Title: Dan Drehobl
Post by: G.Lewis on March 06, 2011, 11:08:04 AM

I've always been a fan.  I used to watch his "Free Your Mind" part on a daily basis when it came out.  Legend.

One of my all time favorites. Think - Damage is such an underrated video, his lines at China Banks are unmatched to this day!!

Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, by the fire
All alone you and I
Nothing around
But the sound of my heart
And your sighs

had the misfortune to meet the drebol when i was working at a resturant 15 years ago. He looked like a 65 year old teenager and acted like a dick, i made sure that me and his food had some 'alone time' before I brought it to him.

I met him at the Krooked Kannada day demo last year super down to earth but quiet guy. I guess he quit drinking after his diabetes got out of hand and he was starting to get real fucked up.

I interviewed him right after and he went out the following day and shot some photos and just sent them to me (some were older from the tryfe blog) but still he didn't have to do that and I thought it was super cool of him.

Interview is online here:

Watching the Thrasher China Banks doc reminded me how incredible Dan Drehobl's skating is-
