Kind of strange to hear such an opinion of Silas.
-
I wonder where Austin will end up next? Great interview nieratko...as usual
-
so the razor dude cant get along with anybody..
-
"At any point during filming, did you get so frustrated watching Silas skate that you wanted to pull a Tonya Harding?
I don't skate with Silas. I don't get along with him too well. He's bitter and I'm not bitter and we don't get along together. We really don't work well together and we've both accepted it. I've seen him skate in person and it's really annoying because he can do anything and he doesn't look like that kind of person. He doesn't look like someone who is even capable of pushing. He does the most incredible tricks I've ever seen in my life. He's probably one of the best out there. He's rad to watch in person."
AHAHAHAHH SICK ...
-
all is not well in the habitat camp.
great interview.
-
Austin seems like he has no censor to what he should and shouldn't say.
Anyone know what Getz is working on though?
-
damn thats lame. he seemed like a nice dude. i cant see him being bitter maybe just more of a loner kinda an intravert.
-
Habitat use to be the illest,
now they remind me of toy machine.
They had the best team, originality and concept.
Still trying to live that dream with some of these new dudes that don't fit and lack any originality.
-
or maybe they're friends, at this shit is actually funny to both of them?
i dunno. :-\
-
maybe they're giving you fags something to get worked up about
-
Very strange. I guess Austyn is being real but it seems like he doesn't get along with many people, fights with Conroy and Silas, being bummed about Daryl getting on. Seems pretty fucked. Kerry seems to be bitter about Kyle not getting on, maybe Kerry Getz is just out of it, that Kyle dude sucks, I mean the fucking guy signed on with Selfish how much more indication do you need than that?

Toy Machine is one of the sickest companies out there, you're fucked.
This video made one thing clear to me, that Danny Garcia is the only thing cool about Habitat. His part albeit short was the only one that really got me psyched. Don't get me wrong Austyn killed it but he just doesn't get me psyched.
Edit: Sorry Castrucci you are awesome too! but that's it you and Danny hahahaha, obviously I'm joking but really didn't get psyched on anyone else.

WELL LETS SEE
IT WAS A NOTORIOUS FACT THAT THE DARLY KID WAS A DICKHEAD ONCE THE BURTON TAKE OVER CAME ALL THESE WEST COAST KIDS JUST APPEARED ON THE FUCKING TEAM KYLE WOULDA BEEN A SICK ADDITION TO THE TEAM BUT THE PEEPS IN CHARGE ARE JUST FUCKING CLUELESS AND I GUESS THEY VALUE STEFFANS WORD MORE THAN KERRY GETZ EVEN THOUGH KG IS LIKE 1 OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS !
BUT WHEN EVER YOU GO AGAINST THE GRAIN SHIT CRUMBLES !!!
-
yeah I like the comparison between toy and habitat. inner company politics obviously doesn't affect how I skate or what boards I'm going to buy, but the shit thats happened over there in the past five years is questionable to say the least. why the fuck did it take four years for steve durante to get the bump up and this gillette kid (sick as he may be) gets on the team out of no where?? remember when dgar was added to give the left coast some love...seems to me like they've done a complete 180 and now throw bones to the dudes on the east coast. fuck em, I can still appreciate the skating and quality of the wood, there are just way better brands I can be giving my money to right now.
-
habitat needs to get kyle back before selfish fucks him. hes too good for that shit.
and who knows how serious that silas gillette thing is. silas seems too mellow for that shit. it sounded more like a weird complement.

they both got on around the same time. at the very least, you know they were both on during inhabitants which was about 2007.
-
austin seems lame.
-
All this love for Kyle Nicholson is mind blowing! And I'm from and live on the east coast. I'm here to tell you that the guy has never impressed me and always come off like a reject, so its not surprising to me he rides for Axion and Selfish. I'm actually surprised he has more than a shop sponsor.
-
austin seems lame.
I THINK AUSTINS COOL NOW.. I HATED HIM BEFORE
BUT ITS ALWAYS GOOD WHEN PEOPLE SPEAK THE TRUTH THEY MAKE IT SEEM LIKE SHITS ALL CANDYLAND AND THEY GO ON THESE GRAND SKATE TRIPS AND HOLD HANDS N ROAST MARSHMELLOWS PLAYING GUITARS N SHIT FUCK ALL THAT .. SO MANY EMO EGO FAGS .. GOD CAN U IMAGINE KALIS IN A VAN FULLA GUITAR PLAYING FAGS DRESSED LIEK DILLIAN RIEDER !!

both amazing. two of my all time favorite videos, and the former having one of my all time favorite parts (the chief). that being said it is sort of ignorant to say the level of talent was higher then than it is now. the talent level is higher now, no real getting around that. don't let the nostalgia fool you. right now toy machine is ridiculous. the whole comparison though is regular since skating then vs skating now has changed so much.
-
austyn is a cool chill ass dude, he was really approachable and easy to talk to in person. the silas shit didnt seem like an insult at all, he was giving him praise.
-

I don't see this part? Did they take it out? Austyn is one of my new favourites, he fucking rips.

Hmmm, edited some stuff out of the interview from the way it originally was I see. Burton give you a little nudge nudge?

Way to reach out to the potential customers dude.
Maybe that should be your new slogan "you will just have to deal with it"
And apparently that interview got censored, anything else I missed? I didn't see the part where anybody talked shit on Daryl, just that he got on quickly based on Janoski's word.
-
and that's exactly why i don't like habitat & aws they both have sick rider and history. but since burton took it over they slowly lost they style

It originally said something like "Daryl Angel got on basically because of Stefan Janoski which I don't even want to talk about."
A whole question Getz answered about the issue of Austyn not getting along with Daryl got taken out, too.
-
fuck this censored bullshit. nieratko must be bending over for the skateboard fcc.

someone please elaborate. i've always wondered how he got on with a pro model waiting for him when he really didn't deserve it at that point. can't imagine he would have sold too many boards when he turned pro. i was pleasantly surprised by how much i liked his origin part though.
i don't give a fuck about this east coast/west coast bullshit you fags are always talking about. The skill level of this team is of the charts, everyone on the team has a distinctive style that you all should appreciate, and the product is the best in the industry. any opinion other than habitat is fucking sick should be disregarded.
it seems to me like silas and austyn have resolved their issues, if any, in their own way. am i the only one that was psyched to read how stoked kerry is on guru? def my favorite part in the flick.
-
they censored the shit out of these interviews! nieratko, espn and habitat are all fucking lame now. are you serious? you're afraid the consumer's not gonna by your wood sticks anymore cuz Austin doesn't get along with Daryl and Silas, or because Getz isn't hyped that Stefan got Daryl on? hahaha, skateboarding is so fucking lame nowadays. Andy Roy needs to come through and penetrate some shit! like a real, uncensored man! haha.

Yeah, what's with the weird edits? Everything from the "Silas doesn't look like he can even push" to the "Stefan Renaud" thing got hacked.
Neiratko, you don't even skate. So you're just some kind of 40 year old super fan? Yeah... creepy.
-
Joking? I thought Silas and Austyn always got along. Maybe a joke that didn't translate to text very well so it was pulled before the flood gates opened.
Getz is working on a website I heard.

Wld it be too much to ask for an email of the original? I read the posts before the interview and doing so made it seem like slap was overanalyzing

Austyn Gillette
What was the highlight of making the new Habitat video?
This video we filmed with Marius and that was pretty cool because I was with him a lot. I traveled a lot with this video. I spent a lot of time in Europe, that was one of the main highlights. Filming is pretty hard sometimes so maybe just going to cool places was the highlight.
Get in any trouble in Europe?
Yes, yes, yes we did. We got kicked out of the apartment in Germany thanks to me. That was my fault. We were just making dinners for girls and it got loud and cops came. I can?t really say much more.
You were evicted for making a loud dinner?
Evicted! Exactly. That?s my story.
What?s your best Tim O?Conner story?
You love that guy, huh? I don?t know; he?s pretty normal lately. I don?t have any good ones. He?s on a leash now.
It?s the wife?s doing, huh?
I?m not going to say. I don?t know what he?s doing.
On the other end of the spectrum, What?s your best Fred Gall story?
Wow. We went to Macao and it?s basically like the Las Vegas of China. It?s an island that?s Fred Gall-Land. Anything bad you could get into, he got into. He kept us up for hours and we had a Fred-Over. We were up the entire trip. That was pretty cool. We?ve had wild times every trip.
Who has the best part?
Haven?t seen it. I?ve just been getting texts and emails from people that saw it. I?m kind of scared.
Being on Habitat, did you learn to play the guitar in 7 days?
It didn?t take that long. We had a four-day trial run. If you can strum a song you?re on.
And that kept you on the team?
No. Lasting trips with Fred and getting in physical fights with Brenan is what did it. It?s weird. I got tortured and I know Silas got harshed a good amount getting on the team from Renaud but the recent additions to the team didn?t have to do anything. Marius got on in one night. Daryl got on basically because Stefan and I don?t want to talk about that situation. No one is getting harshed to get on anymore. It?s easy nowadays.
At any point during filming, did you get so frustrated watching Silas skate that you wanted to pull a Tanya Harding?
I don?t skate with Silas. I don?t get along with him too well. He?s bitter and I?m not bitter and we don?t get along together. We really don?t work well together and we?ve both accepted it. I?ve seen him skate in person and it?s really annoying because he can do anything and he doesn?t look like that kind of person. He doesn?t look like someone who is even capable of pushing. He does the most incredible tricks I?ve ever seen in my life. He?s probably one of the best out there. He?s rad to watch in person.
Kerry Getz
How was making this video different than making previous Habitat videos?
It was way different for me because it wasn?t my main focus. It wasn?t announced that we needed full parts in the video; it was more like they needed 10-15 tricks from us because they were basing the whole video around the new guys that came on the team in the past 3 or 4 years. And we wanted to do like a documentary of Habitat over the past ten years. That was my take on it and then when it came out I was bummed that I didn?t have the time to put more effort in. I thought it was more for the ams and I got this other thing I?m working on real hard.
Can you talk about the other thing you?re working on?
I can?t. I?d like to but I don?t want to get it out there because I?m running into trademark issues already. I?m working on big stuff to launch this thing in the next year.
But next year we can expect to see a whole lot more Kerry Getz footage?
Yes, exactly.
What was the highlight of making this video?
The highlight was Guru. He?s such a rad dude and his footage was blowing my mind.
Who has the best part?
Absolutely Guru has the best part. Guru and Silas are right there; it?s about a tie.
I didn?t know Austin and Silas are far from being BFFs.
There?s a lot going on over there. I don?t know; that?s some West Coast stuff, man. I?m so far out of all that stuff like who is fighting with who, who hates who, who is talking about who. I just stay on my side of the campfire and shut up. I just recently heard that Austyn and Daryl don?t like each other and I never knew that. Now you?re telling me Austyn and Silas don?t like each other. Someone has issues over there; just keep me out of it. It?s high school games.
Last we spoke you were thinking about making the contest comeback but I haven?t seen you in any of these contest. What happened?
I tried, man. I gave it a shot. I entered Copenhagen and I did ok. All the traveling and the doing bad in them I was like, ?Why am I doing this?? I felt like I couldn?t keep up with any of those, especially guys with training facilities. I lost my training facility when Kalis and all those dudes moved out of Philly. I had nowhere to go to in the winter. And I like jam formats but after that 10-minute session I?m done. I can?t last the whole weekend. I realized why I stopped doing them. You realize when you shouldn?t be entering them anymore, when you?re getting shut out every time and not doing well. I felt like there was no reason for me to be there.
My last question is, how come Kyle Nicolson didn?t get on Habit and he ended up on Shellfish Skateboards?
I don?t know, man. Skateboarding is a critical thing and Habitat is a tough company to get on and they pick and choose. I don?t even want to talk about that?it sucks.
But we can agree that Kyle rips, right?
I agree that he should be on Habitat. He is one of the best East Coast skateboarders right now and in the entire world. He rips and he just turned 21 and he can outskate almost anybody I?ve ever seen. The kid is unbelievable. He can skate everything and kill it. I really wish that Habitat would have done something with him and gave him a chance to get out there.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
done. full and unedited. thanks for keeping it real Chris.

Selfish is a joke, they will not last more than a couple years max. There is not one heavy hitter on the team, and no a heavy weight does not count. Jereme Rogers will never be taken seriously again in skateboarding, and honestly he never really was. He was the red headed stepchild of the PJ ladd video, and Girl and was never considered to be one of the best of those eras by anyone who's opinion means anything. Don't try to bring up some stupid ass transworld award as those don't count either. The worst part is the guy thinks he's the best thing ever or at least top 3 hahaha, what a joke. The sad truth is that most people know he is decent at skating and is just a kook and they feel bad for him. That's why they let him skate contests and say what's up to him and claim they will back his company. I'm not trying to be a hater or a dick I'm simply stating the facts here. Selfishrep you're either a clueless no nothing who doesn't skate or you're in denial, either way it will not change the fact that Selfish will not make it past the next couple of years and even if it does it will be in serious debt and nothing more than a the laughing stock of the industry behind your backs of course.

I think you need to learn when to shut the fuck up.

I cant stand Getz. Worst personality out there. Doing demos, breaking his board and walking out og there ig the skatings not good. Taking anger outbreaks out on people around him. :-X

ughhhhh read the post before his, idiot.

kind of weird that a relatively new guy on an established brand would feel comfortable putting out there that he doesnt like some of his teammates. i dont have rose colored glasses about the situation (i get that its difficult to get along with everyone) but its just better to keep that stuff to yourself. i guess austyn is still pretty young and is making rash decisions.

or hes just not a pussy about saying his own thoughts. a concept a lot of people around here do not understand
-
I had a feeling after reading austyns comment that people would take that and run with it. To consider that they're on the same team, and that he does not seem too worried about letting that comment get published.
-
this can't be the first time two guys on the same team don't get along. its not a big deal.

nah man, i'm pretty sure this is the first time this has happened in professional sports. this is a pretty BIG DEAL.
-
HAHA austyn calling out silas for being a hater, and then being exposed as a hater in the next few questions. I love it.
-
I <3 Haters
-
I thought he was being sarcastic before I read Getz interview. The last thing an Am should be talking about is how he do not get along with the pros.
-
why? you think he would give a shit if he got kicked off? he could be on any team he wants right now
-
^ I see your perspective
but lets hypothetically say that he does get kicked off of habitat. I think the more thorough skate companies would definitely second guess putting him on if he has no problem throwing his teamates under the bus.
I can see the interviews now....
So how is life now that you are on Chocolate, Austyn?
Yeah its great, I saw Anthony Pappalardo suck a dick for some meth. It was crazy, the dude is pure east coast though.

Google web cache is your friend. Hope this works for you all.
what? how the? :o you just taught me something about the internet today
awesome that selfish pasted that to their website; proud as shit that they picked some dude up sloppy seconds style.
-
every rider selfish has or gets will be sloppy seconds, you think they're out there developing talent?
selfish should get nyjah

i just find it hard to believe that silas is actually bitter about anything. he has a shoe out for adidas he was SOTY everyone loves his skating and he had last part in the new habitat video. so between all of that please tell me what silas needs to slit his wrists over.
-
He's five foot four.

I think what he meant to say was "he has a problem with me, I don't have a problem with him"
Also, anybody else notice that ESPN editted shellfish -> selfish?
Its kind of funny when you think about it. I'd rather ride for a company called shellfish, and would assume they were mocking me if they called it selfish.

Austyn Gillete is the future.
-
ughhhhh read the post before his, idiot.
Yeah, he has a tendency to try too hard. It's pretty funny. Just enjoy it.
-

O-ho!

All this love for Kyle Nicholson is mind blowing! And I'm from and live on the east coast. I'm here to tell you that the guy has never impressed me and always come off like a reject, so its not surprising to me he rides for Axion and Selfish. I'm actually surprised he has more than a shop sponsor.
Kyle might enjoy living the scumlife, but he's good as shit. Seen him skate in person in the last year? His axion part wasn't even half bad

Habitat seems fucked up now
photosynthesis era > origin era

While I thoroughly enjoy reading about this type of gossip, I don't really think it's young and aspiring amateur skater's place to throw these things out there like that. I'm sure this goes on in other teams as well, behind the scenes, but to a certain aspect you should treat it like a job and this is certainly not the kind of "team dynamics" any employer wants to read about.
Austyn is not doing a very good job here. But he had the best part in the video and maybe he's a bit too aware of that.
-
I liked Austyn before but now I really like him.
-
Habitat use to be the illest,
now they remind me of toy machine.
They had the best team, originality and concept.
Still trying to live that dream with some of these new dudes that don't fit and lack any originality.
Have you seen Origin? I'd say there is very little cookie cutter action from any of the new guys. So to say they lack "any" originality is short sighted at best. You want to say that Tim O'Connor hasn't done 5 tricks in the last 5 years, I don't know, maybe he hasn't.
-
When i say originality, i am not talking just about tricks.
Im talking about the style/characther of a person when they skate,
it sounds like an odd concept today but people back in the day use to have distinct styles where you could depict who the person was just from the style.
or maybe im just getting old.
thats probaly it.

You care about the character of the people you watch skate? Dude, most skaters are scumbags. I hope you don't like the anti-hero team
-
Maybe he was bothered by how many button-up shirts there were in that video.

i understand what you're getting at in some respect, but there are so many skaters i like because of off-board attributes. Walker ryan for example, hardly my favorite skateboarder trick wise, but i am hyped on the dude because he is also a UC student (w/out transferring!)

yead dude, i think its rad he's balancing a full time real education with professional skateboarding. Sorry my favorite dudes arent 16 year old high school dropouts who can barely string a sentence together.
edit- not that i don't appreciate their skateboarding

Fuck that. You know how many people get jobs as undergrads? It is probably the smart decision on his part, but it doesn't make him any more likable.
Education should not be used as a determinant of a person's values or worth.
Ted Kazinski went to Harvard.

Daryl is one of the nicest dudes i've met in person, not sure what i think about austyn now.

Watch the habitat video. You should think he's awesome. I'm glad he's a bit of a prick.
