Interviewed Aaron for Heckride. I skipped the 90's in order to not rehash what he talked about on his Bobshirt and Nine Club interviews. We did talk a bit about Super Champion Funzone. Go read if you want and enjoy. Art by @doublesteveburger

thanks @Monkey_Mcpott @doublesteveburger
I can't believe Vice passed on a Jason Lee Epicly Later'd. Glad Mezza left that sinkhole for Nike.

Thanks for asking about Super Champion. That video really deserves all the praise. This part made my day, this just seems so out of character for Sturt based on everything i've heard about him:

Quote

one day Rick called me into his office and said, “Come checkout this voicemail.” It was a voicemail by Dan Sturt talking about how much he loved [Super Champion Funzone] and talking about specific segments that he enjoyed. I remember being surprised that he would even watch our videos at the time. I remember him saying, “I don’t know about that guy at the end though with that happy message, you could have done without that (Laughs).”

Also it is crazy to hear that one of the NY premieres of Pretty Sweet was a dud. At the Tampa premiere, shit was overly packed to the brim and dudes including myself were fucking yelling and screaming, one of the best premeiere's i've been to. Say what you want about PS (i was really bummed at who was in it vs. who wasn't) but seeing that shit in an actual theater with good sound was amazing. CK to Night Moves honestly was some moving shit in person.

That was really good. I always liked the tour edits he would put together. Seems like a pretty Genuine dude.

Also, fuck Vice for the hundredth time for what seems like ruining Epicly Later’d. At the very least upload all the old episodes. That series did so much for skating.

@Monkey_Mcpott > Jenkem for quality content

Haven't watched SCFZ in a while but it's what I would put on if a non-skater asked me what I loved about skateboarding.

Really dope interview.

Good to know that my brother and I aren't the only people who love Super Champion Funzone.

Koston's line at the school skating to Phoenix so dope.

Mike Carroll had some dope lines in it as well.

Great video.

James Capps, Griffin Gass. Surnames both recently slang terms for lying. Just found this interesting.

Needed that mid-day pick me up read, stoked that Rip moved to California and is travelling the world. My buddies and I still quote his lines till today.

Edit:

Got me on a BA trip, best 360 flips ever.

Thanks for the kind words guys! As you can tell by the interview I was a huge fan of SCF when I grew up and would watch it daily. Rip and Gonz had so many great quotes.

Dope interview. Meza's always been dope. Dope.

Great interview, Meza is one of those guys that must have a million stories about everyone and everything. Like everyone else in the thread really big fan of Super Champion Funzone and I'm glad it got some love.
