Post by: hot wax on August 22, 2006, 06:11:58 PM
most pros/ams me and you have met are pretty cool people, but i want to know what pros/ams youve met that turned out to be complete fuckers. This will get interesting.

(also explain what made them fuckers/what they did)

sheckler was kind of a jerk but it was understandable as everyone was giving him a hard time.  or "vibing" him, if you will.  yeah when he landed that fs flip kinda sketchy and looked at me for re-assurance, i stared through him like he was made of glass.  then he kickflipped indy'd 17 decks or something out of the bowl.

i met danny renaud at a sushi demo, he seemed pretty damn nice and talkative.  and chris cole always used to be at the x-games park in philly, and was never a dick to anyone there.  i'm sure they all have their mood swings though.

So we're talking about people who are dicks all the time or when people be bugging the hell out of them?  If it's the second one then 9 out of 10 people would be guilty.  Any kid who's asking 20 questions when you're trying to skate is either going to get ignored or vibed eventually. 

No appreciation for the people who are anti-social, screaming, board-throwing, vibing crybabies everytime you see them no matter what.

This thread is fucking regular considering nobody is giving the circumstances surrounding their "vibes" with said skaters.  I've met PJ, P-Rod, and Lenoce, and I mean MET met them, not some lame crap like saying hi to them while they're at a demo or something.  Not fucking "hey dude ur like the best skater omg" awkward moment.  No skater I've met has been an ass. 

If you come up to them like some weirdo fanboy, then yes, they're going to "vibe" you.  If you approach them like they're just another guy at the spot, then they actually treat you like a decent person.

This thread is fucking regular considering nobody is giving the circumstances surrounding their "vibes" with said skaters.  I've met PJ, P-Rod, and Lenoce, and I mean MET met them, not some lame crap like saying hi to them while they're at a demo or something.  Not fucking "hey dude ur like the best skater omg" awkward moment.  No skater I've met has been an ass. 

If you come up to them like some weirdo fanboy, then yes, they're going to "vibe" you.  If you approach them like they're just another guy at the spot, then they actually treat you like a decent person.
pj was a really bad viber. he was at the coliseum in the middle of a giant snow storm and some kid who was talking to his friends said " damn i wish we could skate" and pj started bitching at him with such lines as "why dont you go do something about it" i lost respect for him after that
i said weirdo because on other instances he would come in with all of his flip boards and line up EVERY girl/choco. board to the door and see which ones he liked and traded, other times he would just leave boxes of shoes there too

Kenny Hughes....what a fucking cock.

I was late too a Zoo York demo at southside one time, got there around 4:30 or something and it was already over. I remember seeing a bunch of disappionted looking kids and everyone was complaining that the only person who really skated was Jarred B. Well out in the parking lot Kenny and Clyde were walking around like arrogant dicks with a mega phone and no shirt blinging the scars and just saying really arrogant shit through the mega phone everytime some kid would approach them and ask a question. I am not sure if that is asshole or just stupid but to me acting like an arrogant ass when you don't even skate hard enough to show up the locals is a bit off.

whatever man kerry getz is a good friend of mine, so if you would like me to pass a message on to him, please let me know. and i thought we were teaming up against fuckingvegan...what kinda shit is this?

You're acting like a name dropping faggot. Even if you do chill with pro's no one is going to care if you act like a doosh. Lot's of people on the board know or chill with pros and more importantly lots of people on here can skate, most likely way better than you. So just get over it.

Ok...hows this. I was at a Zoo demo last year in the Chicago burbs, and I watched Kenny walk up the the concession stand and ask for a drink. As the kid turned to get him his beverage of choice, Mr. Hughes followed up with his selection by saying, "...and hurry the fuck up about it". You might read the context of this and assume Kenny was kidding, but I was standing 5ft from him, and I assure you he wasn't. Weirdo fanboy? Fuck that, I could give a shit about being friends with a pro....I got enough fucking friends.

just eldridge & chris roberts were being bf/bf and got stoked when someone gave them a bong to sign.
I never thought of that. That would be the tightest bong ever, well almost. I might buy one and start collecting autographs on it. I never have gotten autographs before but a tagged up bong would be worth looking like a douche for.

i have met and or chilled with most pros and ams around philly about 3-5 years ago when philly was off the hook

Rick Oyola- one of the nicest skaters ever, i was skating at city hall and he was the only other person there, talked to me and was real cool and then we skated thru traffic to this basement bank to steps and we met kelly ryan there (i think it was him not sure?) and he shot photos for  a little bit, i was sooo fucking pissed a had to be at work at 8 pm and had to leave to catch the train like 20mins after we got there


Steve- mad cool and down to earth, smoked more than a couple ls with him and he just seemed like a quiet guy, i also used to chill with hill, sun and rasul (dude in the reason intro to stevies part) who are steves peoples and the og dgk, and he def shows them mad love and never forgot about them. J-sun is mad cool we smoked like 3 viles of pcp (wet) this past june and were just wanderin around south phila fuckin dusted it was crazy, oh and he used to absolutely kill it at love with such ease everything done in a try or two


Kalis- I used to think he was the biggest homo when i was younger but he is actually pretty cool and will talk any little kids ear off about anything, when i was 15 he told me rick mccrank was garbage lol and had the worst style ever along with james craig, he told me there isnt shit to skate in la except schoolyards, and daewon is the truth in real life, also about 3 months before seek started he told me and my friend about it

wenning- cool as hell

pops- quiet, shy, and a bit strange but hes just doin his own thing, my old homie dave grew up with him and wenning in north jers so we chilled a couple times, pops talked to me about weed one day when i was smoking at love and he said he didnt wanna smoke but wanted to make weed brownies and try them, he also said he liked to get drunk late at night and cruise the city

german nieves- ehhhhhh

jack sabback- this guy has got to be the coolest motherfucker out of philly

getz- never talked to him once ever but he isnt the asshole everyone makes him out to be and is real consistent

fred gall- fellow stoner cool as shit

danny renaud- came very close to getting rolled on more than couple times, fucking ego tripping little bitch, he would make shrieking noises when he didnt land tricks lol, i was a broke as 17 year old and he would chill with us and when people would ask him for smokes he would be like get the fuck out of here and buy a pack, when dude was a guest in the city and flossing all his little bullshit sect checks

pat corcran- thats my dude right there, i could easily see why some people dont like him but thats my homie, we were at a party in upper darby once and this girls mom starts screaming kickin us all out cuz he was gettin head from her young ass daughter lol, o and aws gave him a raw deal they were payin pluhowski and not him, we also used to fuck with the same smut jawn lol, the first girl that ever gave me head

pluhowski- lol fuck that guy

o-conner- exactly what ud expect

ian reid- cool peoples

Yeah i can vouch for that met him at Radlands in like 95 (or whenever Penny kicked everyones asses) but yeah mellow as fuck, he was looking for some pot, we hooked him up and he chilled in the van we had for a while - so funny, he'd been pro for like 3 days or something stupid like that and Workshop just sent him off alone to Europe, no one showing him around, no one met him at the airport nothing - fucking funny, really mellow guy though

I got pretty wasted with Sheffy, he was sitting beside me and i passed him a joint thinking it was a mate (i hadn't actually turned to see who was there) and it's Sheffy, he just laughed and said "Didn't expect me, huh ?" which was true, chilled with him really mellow as well

yea i didn't say i never left love. i met ricky at love in 97 and i skated with him a lot for like 2 years but as i said, at the end of my stay i was closer with wenning and ian reid and them. ian reid wasn't in philly much but i mentioned him cuz hes someone you should know. he started showing up quite a bit in 2000 tho and thats when i became close with him. if you don't know the 2 other locals you obviously didn't know that many people in philly. they were always at love and city hall during that time.

i used to skate at the little venice circle park for like three years straight. it's pretty shitty but a cool place to meet up with your friends, figure out what you are going to do that day, scan for hot girls etc. basic warm up/ end of the day spot.

aaron snyder rolls up with his filmer and they both start acting like fags. after cutting off some local, aaron gets pissed and makes the unfortunate mistake of saying "all people who chill at venice are fags". certain people didn't like that. i never saw him at the spot again.

that was a couple years ago, i dont know what his status is now but i'm pretty sure him and his faggot filmer were banned for the time being.

on the other side of the spectrum, brian wenning came out to LA with a habitat am (steve durante?)  for a week and stayed with a mutual friend who lived close. he skated at venice, courthouse, sand gaps and john adams the whole time with us and was cool as hell. one of the nicest, most down to earth people i've ever met.

it's funny how someone like brian wenning, a living legend, can be nice as hell while some second rate dude like snyder can act like a hard ass primadonna bitch.


(also chris roberts and brezinski are super cool, regular ass dudes who just like to skate)

The coolest pros Ive ever met were Neal Mims, Duffy, Kareem, MJ, and Chad Knight. Most pros are pretty cool, but those were some of the chillest and nicest dudes ive ever met in my life. Smolik was also pretty cool when he was blowing up. He dealt pretty wee with the hordes of kids following him around.
The biggest dick was Tyrone Olson, not that it matters cuz noone really took him seriously anyways.

one time i saw clyde yelling at little kids at the skatepark going "oh wow 'look at me' i ain't lookin at you'" blah blah so-on as if some little kids even knew who the guy was.  it's not like he was skating anywhere on even a sponsored level.  he got pissed off and threw gatorade on the ground because he couldn't skate, walked to his car, threw his skateboard at it, it bounced back and nailed him in the knee which totally set him off screaming.  it was pretty hilarious.  but, i've seen him be total casual-guy and be cool to be around also so, whatever.

They were the guys who actually came talk to us and asked some shit. Dill looked pretty heinous and didn't skate or say anything but Janoski and the other heads were like normal skate rats..or actually even friendlier... Better remember me in the credits Greg Hunt buhahah!!

reda ain't a fucking asshole. hes fucking dope and while were at it meza is cool as shit too he invited me to to street skating with the girl team.

Coco showed up at my house when I lived in SF and skated the mini ramp (we use to have jams once a week) no one knew who he was myself included because he was cracked out looking, sketchy but land some sick stuff, it was only after he took his shirt off and I saw the Real tat that I knew who he was.

don't get in bastien salablanzi's way or he might throw his shoes at you!  paul machnau can be a complete dickhead when he's in his "zone", don't get in his way either.  wenning is shy so that can come off as being rude.  tim o'connor hands down is the nicest and most hilarious person in the world.  i love tim.  appleyard will sit and chat with you cause he's down.  jake rupp came to winnipeg for a demo and sat on his ass.  i asked him about it and he said because he was "too faded".  at least he's honest. i seen lenny rivas tell a group of non-skaters to "go away" when he was skatin MACBA.  thats a little wierd if you ask me.  keagan sauder was nice to me but i heard he was an ass to other people.  sheldon meleshinski was bummed when my friend yelled "hey that guy has 1 eye!!"  then later he got my number from someone and prank-called me when he was wasted.  and omar salazar doesn;t know what koulbasa is.

Not that he skates but "Jeru" did a gig here and was the biggest dick ever, the stage was really low and he go beer spilt on him, so told us "If this was Brooklyn you get shot for less" - he stopped the gig to say that - everyone started laughing at him, then he got bottled off the stage after another "tantrum" and stopped the gig to have a moody

He was outside and no one was noticing him (more like just slagging the fuck out of him for being such a dick) and my girl and her sister were standing beside him (it was raining, i mean it's fucking Scotland when's it not) in this door way, so he starts touching up my chick, like really badly, so her and her sister are like "what the fuck are you doing" - so he comes up with all this shit about it being an "accident" then invites them back to his hotel, this is just so funny, he's going on about all the booze and weed he's got there - this is where i turn and say "yeah cool, i'll just get the rest of us and it's on" show him my rucksack (which has a "party pack" most rappers couldn't even begin to rap about) and tell him it's on.

But he say i'm not invited, i explain his is my lady and her sister and they're staying at mine, he can come if he wants, but no dickishness

So more Jeru bullshit, follows he then starts calling my chick and her sister "his bitches" obviously not noticing my lady hugging me, her and her sister might as well be twins as well, he starts giving me shit about how i'm going to get "shot" there's a little crowd around us now - everyone's looking at me speaking to Jeru, this is where shit got funny

I pointed out he's in "Aberdeen - NOT Brooklyn, we don't have gun's or HIS crew, but i've got a bottle of Rum i can take off his head, and my "crew" are all around him, but i dont' need a crew, or a bottle of Rum if he's interested ?"

He goes to call my lady "his bitches" again, then his manager steps in, as i start to go off on him, the then gets heckled to fuck for being such an arse and him and his "entourage" run off up the street while having chippers/kebabs/pizze thrown at him, he actually turned to point his finger like a gun as a bottle smashed at his feet - he shit his fucking pants

Jeru's not coming back, his gig was shit, he's shit, he was one of my favourites, but he's the biggest dick i've ever met, seriously if he did come back and act like that again, i'd fuckign smack the shit out of him, he's fucking tiny as well, he must have shit it when the whitest person he's ever seen in his life offered to "upside his head with a fucking bottle of Morgan's"

My friend arranged the gig as well and couldn't stop goign on about how much of a dick he was during/before/after the show, he got plenty of hate in Edinburgh the next night for being a dick as well

I lost all respect for what i thought was one of the best "rappers", that has to be my best bit of "you really are a fucking arse!"

I kept asking him if he was fucking joking or just stupid - "This is my GIRLFRIEND and this is HER SISTER - these aren't your BITCHES and they aren't interested in the threesome you're having - it's just you and both your hands you fucking twat. . ."

I actually hate him now - rant over !

If it you makes you feel any better, at a jeru show here in san francisco a few weeks ago, someone jumped up on stage and clocked him one.   Guess he had shown someone the same type of disrespect here before.

That's fucking classic, were you at the show, he's a complete arse, i've got a few DJ mates who play for some big record labels and they all hate Jeru, his time came and went and he's all bitter about it - hahahaha

Anything that little shit does - hate wise - he brings himself, every other rapper i've meet has been cool as fuck, some more mellow/humble than other, some super professional, Jeru was like a spoilt kid

The funniest Gig i've been to was in Glasgow like, God a LONG time ago, House of Pain were playing (i hadn't gone to see them - seriously i hadn't) but Everlast was trying to fight the crowd, and giving it all this Catholic/Protistant shit (which you don't do in Glasgow, it would be like doing it in Ireland) and this guy got on stage and beat the shit out of him infront of everyone, the crowd was laughing like fuck - so funny

Everlast stopped the set and then tried to have a boxing match with the guy, who just fucking beat the shit out of him agian, then the bouncers grabbed the guy and Everlast started smacking him, then a bouncer smacked holding the guy, just started smacking Everlast, fucking riot on stage, totally fucked, then they got boooed of stage for being shit and starting a Protistant/Catholic riot - something that shouldn't be involved in hip-hop

Anyway, they didn't/were't back in Glasgow or Scotland for sometime after that, although Mugg's played in Aberdeen adn remember about Everlast getting battered, which i though was funny as fuck

That;s pretty harsh there Vegan !

Just due to one bad Big Brother interview, where they actually admitted trying to start some racial slur on him, a joke that even in Big Brothers view was a "little" extreme his career has been shit stained, ok his clothing is a bit "out there"  but fuck look at the other side of it, none of the big t dudes are getting that much shit for wearing MASSIVE clothes, i mean what the fuck do they really think they're going to grow up to be 9ft tall and 6 foot wide ?

No i doubt it - fuck it's fashion

If anyone has read his Big Brother interview they'll actually have the full story on "why" AND "if" he's racist - a magazine known for causing shit "for a joke" did the interview and no one seems to take that on board while giving him shit

Donnie, you're right there.  I'm not into his skating or dress sense, but fair is fair.  That interview had the industry up in arms in such a fake, pretentious and oh-my-aren't-we-so-progessive stand against racism, it was just embarassing.  Anybody who's actually read it will know what the deal is.  In fairness to him, he then put out 3 or 4 interviews in all the main mags in the space of the next two years and did pretty well considering the blackballing.

It's just fucking boring about the shit he's getting for something "Big Brother" did to everyone in there mag that was about 7 years ago, i'm stoked that he's made it and didn't let them kill his career

The whole thing with Big Bro was taking the piss - Jared Berry being asked about skating in assless chaps and if he liked "pollies" and "lip slides" the black issue, the brown issue, the yellow issue (isn't that racist - shouldn't it be be the ASIAN issue), it's a joke that went to far adn it's so fucking boring now it's amazing

On a hip-hop related note:

Back in 1995, the Wu-Tang Clan were promoted to play the "Island" nightclub, in Ilford, Essex. Basically, leading up to the gig, there was mass hype over the radio and on posters, announcing that the WHOLE clan were going to be at the venue, it was an exclusive event etc. Anyway, on the night, the club was packed with people patiently waiting for the Wu to come onstage...and...you guessed it....they didn't turn up! Old Dirty' came out on stage (the only member of the clan to show up) and the place just erupted. There was a huge riot, the local kids jumped the stage and behind the bars, stealing champagne, wine and anything else they could get their hands on, and the police couldn't do a thing!

Ol' Dirty shuffled offstage, and my friend, who was covering the event for Rapsheet, claimed to see Ol' Dirty CRYING as he walked off to his dressing room..

Fucking classic, man that's the same year i think they were supposed to play Glasgow and guess what - 4 hours before the gig cancelled !

I've still got the tickets at home somewhere, i was supposed to go with 3 other poeple, called the Barrowlands - "The Wu playing ?"

"Not sure - call back" - this for about 2 days
"The Wu playing ?"
"No they cancelled - send the tickets back and we'll refund you or keep them and they're playing in 2 months"

They never played, centimental value or some pish on keeping the tickets

Remember then they launched there second album (which wasn't that good) and Timmy had them on the show and ODB was pissed and ranting going fucking off that was so funny Timmy trying not to let them swear - classic

Don't forget Candian men/woman hookers

I've never met him and don't really care one way or the other but my point was that interview was a LONG time ago and it was from a notorious slanderous magazine that was out to get there claws into anything they could - they were fucking funny though.

Yeah, hip-hop artists were/are notorious for not showing up/turning up late.

A few more classics:

During a gig in London, Keith Murray stagedived with 2,000 US dollars in his pockets.

Onyx gig circa 1995 - huge riot, police dogs savaged girls, hip-hop heads attacked by the police.

Redman show in Birmingham, gun let off.

Westwood show at the Notting Hill Carnival in 1997 (I went to this actually!) - some tourist was blown away.

But fuck it, you have got to enjoy rap all the same.

Donnie, you're right there.  I'm not into his skating or dress sense, but fair is fair.  That interview had the industry up in arms in such a fake, pretentious and oh-my-aren't-we-so-progessive stand against racism, it was just embarassing.  Anybody who's actually read it will know what the deal is.  In fairness to him, he then put out 3 or 4 interviews in all the main mags in the space of the next two years and did pretty well considering the blackballing.

Haha, top notch shut down!

- Classic quote hahaha

But yeah he had a Thrasher interview the next month say how "Big Brother" were basically out to destroy him, i'm not into what he wears, or his skate style, but he fucking kills it when he's skating, you can't really knock him for hammer time when it comes down to it

It's just fucking boring about the shit he's getting for something "Big Brother" did to everyone in there mag that was about 7 years ago, i'm stoked that he's made it and didn't let them kill his career

The whole thing with Big Bro was taking the piss - Jared Berry being asked about skating in assless chaps and if he liked "pollies" and "lip slides" the black issue, the brown issue, the yellow issue (isn't that racist - shouldn't it be be the ASIAN issue), it's a joke that went to far adn it's so fucking boring now it's amazing

I have heard with my own ears Duffel say some racist ass shit at  a contest since that interview came out forever ago .Dude has not changed ...sure he is kinda nice in person , but just cause he said hi to you and didnt say anything mean to you doesnt mean he's not a dick underneath that.... Also, heard hes hooked up with TONS of underaged girls, like 13 year olds....

[close]

yeah for sure he has boned 13 year olds, what thats wrong for a 20 something year old to do?

thats bullshit saying that, why not add in he enjoys eating babies aswell.

i've met tons of skaters out skating but i've never been one to fan out... maybe lurk when i was younger but now a nod or a what's up suffices... one has to realize they just want to skate like everyone else, but they have that much more pressure when they're pro/am and have to film and get photos (i.e. koston at belmont a couple years back, he was trying that nollie 180 flip up the three and fakie tre down the nine, always made the nollie but the fakie tre was harder to come by...he landed one sketchy and some kids starting clapping and saying "yeah!" then he kinda glances over looks down and says "do you know how fucking annoying that is!"...mind you this is about 1-2 hours of trying that line, he didn't make it that day, in the yeah right! slide show pics, the one where jereme rogers is tweaking a switch ollie on flat is from that day)

i have met aaron suski offered to buy me a drink)... felix arguelles (nice guy)... rodney torres (nice guy too)... and others at bars/clubs..whatever and it's been cool

Sammy Baptist, well he was more annoying than a dick, he kept telling us (the Shorty's team was filming at MACBA and had been there for like a day - anyway i was with a shit load of other skaters, some of whom were i guess being tour guides hahaha (like the REALLY wanted to hahaha)) anyway, he keeps going

"I'm hyped, so fucking hyped to skate, man really hyped to be here, lets skate, lets hit the big 4, man so stoked, i got a trick for "the 4" man hyped"

And Hi-5 everyone, my friend was mocking him it was so funny at the time cas Sammy was all hyper and though Alex was as well, anyway about 15 minutes later he comes back looking like a kid at Christmas

He switch filped the 4 - dont' get me wrong - i'd be stoked on it as well, but the fucking harping on about it was getting to much, talk about patting yourself on the back - what was funny though was we were watching it on the camera, then the filmers goes

"Can't use that the lights all fucked up, you'll have to re-do it"

Everyone about pissed themselves. ..

i know i don't know the guy....but reda seems like the biggest piece of shit in all of skateboarding.  hes just loud and obnoxious.......i don't know why the skaters put up with him.  whenever you see him at all hes just acting like a dick.....and you don't see him often either........does anybody know what is so special about his photography skills that the skateboarders can't just find somebody who isnt a raging italian prick to shoot their kickflips?

Post by: jrock on May 27, 2007, 12:53:00 PM
not necessarily, but if im skating a spot with another skateboarder in close proximity, i generally say "whats up".  If that person can't muster up enough humility to respond back, then they can get fucked, whether he be a pro, an am, or just some kook off the street. Maybe its because I can remember a time where I literally had to fight to ride my skateboard, or maybe its just my southern upbringing, but I take it personal when another skater goes out of his way to be a dick.  And you're saying I have an ego?  You sound like one of those little jock skater kids that started skating 4 or 5 years ago because it looked fun on a video game.

people who think they're skate judges.  this guy sucks, that guys sucks. who the fuck declared you the judge of all judges?  if you rip good for you, but just because someone isn't on your level of skating, doesn't mean you have the right to piss on them.  people like using the "i'm entitled to my opinion" excuse for being a cock but just so you know, it doesn't make you any less of a cock.   

vibing.  why you gots to try and stare me down?   yeah it sucks when a spot gets crowded and it seems everyone is snaking you at "your spot" but it is't your spot.  i don't care if you live across the street and the other dude came from 3000 miles away, its everyones spot to share and skate.  until you show me a deed proving you own the property, get over it.

fashion police.  why do you care what someone elses is wearing?  you work in the fashion industry?  queer eye?  cosmo?  if you're too busy looking at what other men are wearing, you got other problems to worry about.           

as far as listing a name of pros/ams/peeps i've seen doing the above is totally unneeded, they know who they are.

That's weird. I've never met anyone as aware of their impact as Donny. People meet pros and they want to form an opinion. They stare at them and try to figure out what every look and action "means." Donny's a good dude and an amazing skater.

It's hard sometimes. I always remember meeting a pro back in the day and being like "can you frontside flip? do one." The dude was cool about it, but looking back at it I was being an idiot. Some dudes trying to take a rest and I'm calling out tricks like he's my skate puppet. Maybe you guys should realize how awkward it is to be in the limelight and have everyone judge you. Maybe there should be a thread "pro skaters I've hung out with more than once and I still think they're pricks.'

i can't say someones a "dick" if i don't know them on a personal level but i strongly dislike people who yell at little kids who get in the way.  we were all little once and at one point or another, we all got in someones way.  i've seen pros, ams, random heads, so called adults and grown ass men doing this.  chillout with that shit, they're just kids.   

people who think they're skate judges.  this guy sucks, that guys sucks. who the fuck declared you the judge of all judges?  if you rip good for you, but just because someone isn't on your level of skating, doesn't mean you have the right to piss on them.  people like using the "i'm entitled to my opinion" excuse for being a cock but just so you know, it doesn't make you any less of a cock.   

vibing.  why you gots to try and stare me down?   yeah it sucks when a spot gets crowded and it seems everyone is snaking you at "your spot" but it is't your spot.  i don't care if you live across the street and the other dude came from 3000 miles away, its everyones spot to share and skate.  until you show me a deed proving you own the property, get over it.

fashion police.  why do you care what someone elses is wearing?  you work in the fashion industry?  queer eye?  cosmo?  if you're too busy looking at what other men are wearing, you got other problems to worry about.           

as far as listing a name of pros/ams/peeps i've seen doing the above is totally unneeded, they know who they are.

Well some kids now a days just don't have respect for the people around them no matter what level of skater they are, we are all just skaters right. It is a place for all skaters and if some kid is just not paying attention in the area other people are trying tricks or what not the chance of one of the peolpe getting hurt is greater. Chances are the bigger dude is not going to get it as bad as the kid. When I went to powell skate zone as a kid I learned the hard way be getting smoked and got the wind knocked out of me by Salman Agah and you know what that never happened to me after that, if you catch my drift. I will yell at a kid before I have to slam into him because he is in the way when i'm trying a trick.

i honestly can't think of the last time i yelled at someone and it worked, can you? 
instead of being all do or die about it, how about walking up to little man and talking to him like a human being?  explaining to him how hes got to wait his turn, share the spot, skate in the direction everyone else is skating, not to sit on an obstacle, etc. instead of yelling at him and bumming him out, they're just kids afterall and they're there trying to have fun just like me and you. 

don't get me wrong, i can't stand them little disrespectful cocky skaters but those guys will always get theres.  i usually wait for those kind of assholes to slam real hard, then i walk up and laugh in their face and tell them thats what they get for being a fuckin cocksucker.  actually it happened the last time i was skating.  some kid was trying to go every other turn(selfish skater) and ate shit, we all laughed at the dude and made him leave.  hopefully next time he shows up he'll have a better attitude as a whole.

I'm not even saying that this kid's a dick or anything, he was super polite to almost everyone, but Julian Davidson made me laugh at a demo today.  He kept obsessing over this tiny scrape on his hand.  He made fun of the "office shoot" hand gesture some kid made him.  Then he told Nathan Lacoste to go get him a pepsi.

I think Nathan was out hurt and just being like the assistant TM.

Also, Magnus Hansen has gotten really good. Since Sierra and Tave only came out later on, the announcer was calling Magnus "Sierra Fellers" for like half the demo.

Finally, Julian Davidson shot the annoucer a look of disgust, and promptly went to correct him.

What kinda Circa demo is it without Lopez, Cannon and Allie anyway? Adrian and Colt were nowhere to be seen and Jon was just limping around eating Wendy's.

Just about every flip to grind was landed by Fellers and Hansen on the 8 stair rail. Sierra almost had a nollie fs board shove it out.. Durrant is pretty good too. Cerezini was switch back lippin' and Patterson was dropping fatty to flatty fs flips, both with their names tattoo'ed on their arms a la Wenning.

for the record, I want every slap pal to know if they already didn't that, cliff is NOT a dick, I met him many years ago at an A-Team/Blind Demo, and I just remember being this probably annoying 12 year old kid, but I distinctly remember that James Craig and Ronnie Creager were super cool to me that day, Ronnie even recorded a mini interview with me on his camera he was messing around with, it's little things like that that can make u that much more super hyped on a skater.

Tony Silva- I went with my girl to the premier of foundations cataclismic abyss, it was the first showing and was pretty empty, instead of siting down like every other person attending he stands directly next we where we are sitting a begins to yell at anything in the video, which everyone else was doing but then he starts smoking his crappy cigarette in the theater, then my girl ask him to move away with the ciragerette, he mumbles something under his breath but does not move away from us. So then I turn to him and I am like look you little #$%%@* move away from me with that @#$% now. He then finally moved away. Besides that every other am or pro I have met has been pretty cool.

i was at asr during the game of skate thing and chris haslam was going super slow when he was trying his tricks, so i said to my friend "he needs to take another push" or something to that effect, and jamie thomas turns around and says "why dont you go out there and do it then." it was hillarious. we laughed for a bit. i probably sounded like and asshole but i was joking.  he still treated me to those few beautiful words though.

i remember back in the A-Team days i was like 15 skating vans and i saw gershon and asked him for an autograph when he was leaving the park and he said "i dont do autographs." amazing.

and to that guy above talking about t silva, when was this? were you sitting where he was next to the aisle? i was with him. i dont remember you saying anything.

the thing that is ironic is that most of you dont sound very cool, so why would anyone need to be cool to you? im sure if you were sponsored you would treat idiot kids like shit. not to mention, who gives a shit, people arent pro because they are nice, but because they are good. your best bet is to just try to be nice to people you meet and quite having expectations from people just because they are good at skateboarding.
The reason they would be cool is because its their job. If you act like a dick and are known as a dick you'll fall off really quickly. If I was big I think I would get really self conscious because whenever you go out skating everybody is judging you on who you are and how you skate. Come off as a dick or a shitty skater "in person" too many times, especially in this internet age and you could really fuck yourself over.

that is where other sports got one on skateboarding. your numbers are what counts, not your attitude. besides whats with all the baby whining about how so and so wasnt nice to you? i thought skateboarding was all punk rock now? you cant have your cake and eat it to.

I think that different people deal with it in different ways. I always thought that's why guys like Koston and The Gonz dork it so much when they're around the kids. Because they totally understand that being a pro skater is like being a paid stunt monkey. So they figure fuck it, as long as they are doing the "skate for me" thing, they might as well have fun and not take it so seriously. It's not open heart surgery. Lives are not hanging in the balance. It's just skateboarding. Don't be a dick.

I can understand calling a Pro or an Am a dick if they mock you when you ask for an autograph or you try to talk to them and they just shut you down, but I don't see why you can call Tony Silva a dick because you were whining about him having a good time, you said that he was yelling during the video just like everyone else, well than you can't be upset with just Tony, you also changed your story to make your side sound more legit. If someone was giving me a hard time while I was trying to have fun than I wouldn't be that pleasant either, you most likely asked him in a rude manor so I'm sure that wouldn't help the situation, most people in this topic have stated why the Pros or Ams are dicks and have given legit reasons, but you are just a cry baby, its a Foundation video premier its not going to be like church, ofcourse people are going to be yelling and going crazy, and if Tony didn't put out his cigarette than you could have moved to another seat instead of starting a pointless arguement. So put yourself in someone else's shoes and you calling someone a dick over the internet over some stupid situation like your's than you just look like an idiot.

This is a good thread though, it makes you realise that Pros and Ams shouldn't have to be fake if they don't want to, there just like everyone else so treating them differently might make them react in a different way than they would if you were just down to earth with them.

I was at Tampa Pro a few years ago with a friend and we were sitting up on one of the quarters with all the dudes waiting for their runs. My buddy was sitting right next to Allissa Steamer who was standing, and it was super crowded. It was hot too and my friend reached down to adjust himself and at the same time accidentally rubbed her leg with his elbow. She looked down and said" What the fuck man, you just itched your nuts and rubbed my leg at the same time. That shit's not kosher, you've got to find a new place to sit." She just yelled at him like she owned the place.

Whatever though, I'm not saying she's a dick. Made for a good laugh actually.

when all of those bouncers skate, including one who is now the team manager for Venture and two that work at FTC, maybe he could understand why they would ask him to stop pounding some guy's face...but in his defense, he looked pretty wasted and maybe he didn't recognize who was giving him the boot...like I said, i thought it was funny and i just wanted to get the whole story...no hate here, Schmitty

i used to skate at the little venice circle park for like three years straight. it's pretty shitty but a cool place to meet up with your friends, figure out what you are going to do that day, scan for hot girls etc. basic warm up/ end of the day spot.

aaron snyder rolls up with his filmer and they both start acting like fags. after cutting off some local, aaron gets pissed and makes the unfortunate mistake of saying "all people who chill at venice are fags". certain people didn't like that. i never saw him at the spot again.

he he...holy shit, i remember that day. it sucked because i knew aaron and gayton (filmer) but was definitely going to choose venice over their shit. i remember gayton hit some kid sitting on the ledge in the face with his vx cause they said something after snyder got all bummed that he got cut off.  charlie lamb from ny was with them and i just told them they should leave. snyder is usually a nice guy. but that day him and gayton kooked it big time. funny memory for sure. and duly ejected from dagger land.

i can't say someones a "dick" if i don't know them on a personal level but i strongly dislike people who yell at little kids who get in the way.  we were all little once and at one point or another, we all got in someones way.  i've seen pros, ams, random heads, so called adults and grown ass men doing this.  chillout with that shit, they're just kids.   

people who think they're skate judges.  this guy sucks, that guys sucks. who the fuck declared you the judge of all judges?  if you rip good for you, but just because someone isn't on your level of skating, doesn't mean you have the right to piss on them.  people like using the "i'm entitled to my opinion" excuse for being a cock but just so you know, it doesn't make you any less of a cock.   

vibing.  why you gots to try and stare me down?   yeah it sucks when a spot gets crowded and it seems everyone is snaking you at "your spot" but it is't your spot.  i don't care if you live across the street and the other dude came from 3000 miles away, its everyones spot to share and skate.  until you show me a deed proving you own the property, get over it.

fashion police.  why do you care what someone elses is wearing?  you work in the fashion industry?  queer eye?  cosmo?  if you're too busy looking at what other men are wearing, you got other problems to worry about.           

as far as listing a name of pros/ams/peeps i've seen doing the above is totally unneeded, they know who they are.
[close]
Well some kids now a days just don't have respect for the people around them no matter what level of skater they are, we are all just skaters right. It is a place for all skaters and if some kid is just not paying attention in the area other people are trying tricks or what not the chance of one of the peolpe getting hurt is greater. Chances are the bigger dude is not going to get it as bad as the kid. When I went to powell skate zone as a kid I learned the hard way be getting smoked and got the wind knocked out of me by Salman Agah and you know what that never happened to me after that, if you catch my drift. I will yell at a kid before I have to slam into him because he is in the way when i'm trying a trick.

truth. it's the only way kids learn. sad but true.

i remember i met all the zero guys when i was 14 after a casl contest. they were at this white ten stair ledge, the one adrien lopez back tails to fakie for his ender in misled youth. all of the guys were really cool and friendly. jamie thomas and erik elington were across the street and matt mumford said to go talk to them. jamie thomas told me and my friend to go back over there and he would give us some autographs when they were done. we probably were annoying but he didn't have to be such an unfriendly dick to little kids. everytime i've seen him around he always seems to have some kind of attitude going on.when he rode for emerica my friend jb worked at sole tech and he was mopping something and jamie laughed and called him the sole tech janitor.

I remember the day in San Clemente that you're referring to and your story paints me to be lame, but we were in the middle of filming. And for the record, I would have never told you'd I'd give you an autograph if you didn't ask. I recall it being more like; hey, I'm down to sign whatever if you guys could hang out over there for a few minutes till we're done.

The Sole Tech janitor thing is made up as hell, I've mopped floors before and the last thing I would do is diss someone for it.
I try to be as nice as I can be considering the situation, maybe that's that not enough sometimes, but I give what I have to give.

Carroll was a real cool dude when I met him. He was kinda quiet but after a few drinks he loosened up. Funny guy. Rick Howard and Ty Evans were two of the biggest dicks Ive ever met.

colin mckay..met him at asr a couple yrs ago, all he did was shake my hand and not say shit to me while i sat with the rest of the plan b team for a signing. pj is pretty much what everyone would expect, nice dude, pretty quiet, and pissed off that he couldnt skate later that day cause he had to jump on a plane.

a loooong time ago when he was still on world industries, chris cole asked me if I "could feel the helium" in my converse skate shoes, the ones Stefan Laurance used to always wear. I said yes, and he gave me a smug grin and wandered off.

In retrospect, those shoes were pretty whacky, but you don't gotta be dick, plus I was like 15. that's youre potential fan base, moron.

Aside from that and Jesse Paez who flat out ignored my asking who he was, i've never met another dickish pro/am.

Though I've had the ever unpleasant time of meeting Sue Trihn. Me and my friends showed up to LA High, and there was a bunch of people skating, so we decided to lurk a bit, so there was Chris Haslam, Brian Edwards, Rodrigo Peterson, and like two other brazillian dudes that didn't speak any english skating the rail. We were sorta being standoffish at first, but those dudes were comming over and inviting us to sesh, like way cool. So we started skating, and eventually I think I was trying front salad fakie or something, and I hear the photog dude Sue say "Didn't that get done SWITCH???" to his smug little non-skating friends, and they all snickered. And this dude I was there with was trying kickflip front board or something, and he'd set off his flash randomly to fuck with him, he even ran up on him shooting a sequence, litterally from 15 feet away up into his face while he was on the ground, and he was laughin it up.

Fucking dick.

but as a consolation, haslam did the back board fs flip that ended up in a mag/his round 3 part, so I got to brag that I was there n' shit afterwards

i can't say someones a "dick" if i don't know them on a personal level but i strongly dislike people who yell at little kids who get in the way.  we were all little once and at one point or another, we all got in someones way.  i've seen pros, ams, random heads, so called adults and grown ass men doing this.  chillout with that shit, they're just kids.   

people who think they're skate judges.  this guy sucks, that guys sucks. who the fuck declared you the judge of all judges?  if you rip good for you, but just because someone isn't on your level of skating, doesn't mean you have the right to piss on them.  people like using the "i'm entitled to my opinion" excuse for being a cock but just so you know, it doesn't make you any less of a cock.   

vibing.  why you gots to try and stare me down?   yeah it sucks when a spot gets crowded and it seems everyone is snaking you at "your spot" but it is't your spot.  i don't care if you live across the street and the other dude came from 3000 miles away, its everyones spot to share and skate.  until you show me a deed proving you own the property, get over it.

fashion police.  why do you care what someone elses is wearing?  you work in the fashion industry?  queer eye?  cosmo?  if you're too busy looking at what other men are wearing, you got other problems to worry about.           

as far as listing a name of pros/ams/peeps i've seen doing the above is totally unneeded, they know who they are.

someone publish this, please

Well, I don't remember what I asked him specifically. I think it was more, "Dude, you're here with Ezekiel, aren't you?" or something.

I dunno, I'm not furious about that, or Chris Cole making fun of my shoes, I wasn't even that upset about it then, even. I just remembered it happening, and those are the two incidents that somewhat fit the bill of this conversation. I'm sure they're both really cool dudes.

But on the other spectrum, Karl Watson was the coolest dude I've ever met, either that or I cought him on a really good day. This dude I went to SF with that drove was a bmx'er, and we were cruising around 3rd & army, and being the respectful bmxer that he was, he was just seshin the gap, I think he did a barspin and a "kickflip" with the cranks, and Karl Watson was sooooo stoked, he came over and initiated conversation with us for like a half hour, and he ended up smoking weed out of a seashell with this other dude I was there with

& Jake Stewart gave me a Media board for riding one of their blanks

Post by: Art_G on December 18, 2007, 01:30:22 AM
My pro encounters from the 90's... Never a "fan out" situation, usually just skating the same park/spot.

Nice guys:
Ray Barbee - nicest guy ever. Counselled at the same skatecamp a couple times, '98 and '01.
 
Shawn Mandoli - as above, '98. He had just gotten off Real and was still ripping.

Mike Crum  - when he lived in Vancouver briefly... '95 or so... "yeah'd" my line at The Clubhouse. It's cool when pros give props to kids. Zero effort on the pro's part, makes the kid feel good.

Tas Pappas - bought a Mad Circle shirt off him at Slam City Jam '95 so he could buy lunch, talked to him on the way to the concession. Struck me as nice.

Chris Senn - skated the Powell skatezone with him in '94. He encouraged me to keep trying a trick that he had seen me trying earlier. Landed it in front of him, got the "yeah". Saw him at the first Slam City Jam a month or so later, he remembered me. Stuff like that means you aren't a dick in my book. Just talking and being cool to random kids. I entered SCJ in '98, and Chris was flying around the course like a madman. He bailed something and slid face-first into some kid (who had snuck past security)'s board. Cut his nose, bled pretty good. Didn't yell at the kid, who looked ready to crap his pants. Templeton was cool about it, too (Chris was on Toy Machine then. Ed applied t-shirt-to-the-nose first aid).

Jake Stewart - I saw him entertain a group of kids gathered around him.

Andy MacDonald - I'm sure he's a celebrity on these boards! Anaheim Vans park in '99. I was 3-flipping a hip, he was doing melons over it. I said I couldn't grab backside, he told me my trick was harder.
 
Ronnie Creager - Same day as above, I thought he was funny cause he had a two-man posse. Both dudes were rocking all Ronnie's sponsors' gear. Then the trio "yeah'd" my tailslide bigspin. Why do I clearly remember the trick? Pros make impressions, I guess.

Rick McCrank - I was semi-sponsored and going to Vancouver more often around the time that he was just about to blow up. Skated around him a few times. Very mellow, cool guy.

I was on the same small board company as Arron Johnson when he was 14. Didn't see him for a few years, then he came through the local park on a demo tour all grown up and absolutely ripping, around '02. I didn't recognise him until he came up to me and said what's up. He's humble even though he's skate-gifted.

Skated lots with Keegan Sauder when he was on Real and lived in my town. We never hit it off as homies, but he's definitely cool. Total natural.

Guy who's so weird he's cool: Lennie Kirk. What an enigma; I couldn't figure him out in the week I was around him. I heard he may be coming back...

There's some not-so-nice pros I've been around, too, but not enough to really know if they're dicks. Well, maybe Moses...

Karl Watson seems like he would be the coolest dude in the industry. He belongs in that "who do you think best represents skateboarding" thread.

Ted Barrows was cool, amazingly consistant with switch tricks that make you look twice and question whether it was really just switch or if you were just imagining things. He kept to himself but at one point everyone left and it was just me and him skating and he seemed to get stoked off of my crappy tricks inbetween doing switch backtails all over the place.

let's change this to the nicest dude topic.

Agreed, now I can contribute more than one thing to the thread. The only "pro" who was a dick was Bob Fairbairn. You've prob never heard of him because he turned himself pro for his shop when he was gunna be in the newspaper, but he's a huge liar and encourages ridiculous price gouging at his skate shop and park, while he lives in a million-dollar house in a gated community. I could go on and on, but he's not even a legit pro, so I digress...
On the other hand, nice dudes include:
Jeron Wilson - talked to one of my friends about shoe colorways for a while, and nothing but good vibes.
Steve Berra - for some reason, nobody seemed to recognize him at the skate more premier I was at. So I talked to him for a while bout being hurt and skating. really cool guy.
Huf - seemed happier to shake my hand than I was to shake his.
Dan Pensyl - really down to earth and smiles for miles.
Steve Rodriguez - cant really come up with the right words, just a great guy
Andrew Reynolds - He appologized for barely bumping into me when he was getting mobbed by kids, it was hardly even his fault. Talked to him later and he appologized again, I didnt think he even remembered me.
Rip (from Super Champion Fun Zone) - Met him skating to KCDC on go skate day, and he hung out with us for a couple hours. Probably the coolest dude I have ever met on or off a board; he was actually sad when my friends and I had to leave.

Couple more memories:

James Kelch - first Slam City Jam, he sat outside the gated area, drunk with a beer in his hand. I asked him if he was skating the contest, he said "nah, just hangin' out." He was talking to all the kids around him. I guess if he wasn't at home at EMB he was cool...

Jim Thiebaud - same SCJ, I asked him if he had any boards to sell (decks were pretty expensive in Canada then). He said "no, but do you want some wheels?" We walked over to his van and he gave me a set of wheels. I asked him how to pronounce his last name.

Rune Glifberg and Remy Stratton - Vans Park, '99. I filmed them for awhile, they were cool about it, even though Weiss was filming for something... Digital?

Matt Beach - talked to him for awhile one time, he was super cool. Everyone already knew that though.

Danny Supa- Met him when I was 13 and told him I was so psyched on his Mixtape part (this was in '05). He was surprised I even knew what Mixtape was. We talked for a bit.
Vinny Ponte- Real nice.
Zered- Quiet but nice.
Lurker Lou- Talks sooooooooo much shit. But still pretty nice.
Malcom Watson- Nicest. Dude. Ever. End of story. Have like 45 minute conversations with him evertyime I see him.
Mike V- Surprisingly really nice and grateful. Handed my board back to me after it came his way. "Yeah'd" this wallride I was trying. Changed my opinion on him.
Charles Lamb- Nice dude. Always slips me some Supreme stickers fo free while Hypebeasts pay like $5 for em.
Wenning- For me the verdicts still out on him. He's been nice to me before but I've seen him be a huge dick a lot of time. My cousin used to date him and one time they came home from the bar. He puked all over her carpet, left and never talked to her again.

every person has the potential to be a complete asshole or completely cool.  most pros/ams are cool for the most part, sometimes you just catch them at the wrong time.  i know i've been a dick to people but its never really has anything to do with them.  its usually because of other shit going on in my life.
i can't remember the last time i met some pro/am and they were complete dick.

this thread just turned into a place for 15 year olds to name drop every pro theyve ever had sign their face at a demo. "Dude, Billy Marks, chillest dude ever. I waved to him and he nodded his head at me. It wasnt even like he was billy marks it was like he was my best friend ever. So ya Billy Mark + Me = Homies. And he was chill, because I know all of you were wondering" fuck this thread sucks.

Donovan Strain(Butteryass Mondays): Really nice guy, he doesn't really talk the way he does in his clips.
Mikemo: really nice if he doesn't know you or your his friend but kind of a dick if he doesn't like you which is somewhat understandable
Nick Mclouth: Might come off as a dick but if you get to know him hes a nice guy
Billy Roper: Nice guy, kind of a pile
Sammy Baptista: Didn't know it was him at first when i showed up to the spot, he walked right up and introduced himself. Good first impression.

pretty much all of them i met were real rad.  Cairo was the only one to be the only remotely dickish one.  but i don't really blame him since it was at ASR and i'm sure he got people all up on him constantly.

best dude ever.  Cardiel.  met him shortly after he started walking around on his own.  dude was extremely stoked to hear that we we were psyched to see him doing a lot better.  talked to the local shop owner and myself for awhile even though he didn't have to.  great dude.

About 2 years back I showed up at a spot and to my disbelief a whole bunch of the lakai team were there (they were touring to get footy). Like Carroll, Koston, Cairo, Beibel, Olson, Mariano, Rick Howard...thats all i can remember really. Koston was STRESSING trying to film some ridiculous trick, throwing his board all over the place and screaming. Carroll gave one of my friends some wheels because the ones he was riding were so worn down...legend. Cairo was real cool and mellow too...him and carroll were just seshing the flatground at the quiet end of the spot. I think Mariano hated the spot because the ledge was too close to the wall.

Another lad is Chima. A while back he was in Perth to get footy and i drove him to some spots with this filmer i know. I thought he might be big headed but he was cool as shit. he even offered me petrol money (which i declined of course).
we took him to a huge double set and he 360'd it like it was nothing.

a loooong time ago when he was still on world industries, chris cole asked me if I "could feel the helium" in my converse skate shoes, the ones Stefan Laurance used to always wear. I said yes, and he gave me a smug grin and wandered off.

In retrospect, those shoes were pretty whacky, but you don't gotta be dick, plus I was like 15. that's youre potential fan base, moron.

Aside from that and Jesse Paez who flat out ignored my asking who he was, i've never met another dickish pro/am.

Though I've had the ever unpleasant time of meeting Sue Trihn. Me and my friends showed up to LA High, and there was a bunch of people skating, so we decided to lurk a bit, so there was Chris Haslam, Brian Edwards, Rodrigo Peterson, and like two other brazillian dudes that didn't speak any english skating the rail. We were sorta being standoffish at first, but those dudes were comming over and inviting us to sesh, like way cool. So we started skating, and eventually I think I was trying front salad fakie or something, and I hear the photog dude Sue say "Didn't that get done SWITCH???" to his smug little non-skating friends, and they all snickered. And this dude I was there with was trying kickflip front board or something, and he'd set off his flash randomly to fuck with him, he even ran up on him shooting a sequence, litterally from 15 feet away up into his face while he was on the ground, and he was laughin it up.

Fucking dick.

but as a consolation, haslam did the back board fs flip that ended up in a mag/his round 3 part, so I got to brag that I was there n' shit afterwards

Tony Hawk was a douche.  We were at a demo in the mid 90s and my buddy was kinda just filming around the whole demo.  Tony Hawk comes by and tells him that if he wanted to film, that he needed to pay money to film Tony.  We laughed it off and carried on our way.  5 minutes later Tony comes back to my friend again and says, "if you don't put that fucking camera down I'm gonna put it down for you".  H e was a complete dick.

Also, Danny way is a dick, Sheckler of course, PJ Ladd, and Bam.

The only way i can see somebody as being a dick is if they make a concerted effort to be a dick to everyone. These dudes are paid to skate, not be your best friend. I like the fact that people talked about people that are super chill.

The whole Blind team was super cool.
Came to a demo in Jersey a while back at Small Empire.

Cory Sheppard killed the mini ramp at the shop. That dude was so good and really cool. I asked him for something out of excitement....just being a dumb little kid. Instead of being a dick...he gave me his I-Paths. Still have them. Thanks Cory.

James Craig was super cool. Clif and I talked about his part. I told him his last trick in What If? was amazing...it still is. He was super cool and put up with my little kid dumbness. He was the first pro I met and was psyche when I recognized him. Coolest dude.

Jake Brown was bummed on being hurt. Other than that...pretty cool.

Bill Weis was funny. I aske him to do a naked 540...he laughed and asked if the guys behind the counter told me to say that. He never did one though =/

Ronnie Creager was really shy and quite. I was being a kook...and he was still polite and nice.

Toy Machine also did a demo there.

Everyone there was cool....really wild funny guys. Billy and J-Lay were shooting Roman Candles at kids haha. J-Lay gave me his board cause mine was shot. Still have that one. Billy spent a lot of time in the van on the phone with his lady. After seeing pictures of her I understand why.

Matt Bennet was really quite and cool.

Josh Harmony skated super fast and was really down to earth. Noticed I was wearing a cross and got psyched on it.

Austin Stephens...where do I begin? Really humble and nice. His style is rediculous...like mind boggling! He was doind slappy front blunt...i came a little. Fuck Austin Stephens haters...he kills it...smoothly  8)

Met the some of the Girl/Chocolate team when they came through two summers ago. Dudes were probably all tired because it was like 100 and straight humid, so that could have swayed their attitudes.

Devine-Cool as shit. got a picture with him, one of the nicest dudes ive ever met

Kenny-Real quiet but wasn't a dick at all

Malto-Also really quiet but friendly too

Chris Roberts-Really humble and super nice dudes. talked with him about his part in A Time to Shine.

Beebs-real cool, kicked it with all the kids, all around nice dude.

Scott Johnston-Cool as fuck. he was hurt at the time so i talked to him about that and just super friendly.

Aaron Meza-was taking pictures with kids and stuff but i didnt really talk to him. seemed legit though.

Carroll- Funny and really friendly

MJ- Real cool, funny as fuck too.

Koston-Sort of stand-of-ish. my buddy tried talking to him about his switch from eS to lakai, so maybe that was why.

Rick Howard- cool dude, friendly with everyone.

Pops-Seemed like he just wanted to get out of there

McCrank-Same. quiet, seemed like he wanted to leave.

It was so hot out that day though, my buddy passed out and fell into the bowl at the park. So it was understandable that some of the dudes were pissed off because it was so hot.

Yeah i also met toy machine but at a demo in benicia skatepark. i met the whole team sans austin stephens and diego bucherri.

billy marks was soo fucking cool. i asked him about his fallen part and he said he's got a full part, unlike his suffer part, and he said it's pretty good. he also asked me if i had a lighter so he could burn the ends of his shoe laces. shot water guns at the kids after the demo (including me in the face). it was fun.

johnny layton was really chill and quiet.

i talked to ed templeton for a while. i asked him about his emerica part but he said that he doesn't have that much footage. he told me that he designs the toy machine graphics. i acted all surprised as if i didn't know just cuz it was cool hearing it come from him. matt bennett was nice but didn't say much.

josh harmony was awesome. he was the first pro i ever met, right as he was coming out of the van.

trapasso was cool but was noticably high. i talked to him before i got super stoned, but after he was my friend went to get his autograph and he was a dick to him. he said "can't you see i'm trying to smoke this blunt" or something like that. i laughed so hard.

i also met that flow dude rob straser. i thought he was stephens but he was sick. super cool and seemed excited that someone wanted his autograph. he ripped it at the demo so i was glad i got it. then i saw him in heavy flow day and i was happy i met him.

Mike Carroll is a jerk, but in a good way....I was at a Girl demo and it was time for the product toss.  As mass of kids had accumulated under the ramp where the team was tossing product from.....Mike tried handing a new board to this little kid, but as the kid got a hold of the board, some punk tore it out of his hands....Mike jumped off of the ramp (beer in hand), snatched the board back, dumped beer all over the kid, and made sure that the younger kid got the board......He walked by me and said, "Did you see that kid? That kid was a little jerk.....I need another beer."   Funny Shit

mike peterson: always real cool.  seems very humble.
kalis: awesome... hung out with him and stevie in philly back in 98 tripping on acid.  gave me a brand new workshop prototype deck and asked me if i wanted to go to NY with him, steve, and ryan gee that day to film for some transworld vid.
harold hunter: met him at a demo in dc back in 96.  really funny, and really nice.
john buchanan: always cool when i see him around jacksonville... tho ive never skated with him, its usually getting drunk downtown
ryan nix: dont know if it counts since he was just a 15 year old kid staying with billy lane at the time, but he was pretty cool.

kill this thread and make one pros/ams that are nice. If people are dicks they aren't even worth to be brought up. Cool guys I've met: Nilton Neves, Andre Genovesi, gallant, justin eldridge, d way, chaney, langi, rickk, cards, BA, rip, chris nieratko, guy (smoked a cig with him at demo like 10+ yrs ago talking about tim dowling's listen and I've never seen mouse, lol), muska, cliff for like a minute, p-rod, jereme rogers, mike york, sumner, shit there is a shit load more but I can't remember. But there are a lot of pros/ams that don't talk/act friendly to people and give tough guy looks, not really feeling that but oh well. Props to the dudes who are down to earth and level with fools.

Also Senn, theotis, malcom watson, wussler, and hassan get nice guy awards too. 8)

stefan and omar were the nicest dudes, came over when wiegers dunk got released.
wieger on the other hand is pretty much a dick. I asked him what was up with his boardsponsor
and he said "not telling, you kids put everything on the internet", or some shit like that.

I met matt miller and the rest of the zoo team a while ago and matt was superfriendly. i asked him what was up
with his transworld part (it wasnt out then) and we talked abit about skating and some of that.

I rarely approach people but here's a few memories from the vault:

Natas Kaupus - Remains my biggest influence in skateboarding. I saw him at a demo in Jersey at Ollie Pops early 90's and I fanned out and started skating near him because I was so hyped and ended up plowing him down somehow. I'm guessing we both were skating with our heads down. I apoligized like 10 X. Natas was pretty cool, totally aloof though.

Mike Vallely - I know Mike from skating anywhere in Jersey late 80's but this particular memory was the day he ollied frontside grabbed over the fence on top of the Brooklyn Banks wall. This is back when he was on Black Label. I didn't know he was going to show up. Me and my friend were sitting on the wall just looking at the fence and the fuck just walks up, looks at it, and then starts going for it. That dude has major pop off tranny.

Chris Cole - Chris is a nice kid. This is back when he was making the fresh to hesh transformation. We were calling him and his various henchmen "Chris Kool & The Gang". He was trying to shoot pictures for his Big Brother interview and we brought him to the Asbury pool thinking he was all flip tricks and ledge only and amazingly he shocked us with a backside disaster on the face wall.

Chris Swanson - Funniest dude when you get to know him. I told him to get rid of his gnarly unibrow and he let me shave it off for him.

Steve Caballero - Serious guy. Likes Cheerios. I was alittle worked and I asked him about his neck, why it's bent, forgot what he said why.

Brian Wenning - Enigma child. This is pre- sponsorship pre- urban Wenning @ Eatontown skate nite. He always had these real small bearing cover wheels with flatspots and I thought he'd skate faster with newer wheels. I offered him a pair of barely used Spits but he was more than happy with his lumpy 40 mm duds.

Ethan Fowler - Met him at a Vans contest in Asbury during his black ankle sock goth phase. Stoked on his skating. I thought he'd have a real anti-social persona but I was wrong. Scott Bourne was alittle anti-social though. But I guess that's what happens when you're the lone straight edge guy at a bar like he was.

Josh Kalis - Never a fan. Bumped into him at Love when he ran his mouth to one of my friends for littering like he owned the place. I got alittle irritated at first but then we got talking about JFK and some conspiracy shit and I ended up getting some BGP's in one of his DC ads.

Ricky Oyola - This guy is usually aggro but I like it. The first time we met in 1990 at Love park, my first time there as a weekend warrior tourist fuck he just came up and asked me for a skate tool and I said I didn't have one so he got annoyed and said , "Don't come back next time without a tool"...

chris roberts- my friend spilled red powerade all over his white t and mj was a dick about it
chris didnt care though hes like "this was free" i talked to marc earlier though and complimented
his man down part and talked about tiltmode. seems like he just has mood swings

damien smith- it was a split demo (he sucked) and he said some stupid shit to me and my friends for no reason.
none of us knew who he was though. shetler (nicholas cage)was really cool

rip torn- snuck my friends boards into the park and was psyched we knew who he was.

Absolute coolest pro I've ever met was Tim Brauch.  Met Tim, Markovich, and Charlie Wilkins at an Estes Clothing demo about 10 years ago an they were all really nice and willing to shoot the shit with everyone. Geoff Rowley on the other hand, slept in the van and never got out the whole four or five hours the team was there.

then proceeded to go outside and drink with chaz and the other dudes..

danny gonz seemed stoked i knew who he was at a bueno demo

mark gutterman was rad and taught me smiths on tranny
which is weird since he is only 2years older then me

tnt yelled "ROCK N ROLL" in the parking lot then danced off

anyhow back to dicks..
the only people ive met that seemed very dickish were ... well i cant even think of any
besides at a volcom demo that shecker was at
he kickfliped some bank and self cheered
then duncombe fs fliped it
he seemd bummed..

Aside from that and Jesse Paez who flat out ignored my asking who he was, i've never met another dickish pro/am.

[close]

So you just flat out asked him "who are you?" That might seem a bit weird, too.
[close]

Well, I don't remember what I asked him specifically. I think it was more, "Dude, you're here with Ezekiel, aren't you?" or something.

I dunno, I'm not furious about that, or Chris Cole making fun of my shoes, I wasn't even that upset about it then, even. I just remembered it happening, and those are the two incidents that somewhat fit the bill of this conversation. I'm sure they're both really cool dudes.

But on the other spectrum, Karl Watson was the coolest dude I've ever met, either that or I cought him on a really good day. This dude I went to SF with that drove was a bmx'er, and we were cruising around 3rd & army, and being the respectful bmxer that he was, he was just seshin the gap, I think he did a barspin and a "kickflip" with the cranks, and Karl Watson was sooooo stoked, he came over and initiated conversation with us for like a half hour, and he ended up smoking weed out of a seashell with this other dude I was there with

& Jake Stewart gave me a Media board for riding one of their blanks

Bob Kronbauer*sp hooked my friend up with some crownfarmer gear for waaay cheap, I think I've still got the "take pills and chill" shirt somewhere


Ill have to agree with the comment about Karl Watson, I was in sf about a week ago for my first time, And of course i wanted to skate third and army The second i rolled up to 3rd the first person to come up to me was Karl, he  introduced himself right away and made me feel super welcome there, that fucking stoked me out,later some homies were seshin the 3 stair or whatever and Karl was just yellin the hole time I think i ollied it or rolled down it or something just messin and He was so stoked with a big smile and Just cheered i was soo stoked. Definetly my favorite person on the planet.

Another dope person i met was Adrian williams the same day, soo good super hyped on the tricks i was doing on the flat bar or whatevs chatted him up a bit. He was also doing back lip big flip on the ledge soooo good which made me want to try hard. All around i think if u go to SF you'll meet nice pro's/ams/people in general

Stefan Janoski - Really nice dude. Wasn't as tall as I thought he'd be. SB Janoski's look amazing in person by the way
Danny Falla - Really chill dude actually says hi when I enter the shop
Jimmy Mcdonald - Really chill dude
Bobby Puleo - Pretty cool guy. Some people say he's a dick but I guess it depends on the situation. I went over to say hi and he was pretty cool about it. After he skated the mini ramp he actually said take care to me. So I guess he couldn't be an asshole

Koston- My friend asked him to sign a shoot all skaters shirt and he told him to fuck off.
Kerry Getz- didnt do nothing to me, but he was skating a demo at my local park and one of the shop guys put up some type of stupid rail for him to skate. he took it down and continued trying whatever he was trying. kind of had an attitude about him...maybe because my park was shit hahah

another habitat guy was a dick too. dont remember who it was though.
so some asshole put a shitty obstacle in front of him and expected him to just stop what he was already trying and love it? you yourself said it was a stupid rail. fuck outta here with this bullshit.

basically the only dicks i've ever met are flow people who think they're the shit. i'm sure they're out there though

Yeah, flow trash think they're the shit, it sucks even worst when theyre not not even direct flow just rep flow. Bunch of desilusional fools
