seemed like a good follow-up, and he's down, so bring 'em on for Mr. Philadelphia himself, Ricky Oyola! Lots of history to tap into here...
Yo Ricky, first question right here: where'd the term "piss-pedaling" come from?
-
Do you still skate and film with Dan Wolfe?
-
Do you have a method to finding spots? Or is it just random?
-
Where is Matt Reason?
How is Traffic doing?
Gnarliest thing you saw at LOVE?
-
Worst slam you've had?
-
When are you fools coming back up to skate lair for a hartford session? It's been a while.
-
When are you going to bring Deshi to the east coast?
-
Why did you try to ban Josh Kalis from Love?
-

-
who is your favorite n-word skater?
-
Fuck man... You have been one of my favorites since I started. I don't know too much about you off the board, your skating and style speaks for itself.
When is Rich Adler gonna get his name on a board?
Heard anything from Matt Reason recently?
-
do you dislike any pros for the sole reason of them not skating unique/interesting spots?
-
Whats the craziest trick on the most hairball spot you've ever witnessed in person? Filmed or otherwise.
Got any good Lennie Kirk stories?
-
Talk some shit on people who talk some shit on you here.
I liked that you had a nollie 'tre' (that's Spanish) in a line in your 60 seconds or whatevs from Vox, it shows you can skate flat and win a freestyle contest, do you like the Sal 23 to skate in?
-
When is Rich Adler gonna get his name on a board?
-
Ricky, how'd the whole pool stick to the dome, locked up in Australia thing go down. Were you shook to be locked up abroad at all? Metallica and switch shiftys for life!
-
Is the "Kalis not being able to get out of the alien van in philly or you'd hurt him" story true?
Not trying to be a dick.
-
Why is skateboarding so tight?
-
First of all ricky, you truly inspired my skateboarding from so early on while i was stuck in a hick town in the middle of washington state in the mid 90's, so thanks for that.
1.how freaked out were you that you almost went to prison/jail in australia for a fight? what happened exactly?
2.If you could cherry pick any 3 skaters for traffic from there respectful teams or bring them back from obscurity who would it be and why?
3.If dan wolfe would have never started filming what level of exposure would the east have ever have gotten (if any) and were there any other filmers you would hook up with back then that could have had a similar impact on your scene?
4.how did you end up riding for z roller?
thanks for your time rick.
-
you gonna be buying J Rogers new mix tape?
-
Can you tell us about Roger Brown and the early days at LOVE?
I saw some of your never ending lines that ran across the street to City Hall and Municipal, back into LOVE, can you remember the sequence of some of these marathons.
Can you tell us if you ever had a favorite line at LOVE? Whether it was the hardest to work for or the best feeling flow line?
What can you tell us about the Acme video and that time period? All I can kind of remember is you and Reason skating a subway 10? set?
Any hometown or unsung heroes growing up who influenced your style, tricks, speed?
Thanks for the inspiration.
-
what happened to serge trudnowski?
-
whats the gayest thing youve ever done?
-
you're getting up there in age...do you think static II will be your last full video part? even so, it sure kept your career going for 5+ years which is pretty unusual for the ADD industry.
what was it like when the think/thrasher crew came through philly in 94? I always imagined that to have been such a great time, it seemed like you guys were doing what every other skateboarder would have been doing. do you think the industry's changed so much that a tour stop like that couldn't really go down anymore? it'd be cool if you could talk about some experiences with mike hernandez and hamilton harris as well.
-
On a scale from 1 to 10 how RAW are you??
And any words on Dan Plunkett leaving Traffic for Skate Mental?
-
what happened to serge trudnowski?
I miss First Division :(
-
Someone told me recently that you had sold traffic, and now have a non-skateboard related job. Any truth to this?
-
When is too cold to skate?
-
Tell us about the incident at EMB with Jovantae Turner
-
Do you get bummed when you see footage of people skating spots you skated first?
Did you know that you are constantly brought up on this message board, mostly in the context of "If it isn't Ricky Oyola skating a cellar door you guys hate on it" ? What do you think about the fact that some of the most notorious rather-go-on-the-internet-than-skate nerds think you are cool?
-
You miss the new deal days? Or were they a joke?
How did it feel to get a krooked board?
How amazing is buffalo for sk8ing?
Before traffic or even now, you get offers to ride for other companies?
-
were the two long lines in your 411 profile improvised or did you have all the tricks premeditated?
whats the deal with traffic and aaron szott?
still got any old z-rollers?
-
Tell us about Jaime Thomas at Love fifteen years ago, I'd love to hear what really went down from someone who was actually there.
-
yo ricky, i also asked this question to lance mountain, but what is your best fully flared style combo move?
-
which flip trick do you have the most fun doing? how did u get so good at pushing switch?
-
What cities do you think have the strongest scenes?
If you had to live in a city other than Philly, what would you pick?
You spend a lot of time in Atlanta, what sparked this and who do you skate with when you're here?
When you were filming for Underachievers, did you know it would have the impact that it would?
What's a recent video that you're stoked on? What do you watch before skating?
And I really hate to fan out but I have to mention that you've been one of my favorite skaters for a few years now, I think I've watched Underachievers more times than I can count.
-
Describe your Love Park crew? any traffic tours happening?
-
where can the best cheesesteak in philly be found?
-
cocaine blunts--yea or nay
-
Any regrets regarding sponsor decisions?
-
Who ollied the LOVE gap first, Choppy Omega or Vinnie Ponte?
-
What video part makes you still want to go out and skate today?
more: What's with the Puleo and Josh Stewart beef? Sorry if this sounds ignorant.
-
Your "Push" shoe from Vox is my all time favorite, especially the 76ers color way. How did you get hooked up with that crew and what sort of Oyola sneaks can we expect in the future?
-
Pat's or Gino's?
Is it true that Traffic won't use any footage that involves shorts or bondo?
-
What are your thougths on what Kalis said about running into serge trudnowski in SF and him not doing shit when he saw kalis?
-
is philly still good for skating?
-
Are you banned from Australia? Does that carry over to the other countries of the Crown?
What trick were you going to do on the bench that the people were sitting on in the 411 Metrospective? The nollie 180 and switch flip were tight, though.
Is Traffic backing Bobby Puleo's Greatest Misses? Is that ever going to happen?
-
is philly still good for skating?
yes.
-
Can you explain the story of you kicking the shit out of that bum at Love at the end of the Sub-Zero video?
-
Yo Ricky, dis ya boy nickdagger and I gotS ta know:

Which skaters really "grind your gears"?
Peace, respect.
-ND
-
ricky,
what's the most talked about conspiracy theory between you and bobby?
what's your favorite board graphic?
who can ollie higher, nick or henry panza?
how's the day to day going in philly right now (with the wife and kids and such)? i hope well.
**bonus** any story that you'd like to set straight?
you've been a constant inspiration to me since the first days of east coast videos. stoked that you're still killing it as hard as you do. thanks for the history as well as the present.
k
-
in you opinion who was killing in the mid/late 90's and what was your favorite part from them.
-
How high can you ollie?
-
how did you feel when silas pulled that bouch-ride(wallride hippie jump)? have you heard from mike bouchard lately? last i heard he was a truck driver.
-
whats your take on ipath, you got one dude one traffic riding for them still but another got kicked to the curb. I know you said 'the new ipath is shitty' in your 48 blocks interview, but how do you feel about bobby getting kicked off while jack gets to stay now that its been close to two years?
when was the last time you took a trip out to southern california to get photos/footage? could you explain what it means to you to be a guy who chose to stick it out in phiily and get coverage locally on the east coast as opposed to people who leave the east for california?
what music have you always been feeling? any hip hop, or are you stuck on hard rock?
sorry about the continued questions, I just feel like you're one of the more interesting dudes in skateboarding and I don't wanna pass this shit up!
-
When's the last time you skated Jersey?
And yea, when is Traffic gunna do a tour? even if it is just a small east coast tour.
Who have you been skating/filming with lately?
Are there any job openings at Traffic?
-
Who is your favorite left handed skater?
-
In your traffic part in Via i have always wondered was that just some abandoned smashed car or was it your friends? and what went through your mind to Ollie onto the car hood?
-
I once heard you found a spot in Philly that was at a bar in the extreme ghetto, Like no one was fucking with it. I heard you walked in and just straight up played the dudes in pool and chilled with them for a bit. Then they let you and Rich skate it, I think the spot he gaps over the bump to bar to crook down the other rail on the opposite side.(in VIA) Then you told those guys to kick out anyone unless they weren't with you....If this is true it's amazing. Can you please tell that story?
-
Why is it mandatory for people from the east coast to talk down on anywhere that's not the east coast every chance they get. Also, why don't people from the east want to actually learn tricks? Do you guys enjoy sucking at skateboarding?
-
Ricky,
Would you pay to view the sex abuse tape that COTG's father made with him before he ran out on his family, if I granted you pedo-immunity, ensuring the experience would be for informational and entertainment purposes only, rather than sexual gratification?
Your fan,
Chris Hansen.
-
how sad are you about the phillies losing the world series? who's your favorite player? :P
ricky, have you ever confused damian smith for gumby
ohhh... "wheres ryan gee"
im gonna let you finish but bobby puleo is one of the most creative street skaters of ALL TIME!
"rikki, do u think ba will 'come out of the clozzie'?"
-
what happened to illuminati/silverstar?
i realize they were basically the same company, but which one did you prefer?
-
Explain your side of "Z-Roller Ricky".
-
what are you going to do after this interview?
-
Dear The Ricky,
Please answer/respond to the last 8 or so posts on this page if you want to have a great plapsquestion, easily top 3 thus far if you do. Have a drink and a smoke if you can beforehand because even if you don't want to, you should.
Sincerely,
MS
-
you and kalis in a fight. who'd win?
-
and would exactly happened withplunkett bouncing off traffic and going to skate mental?
-
Do you advertise in thrasher for el traffico? Are you in the oh yeah jakes ok bandwagon? Who are your other sponsors, do you get free swiss bones bearings or clothing from someone?
-
How did Traffic come about? How did you pick the team riders, because they all our extremely talented and unique compared to the other skaters out there...
-
seems like you and the whole traffic crew really were feeling the vibe of the scene in japan; that eventhough the end result of the skating from a distance looks a bit different that the attitude and approach to skating was the same and that this was a common thread that appealed to guys from both sides of the ocean. if that's an accurate description of what you found, have you come accross other scenes where you feel the vibe is similar to what traffic is putting out there?
-
alright, ricky has the questions and is starting to go through everything. the plan is to do the interview this week and try to get it edited and up next week...
ricky also clued me in about two other media projects he has coming up in the next bit, so it should be a good stretch of months ahead for oyola fans.
-
Do you have tunnel vision or don't get along with many people? So much talent on the east coast yet your Traffic roster is trash. Admit it, your Traffic video sucked. Bobby Puleo...seriously you're regular for paying him.
Why don't you just give up... Your shit don't have pop and you're doing the same shit since 1996.

"Your shit don't have pop"....AHAHAHHAH What are you a 14 year old who buys Shortys boards? How is their team trash?
-
just got off the phone with ricky, he picked his questions and filmed his answers last night, and will be sending the footy out today. obviously i haven't seen it yet but from his account it's going to be heavy- multiple tapes worth of footage and no holds barred on his answers (though he didn't answer every question). might take a minute to pull together, but we'll get it ready asap...
-
How much longerrrrrrrrrrrrrr?
-
not much. hopefully tomorrow it'll start. we're working on it right now. multi-part-- he sent a lot of reply footage...
-
