Outside of the early Girl guys (who I believe were shitty to young Tom Penny at Radlands) other skaters tend to have a positive association with Koston.  Barring his IG outbursts, was that Epicly Laterd the only time skaters talked about not liking him or that he was annoying?

Great interview as Chops always delivers, Caeser was very open and honest. Loved his skating back in the day

Swing and a miss on Caeser's rambling self-scribed intro. Not sure if it was supposed to be funny or self-deprecating or authentic or what.

Swing and a miss according to who? WarmUpZone; hero member of a message board? You sound like that guy on the sidelines who's either too scared to get in the game or not good enough to be called upon. Either way, I'm neither and thankfully so, because you seem like a lame person. (Confirmed: "I hope God makes you break your leg" is your chosen text and you're 43?) Sucks it all passed you by huh?

Solid first post. Welcome to Slap, Caesar.

Damn that was a heavy read. And also hilarious at times.

One of the most underrated skaters of all time. Definitely one of the best skate styles and the best fits of all time too. I'm sure it's hard but he shouldn't look back and be so hard on himself. Me and every one I know considered him one of the best dudes to watch in all of skateboarding.

Great read as always for Chromeball. Recognized the name but he was before my time.

His Silver part is so sick! Never seen it before. You could easily copy/paste that part into Mouse, show it to someone that had never seen it, and it would fit in seamlessly.

I subscribed to Big Bother way back and for one issue they just included a cassette tape of people prank calling Cesar.  It was pretty funny.

I don't have it.  It's back at my parent's house.  It was all the old World pros and the Big Brother staff.  They just kept calling him and the whole thing was set to the song, "Smooth Operator" which I think was sung by Sade.  I think the joke was he was on Santa Cruz, which was considered lame at the time and not on a World company.

This prank call is talked about in the interview and has a link with a timestamp to the call.

I've always found it interesting how rumors get started. It's just super bizarre: the variety of stories I've heard and read about myself: Started a shoe company. Nope. Got into real estate. When? Became a professional gambler. I wish. Became a dentist like my father? Pappi? You out there? And now ALL the old World guys and the (entire) Big Brother staff kept calling me? And you wrote that with such confidence too.

One) I wasn't that relevant that "all the old World guys and the Big Brother staff" were going to take time out of their lives to make multiple calls to me. It was a single twenty minute phone call, that included two men and one female.

Two) I'm not that stupid that I would repeatedly fall for this same "prank" on several occasions. (This argument is debatable though.)

And.

Three) The joke was them playing the song Smooth Operator over a call in which I was probably anything but smooth (I refuse to re-listen to it). I was a late bloomer when it came to women. Being a bi-racial black male, I had a lot of insecurities going on at the time, and was super shy and awckward. Add that with the fact that I had a high-pitched voice and well...comedy gold for all!

Anyway, I got a goddamn number (can't remember if I tried calling it or not, so I don't remember if it was her real number, but I got a number nonetheless!). And, then after she hung up, one of the guys tries to keep a normal conversation going on, but I just hung up on him mid-sentence. Like, why do I want to chat with some random dude? But, they edited that part out because it's not cool getting hung up on and life's all about looking cool.

And @funeral_tuxedo, I seem like a very strange person to you? I can handle strange, but "very" strange? That's a bit much. So, I want to let you know that I resent you as a person and hope that you stub your toe at 11:34 am on Tuesday. (I'm super normal, see?)

And, to nonickname...like I'd want to have a beer with either of those men. Please.

And, to those curious about my last name, it is in fact Indian (Southern Asia Indian). My mother is full blooded Italian while my father was half black, half Indian. And, I identify as black because for some reason I can't shop at the Target near my house without security following me around the store. And, I'm pretty sure it's not because I'm Italian.

And back to you WarmUpZone, I'm currently sending off my writing to a skater/editor who actually enjoyed my writing and DM'd me for some more. Swing and a miss? GTFO! How about you get in the game, step up to the plate, and send me some footage of your skating, and a few examples of your writing, so that I can analyze you as well. Don't be shy, bro. It's only fair.

And, to the handful of people who've compared me to Hank Chinaski... I love you. He's my favorite!

Always loved his skating and when I read the intro I’m no literary critic but really liked it and even looked back to see if he actually wrote it and not Eric.....I skim read everything. I also love that he is able to reply to the people trolling because 1- his skating was far beyond their ability and he knows it and 2- he’s courageous enough to put his writing out there and it’s good.......

Thanks for the correction.  I was like ten when I had that tape.  I also believe there was content from a character, "Captan Stoney" reviewing weed or bongs and stuff.

Caesar's debut pro graphic idea:

"I came up with the idea of an overshadowing Klansman with a chain around his neck and a skeleton key attached to it. Then, there was an attractive white female below, looking up in admiration with a keyhole in her forehead."

That would be sick if someone like Cliver drew this up and put out a guest board for him.

The first time I saw you skating was on a video I watched in Sumo skate shop in Sheffield in 1994 or so. A 441VM maybe? At first glance I thought you were Ray Barbee. Not many people have such good style and such good trousers.

A little while after seeing you skate on video...I went home to my small town in South Wales and broke my deck. I had to go to the local surf shop to get a deck. They usually had really out of date shit but they had just got some new ones in and they had your blue one with the Tiger head on it. I was stoked and told them how good you were and I made up a load of tricks you did on the video that I only half remembered because in those days you saw something once and carried it in your head not on your phone. I bought your deck of course.

Sadly...it snapped within a few days of buying it and I threw it into my dad's shed. It lay there for about five years and when they sold the house and were moving out I found it and it brought back lots of good memories.

I would just like to say that your influence reached right across the world. Although it was probably felt like a very short time and that you had a very small amount of influence...it was a time where every second of media and every piece of product was burning itself into the minds of impressionable young skaters. We were dreaming of doing what you were doing and we had no chance of doing it ourselves.

Nice one Caesar! Loved the interview and I hope you do more stuff off the back of this!

How about you get in the game, step up to the plate, and send me some footage of your skating, and a few examples of your writing, so that I can analyze you as well. Don't be shy, bro. It's only fair.

And, to the handful of people who've compared me to Hank Chinaski... I love you. He's my favorite!

This shit is amazing! Pro’s popping up here will never get old.

I think you’re a good writer Caesar and I always enjoyed your skating, so hopefully we can see more of either/both.

I don't have it.  It's back at my parent's house.  It was all the old World pros and the Big Brother staff.  They just kept calling him and the whole thing was set to the song, "Smooth Operator" which I think was sung by Sade.  I think the joke was he was on Santa Cruz, which was considered lame at the time and not on a World company.

I've always found it interesting how rumors get started. It's just super bizarre: the variety of stories I've heard and read about myself: Started a shoe company. Nope. Got into real estate. When? Became a professional gambler. I wish. Became a dentist like my father? Pappi? You out there? And now ALL the old World guys and the (entire) Big Brother staff kept calling me? And you wrote that with such confidence too.

One) I wasn't that relevant that "all the old World guys and the Big Brother staff" were going to take time out of their lives to make multiple calls to me. It was a single twenty minute phone call, that included two men and one female.

Two) I'm not that stupid that I would repeatedly fall for this same "prank" on several occasions. (This argument is debatable though.)

And.

Three) The joke was them playing the song Smooth Operator over a call in which I was probably anything but smooth (I refuse to re-listen to it). I was a late bloomer when it came to women. Being a bi-racial black male, I had a lot of insecurities going on at the time, and was super shy and awckward. Add that with the fact that I had a high-pitched voice and well...comedy gold for all!

Anyway, I got a goddamn number (can't remember if I tried calling it or not, so I don't remember if it was her real number, but I got a number nonetheless!). And, then after she hung up, one of the guys tries to keep a normal conversation going on, but I just hung up on him mid-sentence. Like, why do I want to chat with some random dude? But, they edited that part out because it's not cool getting hung up on and life's all about being cool.

And @funeral_tuxedo, I seem like a very strange person to you? I can handle strange, but "very" strange? That's a bit much. So, I want to let you know that I resent you as a person and hope that you stub your toe at 11:34 am on Tuesday. (I'm super normal, see?)

And, to nonickname...like I'd want to have a beer with either of those men. Please.

And, to those curious about my last name, it is in fact Indian (Southern Asia Indian). My mother is full blooded Italian while my father was half black, half Indian. And, I identify as black because for some reason I can't shop at the Target near my house without security following me around the store. And, I'm pretty sure it's not because I'm Italian.

The first time I saw you skating was on a video I watched in Sumo skate shop in Sheffield in 1994 or so. A 441VM maybe? At first glance I thought you were Ray Barbee. Not many people have such good style and such good trousers.

A little while after seeing you skate on video...I went home to my small town in South Wales and broke my deck. I had to go to the local surf shop to get a deck. They usually had really out of date shit but they had just got some new ones in and they had your blue one with the Tiger head on it. I was stoked and told them how good you were and I made up a load of tricks you did on the video that I only half remembered because in those days you saw something once and carried it in your head not on your phone. I bought your deck of course.

Sadly...it snapped within a few days of buying it and I threw it into my dad's shed. It lay there for about five years and when they sold the house and were moving out I found it and it brought back lots of good memories.

I would just like to say that your influence reached right across the world. Although it was probably felt like a very short time and that you had a very small amount of influence...it was a time where every second of media and every piece of product was burning itself into the minds of impressionable young skaters. We were dreaming of doing what you were doing and we had no chance of doing it ourselves.

Nice one Caesar! Loved the interview and I hope you do more stuff off the back of this!

Well, thank you very much for sharing that story. I have a really bad habit of focusing on the negative as opposed to appreciating the positive. Like @funeral_tuxedo who thinks what? Writing about being a virgin makes me very strange? I'm inclined to write back and tell him of the forty plus women that I've made sweet passion-filled love to, and how that's not bad for a shy kid who got a late start, but that would be super petty and I don't want to get any deeper in this messaging board vortex because I have a feeling there's no end to it.

So...I appreciate the support and sorry that board didn't last that long. And, I've been complimented on my style, trick selection, certain parts, certain photos and occasionally on my writing, but those pale in comparison to my now favorite compliment if all time. Because, you gotta respect a man who's able to recognize and acknowledge a good pair of trousers. Cheers!

Oh yeah, and... @funeral_tuxedo I've made sweet passion-filled to forty plus women now. Not bad for a shy kid who got a late start.

I don't think that being a virgin at 20 something is strange at all. I think that as a 40 something adult choosing to use phrases like grabbing pussy and getting your hands on a pussy in an interview is very strange. I'm genuinely sorry if I hurt your feelings though. My apologies.

This is why I love slap. Random old pro vs random posters. This doesn’t get to happen in real life.

it must be crazy when chico sells you something and the tables switch from "give me my money chico" to "giving my money to chico"
