It's rad that he has that many boards.As a person who is picky about shapes I can understand the excess of completes

well its easy to have a crazy amount of completes when you don't live too far from where its being made/being sponsored by the best companies.  But still that amount of boards is crazy and pretty cool.  Its gotta be awesome to have them send you uncut wood to shape yourself for free.

I have three setups and would love to add to it. I've had countless setups and cruisers go missing in the past couple of years, but I probably have had about a solid twelve. I fully support Willis' choice to have this many boards. Each board has a purpose

The slalom bit made me laugh:

"I won't deny it, I back slalom a little bit. If I'm gonna have 20 boards, I've got to have at least one slalom board. Technically I'm the reigning World Skater Cross Champion of slalom [laughs]? I was super broke. I was living with Gravette. I hitch hike down to this race. I rode my normal board, I didn't even ride a slalom board. They had all these jump kicker ramps and cones. It was the weirdest track. I ended up winning it. I won five grand and I got this six-foot tall trophy and it says I'm world champ and shit [laughs]. It was one of the best days of my life and it slalom so fuck it, I got a slalom board.? - Willis Kimbel

the word jealousy does not begin to describe.
Man the long board truck thing killed indy for me. I was willing to set aside the racism, but long boarding, gtfo... - DH
