"Unofficial" Pals Questions - Mike Sinclair
« on: July 19, 2019, 06:27:01 PM »
Meeting Mike on Sunday, ask away. Will make a post before filming begins marking the cutoff. Keep in mind guests can skip over questions so try to keep the questions good and the troll questions to a minimum.

Name: Mike Sinclair

Known for: Most Famous Team Manager, KOTR, Contest Judge, Larry Perkins, All Black Everything, Big Pink

Interest: Pugs, Pizza, Mini Ramps, Road Trips, Fajitas.

Shalom





Edit: Here you go guys!! Big thanks to Feedmeseymour for the edit as always. More episodes to come! Once again, keep in mind that guests can skip any question so keep them good and don’t be surprised if your question got skipped because it sucked.

I encountered a few technical difficulties where a big chunk of the interview was deleted. Thanks to Mike for being a good sport and re filming that section. A lot of good and funny stories in this one, enjoy!



Preview of next guest at the end of the episode, even though I’m sure most of you guys have probably already seen who it is haha

Tell us the “whole story” between you and The Gipper.

Who was the team rider demanding to bring their bike on tour that you talked about in your Crail Couch?

Ishod and Westgate were going to almost ride for Toy Machine?

You were prescribed lemonheads by a doctor?

Tell us about the bet with Kenny Hughes that made him mad.

Bobby Worrest was almost on Dekline?

Blake Carpenter was on Foundation flow before Toy Flow and you didn’t realize it?

Tell us about the boner line at the courthouse.

Tell us about the shoe you threw at your girlfriend during a contest.

Is there any other team rider who comes close to driving you insane as Nick Merlino?

What's the biggest bribe you've given someone to try a trick?

Are there any riders you miss having on tour trips?

Got any embarrassing tour moments you don't mind sharing with us whether about you or a rider?

I asked a bunch of questions, so you can skip some if you want. Thanks for being a good sport.

You've gotta order pizza right now, where do you get it from, and what are the toppings?

Tell us about the time that you went the fastest you ever went on a skateboard.

Where is the weirdest place you've ever slept?

Have you ever dropped in on a vert ramp?

Have you ever shit your pants?

Foundation seems like a team that is heavy on the rails, and gaps, who has the best tech/flatground game?

As a contest judge, is there a new trick that has taken the place of the am shuffle?

What invert is the best invert?

What is your go to van playlist? What is the next song up, on your most recent personal playlist?

Who has the best miniramp sessions, and what is the best thing you've seen go down at one of those sessions?

What is something that you see in sponsor me tapes that make you say no/yes? More curious about the no

What is your favorite skateboarding memory?

If you had to name a skateboarder that should do a pals questions, who would you nominate?

Tell your side of the story of how Sierra Fellers and Dan Murphy were kicked off Foundation, because from their stories it makes you sound like a big dick while you're overwhelmingly referred to as a likable person.

What really happened with JLay getting the boot from Toy?

What're your grounds for kicking someone of a team?

Who's a bigger pain in the ass- Nick Merlino or Billy Marks? Why?

What snacks you fuckin with currently?

Does Larry still have an Agenda?

Did you eat all those snacks the 9 club had set up or did it feed the Foundation guys on the road?

Damn I left my bubbler at my parents house

Has Foundation risen in popularity in the past couple years with KOTR and Souvenir coming out?

Have you tried hooking up any of the foundation dudes with Nike?

When are the are the new Foundation/ Toy machine videos coming out?

What ever happened to that footage of Elijah Berle Overcrooking that 16 in NC? I had b side footage, held onto it for years.

What really happened with Gareth Stehr on Dekline? I like that he’s ripping again. I miss that amazing team Dekline had with Patrick Melcher, Gareth Stehr, Jason Adams, Matt Ball, Jason Lee, Chris Pastras, Shiloh Greathouse, Mike York. That was the best team.

What's your current set-up?

Any people you didn't pick up and now regret?

Most annoying rider to deal with when it comes to ordering boards?

If you could pick up anyone who would you pick up?

what’s up with the billy marks / nick t embezzlement comments ...

do you think foundation gets the respect it deserves? the brand has had a history of amazing skaters and videos but seems to fly under the radar among other “elite” industry brands

huge fan of you and your brands

What is the craziest thing an upcoming flow dude did to get himself kicked off the team?

Worst way a pro has spent his contest winnings?

What retired Toy/Foundation pro would you like to come along on the next tour? (Not as an attempt at comeback but just someone who would be super fun to have hop in the van.)

Do any of the companies you work for help the young dudes manage their money or prepare for life after skateboarding?

Do the companies assist the skaters in obtaining medical care? (insurance, extra pay that is supposed to go towards insurance, company doctors, doctors that are willing to work under the table, etc.?)

Has the ACA affected the skaters' ability to obtain medical care?

You're going out for a steak, how do you have it prepared? Also any steak sauce or just raw doggin it?

We've all heard that Jamie Thomas seems to be very controlling over certain things, does he do it in a flat out direct way or is he more passive aggressive about it?

Thoughts on Puggles?

Funniest way someone has asked for a box?

Thanks for taking some really dumb questions.

What was Marquis Preston like to deal with? He ripped.

Is Tod Swank a cool boss?  Seems like he would be.

Sunscreen or sunblock?

How do you think Kader is going to progress?

Do you have as much fun goofing of and talking shit with him as you do Billy Marks and Merlino?

Does it keep you feeling youthful being with the younger dudes, or is it draining?

Saw a Collin Provost board on the latest episode of the TV show Baskets, did they ask anyone for permission or how does that work?

Have you tried the new Reeses thins? How about the thicker chocolate ones, or are classic cups the best?
