Celebs who love skateboarding

[figureitout]

Caleb and Patton's daughter are the only two in the thread that aren't complete Kenny's.

[CrumblingInfrastructure]

These two lyrics just popped into my head:

Joe Jackson - I'm The Man

Kung fu
That was one of my good ones
Well what's a few broken bones
When we all know it's good clean fun
Skateboards
I've almost made them respectable

Full lyrics: https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/108247/

Pavement - Range Life

Run from the pigs, the fuzz,
The cops, the heat
Pass me your gloves, there's crime
And it's never complete
Until you snort it up or shoot it down
You're never gonna feel free
Out on my skateboard
The night is just hummin'
And the gum smacks are the pulse
I'll follow if my walkman fades
But I've got absolutely no one,
No one but myself to blame
Don't worry
We're in no hurry

Full lyrics: https://genius.com/Pavement-range-life-lyrics

Joe Jackson's aint much, but Pavements nine words (Out on my skateboard
The night is just hummin') and sound captured skating at night by yourself really well imho.

Anybody know anymore? (Except for usual suspects such as skatecore bands or whatever they're called and of course Johnny Rad from Animal Chin.)

Aesop Rock has a bunch of songs about skating and has dropped old video names referencing powell videos and hokus pokus and other stuff. He’s tight with Jeremy Fish who has done a bunch of stuff with DLX and skateshops.

From what I remember, Aesop Rock exclusively rides Habitat boards.

There was a thread of celebrities who skated awhile back....

(These guys can actually skate well)
Jeff Amendt from Pearl Jam.
Izzy Stradlin from Guns and Roses
Rikki Rachtman from Headbangers Ball.

There’s also some old vert footage of Fred Durst but I don’t want to google Fred durst

[close]

Jeff Ament also has funded over 20 skate parks through his charity/company including the rebuild of the Seattle Center Skatepark. All those dudes from the grunge era skated at some point or another. I remember talking to Ben Sheperd about it when I met him.

Both Steve turner and mark arm from Mudhoney are longtime skaters.  I got a buddy who lives up in Seattle (and is an over 50 skater) who knows all those guys and has plenty of stories about skating with them over the years.  Pretty rad scene

Yeah Mudhoney is awesome, I saw a free show they did in Georgetown and afterwards we had Chad Channing (Drummer from nirvana who did Bleach) at our glass studio and made a piece for him. I met Dave Grohl at an old place I worked at and got to talk with him for a bit.

Didn't the dude from My Name is Earl used to skate?

I skated with Aesop at Nike park a few times in Portland. He’s a super nice dude and has a mean impossible. He’s also like 9 feet tall.

Edit: just saw the post above and he’s at Nike park. This is probably around when I was there with him haha

I wanna see J skate

[lk130]

Lmao

[HyenaChaser]

Never really listened to this dudes music, but I know the name and I was surprised he can actually do a few tricks



And of course:

[DISTANT RUMOURS]

I wanna see J skate

There is some recent mini ramp footage of him out there while he's skating his mini with his kid (or at least I think it's his kid).

And it said that he 'came back' to skating or something like that and 'punks being punks'.

Long story short, you could see he was a bit wobbly but you could also see that he had tricks on lock back in the day and the muscle memory was still there...

Feeble stall, rocks to fakie, 50-50 grinds and he came out of the mini really comfortable. You could just see he skates/skated alot.

@ 1:10

not only does he skate, but he's literally the nicest guy ever

[manysnakes]

I don’t know if he specifically skates, but Danny McBride has mentioned the Bones Brigade in all three of his shows (Eastbound and Down, Vice Principals, Righteous Gemstones). I assume he was probably another kid in the 80s who tick-tocked and loves Powell
