Televised skater interviews that you still think about.

[chaunceypeppertooth]

What are your favorite televised skater interview moments that you still think about late at night? That haunt you? That you find yourself referencing in conversation and nobody knows what you're talking about? For example, Shaun White's, 'I'm talkin' bout Mountain Dew, baby', and the Jefferson's 'We LOVE ESPN'.

I was in Seattle skating around the needle and a news crew interviewed me about our trip and skating in general. The piece was labeled “Skateboarding Studs in Seattle”. I can’t find the video, there’s a screenshot somewhere on IG (this was about 10 years ago). I feel haunted every time I remember it.

Not televised but I think about that one girls YouTube interview with Alex Olson every now and then.

This is the only interview that is burnt into my brain

I always think about this one with Larry, Phelps and Josh Matlock.

Absolute classic. My friends and I used to watch this all the time and still use the term "so pitted" to describe getting smoked while skating. The remix used to get put on repeat as well

This one, starts at 3:47:




Its in Swedish, but basically - was a contest in my local park, Ali Boulala and others was there and the contest was really fun. DIY style and really rowdy, and it was shown on swedish national TV. The interview is both Pontus Alv and a local skate legend Magnus, and it goes forth and between them, and basically Pontus is super-negative complaining about just about everything the speaker, judges and what not, and the local skater is super hyped, talking about how fun it is and that it doesnt have to be super serious all the time. Legendary clip that really shows Pontus real side

there was an episode of bluetorch that covered a contest in socal that rowley won

when he was interviewed the host asked if it was taxing to skate out in the sun by the beach

rowley in his lovely bri ish voice replied "taxin? wuz that?"

I watched a Chloe sls interview a few weeks ago, and she started it off with “for me it’s crazy like” and that’s been stuck in my head.

“…It’s making them get frustrated mentally instead of physically…”

Early Yuto SLS post-win interviews were pretty bangin’ in the beginning.

But for really-yo: hearing Kenny Anderson talk on The Sixth Sense always was soothing and made me want to go skate.

Not an interview but one ESPN style tv host consistently said "Steve Cambalaberro" during a televised vert contest in the early 90s.

One of my buddies taped it and we used to watch it at his house (real  skate videos were hard to get back then).

Many years later we would still say stuff like "New shoes? Hmm nice Half-Cambalaberros!"

Cero

[Paul Cicero]

Not on TV, but Heath at some transworld thing saying “this is what we live for” or something like that when asked about being nominated for an award.

Early 00s Paul Machnau was supposed to be on "The Panel" (late night comedy talk show) but then rather than go on the actual show he just lipslid a handrail in a corridor on live tv

I think about the time Chad Fernandez was on Good Morning America to set the Guinness world record for longest grind - which was on a flatbar that was 24-30 feet long.

I still think “I could have done that.”
