street holding on to taxi cabs was the best! Brooklyn banks was fun too.
-
Ol' Dirty Karl!! AHAHA I say that to everyone. The original early IPATH days were one of my favorite times in skateboarding my man. Crazy how things change. Where is Nate Jones and if he's a musician now how could one go about hearing his stuff. Peace my friend.
Whats up man. Im kinda feeling that name ;D
Dude, the early Ipath days were pretty rad indeed. Nate is still killin it with music and his family. I recently reached out to him about being apart of Praxis Footwear because that dude has limitless style on and off the board.
-
In fact in a perfect world a leisure shoe company headed up by you, Nate and Field would be really dope. A round two of what ipath should have been. WORD LIFE!!!!!
Would be rad!!
Who is this? Seems like we know each other.

Hey Karl,
just gotta ask you one thing. Did Organika help out Walker Ryan even a bit with paying for his UCSB or UCSD (i'm not sure, I forgot) schooling? I'm currently in a university myself, proud Bruin! It gets me sooo stoked that he's a UC graduate and he's a pro skater! The skateboarding world always surprises me.
(PS: I always get bad vibes from longboarders around here, one time I've been asked "why bother with a 'street' board". Haha, it's ridiculous.)

One day we were all skating around and he said "I feel like skating Wallenberg". We went there and he did a kickflip over the four block first try.

No funny Gerwer stories but im a huge fan of the dude.

3rd and army is fun... but it used to be 100 times better when the concrete still had that nice gloss coat on it. Same goes for the Pier. Karl.. remember how dope the flatground was at the Pier the first couple years??
It was all glossy and you could slam and slide... now its straight up sand paper. Fucking weather.

Gotta love the East Coast fam!
I have not LOVE park stories but I can tell you what it was like when he came to SF.
Not to kiss his ass or anything but Josh was the only dude to come to SF that was literally untouchable. Josh had the utmost respect from all in SF. He would show up to Pier 7 and do the most amazing tricks with vigor and style.
One thing that really stands out is not really skate related but it was still impressive. Well, there was this model chick who was affiliated with the EMB crew that was insanely gorgeous. Not one person out of our crew had enough "game" to ever get through to her but when Josh came he brought that east coast confidence with him. She ended up falling in love with him but he never seemed to focus on anything else but his skateboarding so I think she just kind of faded away.
Thanks for the question, my man!

You guys rolled hella deep.. and i heard the stories... so my approach was to earn respect rather than try and be accepted.. if that makes any sense.
I remember dude at FTC reamed me out for trying to borrow a board until my Toy Machine box showed up. I was with Drake Jones so i thought i had some clout. Nope..... lol... dude said... "who the fuck are you... i don't give a shit about your Toy Machine box. You can't just get in the Black Book!!"

Karl, you asked Matt Rodriguez if he was down to ride for Organika, and he answered in the pals question thing that you guys should talk.. were you serious, and have you talked? That would be the sickest pick up ever. Matt Rodriguez is one of my favorites, I'd love a chance to see more of him!

Hey Karl, are you familiar with the website goskate.com? Their a website that offers skateboarding lesson to kids and they have you listed as an included pro instructor. Are they just name dropping to seem legit or do you actually do business with them? If you don't know about them I would suggest talking to them to get your name off their site considering they have a pretty bad rep. If you do actually do business with them Ill have a follow up question.

Dude! That is a crazy FTC story! I had no idea that happened to you. Was it Kent? He's the only one I could see having the balls to say something like that. That respect was earned indeed homie! Dudes were so gnarly back then. The "leaders" of the EMB crew pretty much could do whatever they wanted to do and they gave every outsider a hard time.

Karl, you asked Matt Rodriguez if he was down to ride for Organika, and he answered in the pals question thing that you guys should talk.. were you serious, and have you talked? That would be the sickest pick up ever. Matt Rodriguez is one of my favorites, I'd love a chance to see more of him!
Matt and I are really good friends so It was half serious half joking. But judging by his reaction and how rad he is, I should hit him up and see what we can do.

Hey Karl, are you familiar with the website goskate.com? Their a website that offers skateboarding lesson to kids and they have you listed as an included pro instructor. Are they just name dropping to seem legit or do you actually do business with them? If you don't know about them I would suggest talking to them to get your name off their site considering they have a pretty bad rep. If you do actually do business with them Ill have a follow up question.
Yes! I am very familiar with this website. I worked for them a few times and the experience was pretty cool. I just skated for 5 year olds at birthday parties lol. The pay was horrible but I did it for the experience and to make some kiddies happy.

Dear Karl,
If an Organika rider started smoking methamphetamine heavily and only gave you footage an photos of slappie 50-50s on curbs how long would it take for their pay to stopped or get fully kicked off?
All the best my friend

Dearest Karl, any LOVE park stories to share? good, bad, funny. Preferably if any of them have Josh in them. I know Kalis has an abundance of stories. Much love from the east coast buddy
I have not LOVE park stories but I can tell you what it was like when he came to SF.
Not to kiss his ass or anything but Josh was the only dude to come to SF that was literally untouchable. Josh had the utmost respect from all in SF. He would show up to Pier 7 and do the most amazing tricks with vigor and style.
One thing that really stands out is not really skate related but it was still impressive. Well, there was this model chick who was affiliated with the EMB crew that was insanely gorgeous. Not one person out of our crew had enough "game" to ever get through to her but when Josh came he brought that east coast confidence with him. She ended up falling in love with him but he never seemed to focus on anything else but his skateboarding so I think she just kind of faded away.
Thanks for the question, my man!
Wow...
Big thanks homie!! Thats crazy.
Thing is.. when i came to SF i already knew how rugged it was. Kelch, Sanch, Carroll yelling at kids, You, Lee, Shelby, Rain, Jocco, Smurfs shady ass...lol, Big Guy, Twan, Geezy, Shamil, ect.
You guys rolled hella deep.. and i heard the stories... so my approach was to earn respect rather than try and be accepted.. if that makes any sense.
I remember dude at FTC reamed me out for trying to borrow a board until my Toy Machine box showed up. I was with Drake Jones so i thought i had some clout. Nope..... lol... dude said... "who the fuck are you... i don't give a shit about your Toy Machine box. You can't just get in the Black Book!!"
I was like... "damn.." Head all low and shit. haha.
But when i finally made it into the Black Book... i was hyped! It was like getting your first pro model board!
I miss those fucking days. People are so fast to accept shit today.
Thanks for the words Karl. Very cool.
Hell yeah!!!

Karl! Is 3rd and army as fun as it look? I'll be in that area in about a week from the Chicago area, and im looking forward to skating it!
That would be really sick, Karl. Nothing i would enjoy more then skating a famous spot with one of the dudes who made it famous! haha
im gonna be in the area between Dec 25th and Jan 3rd. Just PM or something a time when you think you would have free day/time to have a sesh!!
Much appreciated, sir! I will do so. Please feel free to PM me when you're skating too.

Hey Karl, I think you missed my previous question. I'll repost it though, I really wanna know the answer. :)
"Hey Karl,
just gotta ask you one thing. Did Organika help out Walker Ryan even a bit with paying for his UCSB or UCSD (i'm not sure, I forgot) schooling? I'm currently in a university myself, proud Bruin! It gets me sooo stoked that he's a UC graduate and he's a pro skater! The skateboarding world always surprises me. "
I love the fact that Walker has gotten so much support for his achievements through out the years.
That dude is the truth I tell you. I've never met a harder working individual.
As far as us helping with his tuition, nah, Organika doesn't have it like that : )
Hows UCLA treating you?? Tough school I bet.
Thanks so much for the response! I appreciate it. Yes, it's tough to say the least, I rarely have anytime to go street skating anymore. I just get to cruise around, do a few tricks and skate the mellow hills we've got. Still fun being on the board though! Another question, have you ever skated UCLA before? I've seen a few pros skate it before and some on videos that I recognized the spot. Was wondering if you've ever skated it!
-
Karl, will you keep us Slappers updated with the Matt Rodriguez situation? :)
-
^^I'm pretty sure SkateAid was just repackaged arnica, which yeah, totally works.
Psyched to hear about the possible move for Matt. Can't wait to see what his board might look like. Odds are, it'll be my first organika (and probably not my last).
If I make another carpet cruiser to mail out to you, do you think there's anyway you could get it to Mr. Rodriguez?

Interesting, they didnt seem very legit to me. well anyways I taught a few lessons for them and never ended up getting paid. They wont return my emails or phone calls. Do you have any suggestions or could you help me contact the owner? I mean I dont want to get lawyers or anything involved but I really need that money, especially it being Christmas time.

Sorry to hear that, dude. Unfortunately Im no longer in contact with them. They would always call from a blocked caller ID; I guess so they could get over on people in the end. If you did work for them and they owe you money I would recommend you seek legal council. Thats just messed up!

First off, congrats on your newly aquired Pal status.
Secondly, Awesome! I have a couple of new shapes I've been working on for the cruisers, and if he'd be down to receive one, I'd be psyched to make another board for a dude I grew up idolizing.
Any chance Organika is also looking to expand their product line into the cruiser market? and if so, any chance you'd wanna go the carpetgripped route? I mean, I know you've got that little one I sent you on your wall, but I almost wanna make and send you a second just so you could actually try one out, cause they work really well, and they have the potential to look pretty dope if a legit company got behind the idea (plus, they won't tear up your praxis')

Not an awkward question at all.
I truly dont know how much other pros make off of their royalties but I can tell you that it varies a whole lot. Some guys never see royalties off of their boards because they dont sell enough product, but then there are other dudes that get huge checks off of their royalties.
I feel there is an assumption that skateboard pros make a ton of money. There is about 2-5% of guys that make most of this money in this industry. Then you've got guys like myself who live comfortably and just loves the shit out of skateboarding.
I would love to make a lot of money from skateboarding but I think thats only going to come as I become more responsible with my earnings.
If you're looking for a dollar amount I think the average pro skater makes 40,000-60,000 annually.

Hey Karl, Im curious if Kayo is going to make some of their "8 decks alittle shorter length wise. I ride 7.8x31.5 (any kayo deck) and I want to go to "8 but you guys make it in "32 length. I have had terrible sessions riding that length. just curious. Well wishes and happy holidays buddy!
Funny you're asking this. When Kayo first started making 8 boards they looked really funny and that was because they were too short in length. I pretty sure we're going to keep it at 32"
Thanks for checking though.

Wow! Very good memory!! That tour was one of the craziest ever. Just me and Henry.
My man kicked me out of the hotel the night after, over some stupid money issues. Thank God for Drake, my savior, who ended up taking care of me for a couple of days. I'll always love Mr. Jones for that!
Anyway, that young lady was Christina aka Swiss Miss (EMB nickname) and she sure did have some nice mammies. She's also a good friend of mine still but she back in Europe. Are you interested? If so, I can play cupid.

How about we flip the conversation to a more positive note, one about us giving instead of taking wheels from Satori...
Whatever happened to that recycling program you guys were working on? did that actually work at all?
the concept always seemed pretty awesome to me, but I never got to see any of the resulting "revived" wheels from it at any shops I've been to, or even heard anything more about it since the initial announcement of it.
Its that different kind of thinking that I wish more companies would explore now-a-days.

i love this about kayo. because of this and the how good the wood is, i havent bought anything except kayo in about a year

32" is what and 8" board's length should be. I recently cracked my board, so I bought a back-up from a shop who claims their shop boards are DLX wood. It's 8.25 and gotta be 31" long bc it looks like a chode. But it should be a big deal.
-
the worst things about a board are when the board is at least a 8.25 and its less than 32 in length, walkers first pro board is perfect, the 8.38 by 32.5 or whatever, i have it set up right now ready to go hahaha

-
hey Karl you ever been to Vancouver? If so, got a story?
Vancouver is the best place in the world!!! Yes, I've been there many times.
Here's a funny story for ya: One year during the Slam City Jam I drove my little compact rental car to Stanley Park at the end of Robson St. Well, I went very deep into the park anticipating a relaxing couple of hours to myself. Once I found a suitable place to chill I rushed out of the car, and what did I do? I locked the darn keys in the car.
Normally this wouldn't have been that big of a deal but when you're in the middle of a forrest with no cell phone and not many people around, it becomes a true adventure. An adventure that turned into a 5 hour ordeal.
Eventually, after finding somebody who was willing to let me use their phone long enough to guild the tow truck driver step by step to my location.
Vancouver is a place I've considered moving to. Actually Vancouver Island. Good memories for me in your awesome city ;D
On a different note, big ups to S&J sales out there! Good to see you guys at Agenda.....

I've been wondering this for a while. Did the song in Walkers new part have a sentimental message behind it? Since his "Welcome to Organika" video part used the same band, was it meant as like a whole circle sort of thing, like where he is at now is where he began, Organika? I don't know if I am thinking to much into this or whatever but it is just one of my thoughts.

3- And all of the "pros" who aren't even sponsored yet. So many amazing skaters out there with absolutely no support!

How are the insoles on the new Praxis stuff? Everytime i watch that commercial those lowtops make me want them more and more!
Plus, gotta shoot some love to you, Karl. Too bad skate plans didnt work out too well over new years, but i guess thats what you get when you go to the bay in winter ::). Still got to see some sick spots though!

Karl,
Set morals aside on this one, no copping out with the nice guy stuff allowed. This is important stuff.
Mike V’s daughter is pretty banging. Would you risk hitting it, knowing that he’d probably cripple you if you got caught?

I’m pretty sure she’s jail bait, but just for the sake of conversation let’s say she is above 18.

You know, I can honestly say that I have never felt any racist vibes within the skateboard community. In all my 24 years of skating, never. Now outside of skateboarding is a different story lol. I've been blessed to have grown up in such an open minded place that promoted the freedom of expression. So I've pretty much always been around some cool folks.
Thanks for the good question ;)

The winters here in eastern Canada are not only hard on our street spots, but also our economy. I've noticed you like to send out lots of free shit. If I can pay my way out there, would you employ me as your personal courier/errand runner? I apologize for my negative remark about the first Praxis line, they're really not that bad.

Gave your *only* board away to your "friends nephew" so you need a kick-down? Sounds like total bullshit. No skater would sacrifice their board and leave themselves unable to skate like that so I'll assume you're either not really a skateboarder (just someone who happens to ride a board sometimes), you're regular, or you're lying to try to score schwag. More than 1 might apply.

No questions just a story.
I'm from LA, the first time I went up to SF to skate (a long time ago.. late 90s) I was supposed to go skate super early but ended up waking up late and by the time I got to Pier 7 I think, it was packed and dudes where rippin I was just going to turn around because it was honestly intimidating. As I was sitting there Karl just showed up saying hello to everybody I always liked his style but I thought I was gonna get the cold shoulder but he ended up being one of the nicest dudes I met up there shooting the shit for a bit before warming up, after that I stayed and skated.
it made my decision to go to Berkeley (for school) a lot easier knowing I could go to SF and skate without feeling like so much of an outsider :)
thanks dude!

Hi Karl,
I was wondering what you think of Doug Brown?
I am not asking just to try to get you to hate on someone, I really don't know where I stand myself. Half of me thinks the whole thing is so hilarious that I am really glad he is around, posting footy and operating as a pro skater. I would actually say that I would rather watch his footy than other, more talented skaters because it is so funny.
However, the other half is pretty bummed that he is able to make a living off skating when guys that have real talent like Alex Chalmers have to pursue other ways of earning a living and are unable to focus solely on skateboarding.

To be honest Im kinda feeling this guy. I just checked out his site http://www.dougbrownskate.com/ (http://www.dougbrownskate.com/) and I was quite impressed. He has an unorthodox way of skating but his success goes to show that when you're stuck on being "cool" and impressing the next skater you most likely will not get too far. Im backing Doug Brown.

I bet it would be possible to make a limited run, maybe 100 or so. the thing is the carpeting has to be done by hand, but the graphic could easily just be a printed one for a production piece (though I really DO enjoy the artifact-ness of one-offs)
I'd be more than happy to come work for Kayo or wherever for a short stint.
Universal, you hit it on the head with the comfort comment. I still haven't made one to keep for myself yet, but I got to ride one I made for a friend all day a couple of weeks ago (cause I had bruised my heel super early in the day and got demoted to backpack carrying duties)
and even with shoes on, and a bruised heel, I noticed that it felt super comfy under my feet. Like skating your livingroom floor itself.
AND you can still ollie pretty damn good on them.

Yeah, that is pretty funny ;) I cant wait to tell him about this. A "nice-off"! Too funny!

Just picked up pair of your 9five shades in the blackout colorway, these things are rad! I'm not really into sunglasses but these were worth every penny. Stoked you have an awesome model.
Thats rad. Thank you, sir :)

I remember reading that you personally called up Expedition asking to get on the team. How did that go? Were they into you right from the start?

Yes, this is true, I called straight from their ad in a magazine. And It was most definitely a process to get on, a six month process. They were into me but took their time because back then it was truly like a family.

How long does it take to carpet a deck?
Not long at all. I've only had 4 at the most to work on at one time, but I could easily do 10 at a time (which I'm guessing might take an hour or two total). if I was doing a different pattern on each one, it could take a little longer.
So given that I have all the supplies, a workspace, and ventilation, I could knock out a hundo over a really productive weekend maybe?
I'll try to include a little write-up of the process and some ideas or whatever with the board, so maybe you can get a sense of how I think it could work.

Its on!! We'll run a hundred. We'll make the boards, send them to you and you can work your magic and just send them back. Going to Hawaii for a little vacay tomorrow ;D But when I get back I'll call you and we'll work out what it will take to make this happen
-
Thanks for being down to do this, sweatercuff. This is going to be a fun project!
-
seems like a lot of money to spend on shipping, and I have no idea how much the supplies are gonna run for a project of this magnitude.
Looks like I'm gonna have some math to do the next few days.
Short of those two obstacles, I see no reason why this can't happen.
Hope you have fun in Hawaii dude!
Oh yeah, and I'm useless over the phone by the way. I never retain any info that way, and I also never know what to say untill 5 minutes after I've hung up. I'm good face to face, or the written word though (I'll txt you my e-mail tomorrow).
and also, I am not opposed to making the trek out to Cali for a little vacay of my own, if that would make more financial/logisitical sense for this.

so whens the organika video coming out or are you guys just gonna keep doing short one off parts? if there is a video in the works is it on some teamwork deal with DGK and exp-1 or a standalone project?

Yeah, DGK is doing a standalone project and Organika has to get some other things worked out first before we start thinking of a team vid.
Cant wait for the DGK video though, Stevie will have a great part!
-
Karl how did you do Inward Heelflips in Ipath cats?
For that trick the cats didn't effect me. But for certain kickflip tricks it took some time to get used to them. They were the best for tre flips though.

So about that LRG ad i keep seeing on the berrics...I always thought it was pretty funny how the height difference between you and chico changed dramatically. But either way it was a nice ad.
I wonder what it would be like to see you guys filming for that ad when you and chico are both wearing the same gear as your kids. I'd assume it'd be weird because you guys actually resemble your kids quite a lot haha. Do they skate together too?

Yes! It is the best feeling to go thrash with your son! My oldest was really into it for a bit but finds school activities more interesting and challenging. I dont push it on him but deep down inside I'd like him to take it more seriously.
Thats cool you started back up, too. I bet your son loves it!

Dear Karl ,

Hell yeah!! I disowned him after that one!
LOL No way. Quite honestly I've told him in the past that pushing "normal" is more widely excepted than mongo and recommended
he push "normal". But he feels way more comfortable pushing mongo. Im ok with that because I want him to be himself and not to
change who he is because of what other people think.
But i still laugh when I see a guy pushing mongo down the street in full stride. That might never change LOL

I bumped into Quim last week and he too was a really cool dude.. I bump into Karl pretty often here in the Bay and it seems like the whole teams got a positive vibe.

The first time I saw Karl in a video it was a 411, chaos section I think. My friend's TV was messed up like what happens if you put a magnet by the screen, around where the names of the skaters were on the screen. It looked like "Karl Watoon" and I said the name and got laughed at by my friends who already knew what it really was but ever since then we always called him Karl Watoon

2. Walker Ryan mentioned an Apparel push in his TWS Interview by Organika, when will we be able too see some new stuff from that?

Here ya go buddy.
1. My vision of Organika has changed over the years and now we are entering a new faze which you will see unfold within the next couple of years.
2.Yes, we're making clothing now. Pretty stoked on the possibilities. We're keeping it pretty modest in the beginning so certain items will be dropping periodically throughout this year. But 2014 will be a big year for us.
3. Quims for sure! : )
Thanks for your interest in Organika and the questions ;D

I love Ethiopian food. I work with 5 women from Ethiopia and once they found out I liked their food they would regularly bring in lunch for me cooked that morning or the night before. They also have this thing about feeding others where they would occasionally feed you by hand, little weird but who am I to argue.

Wow that adelmo story is really sad man, they had no right to do that shit. I could understand if you were convicted and got sentenced to a term in prison but for a stay of a few hours while your transferring thats bullshit.

Damn, that's pretty fucked. I'm glad he took it so well, it's a testement to his character. In the 70's my old man was a foreign diplomat in Malaysia who has super heavy drug laws, he was in the airport and had 70's disco hair like big jerri curls, the airport police wanted to cut it off because they though he was smuggling drugs in it but legally they couldn't stop him because of diplomatic immunity but they still wanted too so he ends up in a fight with 2 police and thrown in a cell until a judge confirmed they couldn't touch him. His is a funny story but Adelmo Jr's is a matter of religious importance.

He cut his dreads and that was it, huh?? His dreads is what gave him his talent!!! Haha
He wasn't the one who cut them.
DISCLOSED : ADELMO JR (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_C4PgB1HU_c#)
He has a skateshop in Brazil, maybe he's busy with that?

Wow, that sucks. Such bullshit.

Adelmo Jr also rides for Freeday Footwear- a Brazilian skate shoe company. I follow him on instagram - seems like he is living in Brazil

Karl - Total gear nerd question regarding Organika boards...
Been riding the Quim Tapestry 8.25 which I'm completely stoked on but the tail feels a little short for me. It is under 6.5. I want to switch to your board (8.1) in the Sacred Logo series and was curious if the tail was longer.

That is a good question. I'll find out today and private message you the answer. Thank you for the support!

i think Kayo 8.25 boards just have longer noses and small tails. I had a Pepper board that had a long nose and a short tail. Kayo 8.1 boards have a better shape for sure!

Hi Karl!
Hi!! That sounds about right, sir. 8.1 is what I ride. So you guys think we need to make the tails longer?

Thank you Karl. I really appreciate that! I hate sounding like 'that guy', I was just curious bc the tail on my Quim seemed so short for an 8.25 board. If the tails were a little bit longer I would most likely ride Organika boards exclusively, and that's the truth. Huge fan of your company's aesthetic. Everything looks amazing, both the soft goods and hard goods.
EDIT: And since my last post I did order your board in the Sacred Logo series. The 8.1 shape. Looking forward to setting that up.

Haha! Rad!! That day was amazing. I thought Danny was an alien for doing that trick. I've seen some good stuff go down there but PJ Ladd and Wade D were the most impressive to watch shred that spot.
One morning I was skating there alone and then out of know where PJ just skates up. The first trick he did was a switch front shuv to back nosegrind pop out the middle. I was so shocked he did that first try! He pretty much landed every trick he tried that day.

Karl you are the man! Your style and trick selection are the best, your a true role model. Just a quick question about pro skateboarders in general I guess. How much time would you say an average pro skates, Every day, Few times a week? I found it interesting in that documentary about street league there's a section Chris Cole says he hadn't skated in over a week due to being busy with family and other things like that, and he even says sometimes he wishes he was younger again so he could skate more. I just found it interesting seeing how I had always just assumed every pro has all the time in the world. Oh and do you know any pros that hold down jobs as well as skating? Thanks Karl

Yeah, sometimes I feel the same way. Because when you're young with less responsibilities you have so much more time to skate.
Most older skaters have families so that can effect how much time we have on our boards. I personally skate at least 4 days a week. But now is a bit different. Sometimes I have to squeeze in my sessions and usually its a solo mission (which I dont mind)
I know Adrian Williams holds down like 2 or 3 jobs. I held down 1 job for a while when I was on Mad Circle.
Thanks for the love, man! I appreciate it...

Dude, that Woody Harrelson day was incredible. Homeboy came to the Pier in a hemp suit with a fanny pack filled with about 10000 in one hundred dollar bills.
He asked my friend to ride his board and he just cruised around a bit, came back and offered to by it off of him. My friend said yes and thats when he opened up that fanny pack. We had never seen so much money.
But the highlight was watching him skate away.
One of the best days in my life!

I am no longer either. I eat fish, eggs and sometimes cheese. When I was a vegan for 11 years I was very unhealthy. I ate sooo many vegan cookies and cakes lol. And rarely ate my veggies. Because the product said "vegan" I used that as an excuse to over indulge. I eat way better now.

Karl: are you still vegan or vegetarian?
What about you?
ive been on and off between pescatarian to vegetarian and now vegan as an evolving process for over 15 years. diet is a constant evolutionary process that is unique to the individual involved. a recent high blood pressure scare made me rethink my diet, and found the restrictions of a vegan diet would actually benefit me greatly. i feel better than ever, but as i am not much for sweets, i eat a lot of fruit, veggies, and indulge on the vega one shakes (http://myvega.com/product/vega-one-nutritional-shake/ (http://myvega.com/product/vega-one-nutritional-shake/)) which i would recommend to anyone on any diet. i just am always interested in other people that have been veg in the past that might be as neurotic as me when it comes to diet and exercise. thanks for asking! good vibes!!!
my uncle has one of these and i used to go to his house to fill up a couple gallons. i've gone from strictly vegan to damn near only eating meat. these sort of things are hard to balance for me.
I feel that! Our bodies seem to always crave different things. I've eaten small pieces of turkey or chicken here and there but I can't seem to go all the way again. You know whats up with the Alkaline water!
And your sig is simply great!!

Just brought this up last night to Walker!
I was on a tour and saw the video for the first time at a skate shop. As it got towards the end of that section I was thinking to myself "damn, they forgot about me" Then bam! The man himself named the trick and gave me the ultimate props. I felt so much joy I pretty much teared up. Koston showing love was most def one of those memorable moments for me.

I think it'll be all good. But Texas is a whole different animal. Sometimes it just depends on the crew you have. If you decide to bring herb and you end up getting pulled over my advice to you is to just look the cop in the eyes and be very respectful and im sure you wont get searched. Good luck!

Karl, it seems like a lot of Slap wants you to skate the Mega, have you ever been pressured by your peers to do something you didn't want to do or seen it happen to another skater perhaps by their team manager?

I sure have felt the pressure to jump on/down something I didn't want to. Sometimes its a good thing sometimes its not. Pushing your limits is always good im my opinion but when your skill level doesn't match up to what you're skating, the outcome can be bad. Ultimately a little coaxing is healthy and most skaters i've seen never over do it.
Back in middle school I was strongly peer pressured to stop skating. The brothas really didn't understand why I would do such an activity lol
How about you? Have you been pressured to do something you didn't want to?

Ultimately the decision to do anything has been down to me so the pressure element can't be blamed if it turned out bad but if it turned out well I owe it to those who pushed me. Sometimes I wish there were more people pushing me when skating but again I can't blame anyone else but myself for kooking it when skating.
Do you think there is still a perception in the black community that skating is a white boy thing?
Have fun today Karl.

Yes, very true.
Well, the "white boy" thing is still there but I think its been excepted more and more over the years. It never really effected my choice to continue to thrash but I've known dudes to quit skating over it. For some reason i've always know/felt that we're all one race THE HUMAN RACE so I'd just keep doing what i'd do.
Pretty stoked for today though. On an airplane coming back from Make-a-wish and get to celebrate my sons birthday when I get home. Stoked!

I've never been pressured to quit except by a shitty girlfriend of mine; what a cunt.
the niggas around me wouldn't pressure me to quit but they would call me white boy and talk shit or whatever, try and throw sticks and rocks in front of my path when I'm skating by. but i was lucky enough to roll with a crew of homies from different cultural backgrounds. this is early 2000s so skateboarding was pretty accepted though not desirable, but generally people thought of skateboarding as some extreme shit only some crazy ass white dude would do.
i wouldn't let someone pressure me into doing something i didn't wanna do unless i knew it was for my own benefit to give it a shot.
quitting skateboarding would not be for my own good.

Haha I wish I could. But I do not have The Terminator's number. Haven't spoken to Henry in a long time actually. But I'll tell you one thing, that dude was the master of figuring out how to do a new trick. I've seen him create over 20 tricks. And it usually would only take him a few hours to learn each trick. The dude is a great! He's the guy that really helped Lavar become one of the best.
He and I have been through a LOT. We used to be roommates, we traveled to Europe together and got stuck in Germany and i've seen him beat people like no other. But at the end of the day I owe a lot to him. He has a really big heart!
How about I share a positive story about Sanch, aka, "The Terminator", with you guys.
One day, long long ago, I broke my finger. But not just any break.
As I thrashed away at EMB, at the wee age of 13, I tried a feeble grind on a train track that was placed down the stairs. It was early in the morning so I hadn't been warmed up. So I hopped on a feeble and stuck. I started flying and one my fingers decided to land in between two bricks. Usually the concrete between the bricks would prevent breakage, but that place was so beat up and some chipped out. Anyway, my finger got stuck in between two bricks and broke.
I took the bus home and cried the whole way. When I got home I threw my board in the garbage (like a little you know what) and pretty much denounced skating - so I thought... Since the garbage was taken out the next morning I lost that board and I didn't really care.
After about 2 months Henry came to my house, all by himself, and brought me his setup. That kind gesture from such a respected skater truly got me stoked on skating again. Also, living in Tommy Guerrero's old apartment and receiving Rip Grip packages (with his name on them) every month helped the stoke. haha!
Love you for that, Henry

Skating for me was always pretty inclusive. When I started 20 years ago I was so stoked to see another person skating in my town that I'd immediately skate over and try and make friends. I guess at that time I was too young to know there were any division of hip hop skaters and punkers or whatever. I liked it all, yknow? Skate videos were my soundtrack. Gangstarr right into discharge, exploited into Pete rock, I mean it all made perfect sense to me: we were misfits on boards. I wrote mad circle all over my backpack in school right next to "punx not dead"...I was an idiot, but it was cool as fuck. Now when I skate (and probably because I'm an old turd now) it's weird to see the divisiveness. Everyone's got their look, and being spoiled with skateparks they have the luxury to be "a tranny skater" or a "street skater". I mean shit, I'd skate it all, and I still do.
Aside from marketability: why do you think divisions (heshers, tech guys, etc) are so prevalent? Is it just human nature to divide and categorize? Are skaters not the ultra humans I thought they were? Even organika has a niche (that I love and appreciate) but would you ever flow a heshed out tranny skater with an organika tiedye on or is defining your brand a better strategy than a super well rounded crew?
Also, the obligatory "what did you think of nyjahs part?"

In 1998 we went on a US tour with Mad Circle and New Deal. The dude who drove us around had the best music selection and one day on that long journey I was woken up by the beautiful sounds of The Mollusk. Right then, still half asleep, I said "Im using THIS song for my part". So yes indeed that was my choice ;D

dear karl, back in 99 i was skating 3rd and army in green sweatpants w/ cornrows. i felt a little silly [about the hair, i'd been running sweats for at least a yr] and you told me 'nice hair'. i've got 2 questions, first were you making fun of me or did you really think i had nice hair? and second, i know i was after lennie kirk but do you think my attire started both the sweats and white boy cornrows trends? cause i've been claiming that as well as being the first to coin the term 'philly stairs' back in that pre-millenial era. ps i think you have nice hair and i liked those switch flip 5-0 180s you were doing.

dear karl, back in 99 i was skating 3rd and army in green sweatpants w/ cornrows. i felt a little silly [about the hair, i'd been running sweats for at least a yr] and you told me 'nice hair'. i've got 2 questions, first were you making fun of me or did you really think i had nice hair? and second, i know i was after lennie kirk but do you think my attire started both the sweats and white boy cornrows trends? cause i've been claiming that as well as being the first to coin the term 'philly stairs' back in that pre-millenial era. ps i think you have nice hair and i liked those switch flip 5-0 180s you were doing.
WOW! You brought it way back. If I told you I liked your hair I most definitely meant it. Especially the fact that you're a white dude with cornrows. I've always liked when people sway away from whats considered the norm for their "race". Hence me being a black skater.
That was a fun day and there were lots of folks there. I can't remember you too clearly but I do remember doing that trick. Also, WuWelsh created that steez, sorry ;)

Skating for me was always pretty inclusive. When I started 20 years ago I was so stoked to see another person skating in my town that I'd immediately skate over and try and make friends. I guess at that time I was too young to know there were any division of hip hop skaters and punkers or whatever. I liked it all, yknow? Skate videos were my soundtrack. Gangstarr right into discharge, exploited into Pete rock, I mean it all made perfect sense to me: we were misfits on boards. I wrote mad circle all over my backpack in school right next to "punx not dead"...I was an idiot, but it was cool as fuck. Now when I skate (and probably because I'm an old turd now) it's weird to see the divisiveness. Everyone's got their look, and being spoiled with skateparks they have the luxury to be "a tranny skater" or a "street skater". I mean shit, I'd skate it all, and I still do.
Aside from marketability: why do you think divisions (heshers, tech guys, etc) are so prevalent? Is it just human nature to divide and categorize? Are skaters not the ultra humans I thought they were? Even organika has a niche (that I love and appreciate) but would you ever flow a heshed out tranny skater with an organika tiedye on or is defining your brand a better strategy than a super well rounded crew?
Also, the obligatory "what did you think of nyjahs part?"
Karl: you're the best.
Hey bro, my bad on missing your question/comment.
I can relate to everything you said, especially when skating wasn't so divided. Back in the day coming across another skater was truly like seeing a long lost relative. And I most def tried to make friends with any and every skater. With Organika I try to focus on the dudes that know how to talk to the younger skaters and are good at it. Because they fuel skateboarding and without the novices our beautiful art form would face imminent death. So it has more to do with personality that image.
And I loved Nyjahs part ;D

Not to be argumentative but sweatpants not withstanding wasn't Vinnie Ponte the OG white guy with cornrows in the skate game? I say this because I copied it circa 95.
-
you're right that 'new jack of the 90s' vinnie ponte did rock the sweats/cornrows combo but i can't be sure when. i think it was in the part he skated to AC/DC and maybe i didn't see it til later?

Haha!! I met her first. We were never serious, more like friends. I introduced her to the skate world and she ran with it. She worked in the industry for a while, then ended up with a top dog, Mr. Ladd.
From what I heard, he's just as good in bed as he is on his board? LOL Just messin.

Thats crazy you ask that. Just earlier today I saw this guy with dreads and thought to myself "people who don't have our type of hair must think it'd be hard to wash". Anyway, to answer your question, I wash my hair once a week. And they do in fact get in the way sometimes!
Still can't believe Adelmo skated with such long dreads!!

i'm just kidding about the naked part but the rest is true. my question is did you usedta fight during the EMB days? i read somewhere that you would shoot spitballs and that could be precursor to fisticuffs for sure but i've never seen nothing but smiles on your end. remember danny funzuelida switch heelflipped the bike rack/rock gap? i feel like we were all blessed to have witnessed that in person. my buddy almost nollie bs flipped off the bench onto you and he thinks you remember him as 'nollie bs flip guy'. he's a stout little man and wears his shirt to go swimming. do you have any advice about that ie 'stop bein a pussy and take your shirt off' or 'lose some weight so ya won't be self conscious' or anything i can't come up w/? i think it's funny/endearing but it's lame too cause he's that awkward around strangers. even me.

Karl, in the excellent FTC book that came out you admitted to being a little wilder back when you were young and that Kent's dad gave you a foot to the back and you didn't go back for three years. How'd you finally smooth shit over with him? Did that interaction prevent you from getting a tab in the tab book?
Whats up man!
Yeah, that was crazy haha. It actually never got smoothed out. I didn't start going back to FTC until they moved to Haight St.
Although i was a wild kid, I didn't deserve to be banned from their store. Loyd (Kents father) just had it out for me and one day after he literally kicked me out the front window was broken that same night. He thought for sure it was me who did it then I was banded indefinitely. But me and Kent are like brothers so once they moved I was the happiest dude and I was so stoked to be allowed into FTC again :)

By the time I started skating EMB my fighting days were pretty much over. Skateboarding straight up saved my life. I was heading down the wrong path for sure. But spitballing was just fun.
How can I forget that day, man! That switch heel was magical. It seemed like he was super human or something.
But I don't remember the nollie bs flip guy. Sure if I saw him I would recognize him though.
Sucks he has body issues! I used to have some gnarly body issues too but now I prance around butt ass naked at my favorite Hot Springs on the regs haha. Just tell him if he's reps what he has its more attractive than hiding it. I've always had a thing for larger women and when they're confident with themselves its very attractive to me.

Hi Karl,
If you didn't have Organika and Kayo didn't exist, which companies could you see yourself riding for?
Also, what's the situation with your shoe sponsorship? I'd love to see Kayo take control of ipath and rebuild it. It sucks that a brand with ipath's legacy turned to shit.
Please release another video part soon! Even just a short web edit would be great. :D

You know, Im not sure. I've been with Kayo for 15 years now and I couldn't imagine working with anyone else. But if It was my choice and Kayo didn't exist I'd have to the the Girl and Chocolate camp. Love those dudes!
Plans for shoes and footage : )
Yeah, IPath was a great movement back in the day. Sucks that the original crew was dissected, which eventually led the their demise. Without the true leader, Matt Field, they were doomed.
Thanks for the good questions! ;D

Yeah, I've worked with them before. Some very interesting situations to say the least. Everything from going to a mansion for a kids birthday party and skating along side an amazing pool to flying solo to a different state then driving 6 hours to arrive at my destination at 3am. Pretty sucky overall. But still good for making connections. Have fun working with the little ones! Peace

Speaking of Matt field: why doesn't that guy have a board with organika? Thought maybe he was going to do something with elephant but no hippie vibes there: anyway; he's probably down the block doing yoga in the park: Seems like a good fit...I'd buy the board.
Haha!! Im sure he is doing yoga somewhere in Marin! We've spoken about that a while ago but its not a good fit. I love Matt forever though!!

karl, when EMB became clique-y and people who did smiths were 'slash dogs' who exactly are we talking about? like i know jamie thomas was kind of an outsider but were like julien and phelps getting vibed? jim thibeaud? i'm trying to picture these alleged slash dogs, basically wondering if there were any famous ones. i know when i was a kid people separated themselves into different groups contingent on their musical tastes then everyone gets older and has a beer together.

Whats up Karl, i just took a gig with the GOSkate program teaching kids how to shred ,they mentioned you had done some work with them, if its true how did it work out for you? Much Love from TN Karl! cant wait to see some more footy.
I once got paid $150 for a half hour thing at some kid's birthday party. The kids skated for like 10 minutes and were over it, they ran out back and were playing with waterguns, so I just left.
but yeah goskate being "pretty sucky overall" is an understatement

What!! "Slash dog" I haven't heard that in hella long!
Julien and Jim never were vibed at EMB. I'd say a slash dog was someone who was stuck in the 80's doing 80's tricks. Since everything was changing so fast in the early 90's dudes like that seemed like dinosaurs to us.
How'd you hear about this term?

Karl, big fan ;D hah.. Have you ever met the Illusion? :o
-
You know, Im not sure. I've been with Kayo for 15 years now and I couldn't imagine working with anyone else. But if It was my choice and Kayo didn't exist I'd have to the the Girl and Chocolate camp. Love those dudes!
Plans for shoes and footage : )
Yeah, IPath was a great movement back in the day. Sucks that the original crew was dissected, which eventually led the their demise. Without the true leader, Matt Field, they were doomed.
Thanks for the good questions! ;D
Thanks Karl. Good luck with the shoes and I can't wait for the new footage!

Karl, I still have my pair of the I-Path P1, loved the 3rd version and almost got a hold of the P2's when I was in Japan, still wish I could have tried them. Anyhow's here my Question. I know you and Nyjah have been homies since he was a little skate grommit, how did you feel when he cut off his locks, same with Pailes. Do you think since people see them as a trendy hair style that having them nowadays has almost any value in meaning?

Hey hey :o Stoked to be a part of your first post!
I myself liked the P1's better than the P2's, so you didn't miss out : )
When Nyjah cut off his locks I was shocked but I felt it coming. That was a very symbolic move to separate himself from the few negative characteristics his father possessed. I was more shocked when Pailes cut his off though.
You're right though! Wearing locks seems to not carry the same responsibility anymore. When I first started growing some when I was 19 I got tested a lot and was told not to cut them off before the 11 year mark.

Hi Karl,
really psyched on Josh getting on Organika. Felt he was wasted on Think, good job :)
Will Organika drop more clothes for summer? If so, when can we expect them? :)
Thanks,

Hey Karl first off I want to say congrats on Josh Matthews and Eli Reed. Both those dudes kill it and they are a great edition to the team. I heard a while ago you were trying to get one more dude. Who was it, if not wanna throw some hints my way, I'm pretty curious as to who it was/is.

Josh is the sickest! One of my favorite skaters for sure. Very happy to have him on Organika ;D Much respect to Think for what they've done and to the hard working dudes behind Think and Lowcard.
Man, I wish I could show you some of the new stuff! Things are looking good. We're always releasing new product at our flagship store in LA and also on our site.
Thanks for the love!!

Yeah they do! I really happy they're on the team! Will most definitely have separate welcome edits and amazing first graphics : )
About the third? haha? the only clue I can give you is if I said his name i'd piss off a fellow SLAP poster. Not saying any names but I do hope I get him in the future. Matter of fact, spoke to him this evening.
Have a good night and thank you for deciding to pick up a skateboards. Best decision i've ever made.

Karl - is Josh Anderson still riding for you and if so, will we be seeing more from him? Every time I see him skate I get psyched to go ride. He is such an underrated dude with a creative bag of tricks (the wallie late shoves are so good) and a natural style, smooth and effortless. I still keep his Welcome to Organika and TWS parts on repeat.
Keep up the great work Karl. You know I'm always hyped on the direction.

what tws part? u mean mike anderson? i'm a big josh anderson fan but i dont think he has recovered from his last injury very well, he seems to have lost the quickness/lightness that he had before. hoping he comes back properly
also i dont get why fabo is out the question. it'd sell like crazy in the current market. or at least hire the guy who did the graphics or something.

Ice - this is the Josh TWS Part - it's a few years old...more of an edit than a part I guess. And I didn't know he got hurt. That's a bummer to hear. Hoping for a full recovery. Such an underrated cat:

2) where would you expect your clips to land up in the youtube gangsta vs punk skater videos (youre actually in one, ill tell you if your guess is right)
3) ever think of trying to get biebel back? he used to rep it hard.
4) what would you say to your kids if they wanted to join the military? i picture you being like furious styles and telling them theres no place for them in the white mans army.
5) how did you do in school?
6) are you a rasta, or have you ever owned a glow in the dark weed poster or hackey sack.
7) was the ipath cats the best shoe ever?
8) favorite trucks of all time? venture featherlites??
9) how do you stop them before they get you?
10) favorite drug other than weed.
