Celebs who love skateboarding

[Telly]

You know what I don’t even mind pink she always seemed like heart was in the right place apart from all the pop songs and general kookiness that’s sick she can skate a little

Pink sings at her concerts and her song “trouble”
Was written by Tim Armstrong of rancid (or lint of operation ivy).  She’s fucking rad.

I beg to differ. The jacket completes the ensemble.

Noah Lennox aka Panda Bear from Animal Collective took up skateboarding in his late 20's/early 30's or something. He's friends with Atiba, Spanky, Patrick O'Dell, Jason Dill and probably some other skaters too. In the credits to Mindfield, the only person Jason Dill thanks is Noah (which I found curiously odd for some reason). The music video for his song "Comfy in Nautica" was directed by O'Dell and features Clark Hassler.

this prolly already got mentioned but i heard dave chappelle was a freedom plaza era head.. could be nonsense tho

[Loady McGee]

Does DJ Douggpound count as a celebrity? He's probably most famous from various Tim & Eric projects and The Eric Andre Show but he works mostly behind the camera. Anyway, he got tricks in all the Fancy Lad videos. Can clearly see why they are friends, they share the same sense of humour. Maybe it was through their connection with him they got a short video on adult swim.

Nope. Chappelle got into skating after he ended the show. He mostly just called parks and asked them to stay open for him to push around on his own in the off-hours. Absolutely nothing wrong with that though. When stories about him started popping up in 2004 in Tampa and Raleigh, people had nothing but great things to say about him. He just wanted to learn more about skating, have fun and meet people.

He also did this song “Atiba Song” I believe for a camera test.   Wish he released it as a single

Yeah, Person Pitch is probably still in my top 10 best albums of all times.

Regarding Atiba Song, I remember that I had it as an mp3 but maybe it was just directly ripped from Atiba's video with skateboarding sounds in the background, I can't remember. Which reminds me, Panda did use some samples of skateboarding sounds on Person Pitch on the song Take Pills. At least I think it is.

Anybody notice Seth Meyers uses skateboarding in his jokes a lot on late night?

Is he down with the sickness?
Or is this an elaborate way of him saying see you later boi?

I think it’s just a writer putting them in

[Scott Chegg]

Probably been mentioned already but J Mascis is pretty good at skating, there was a music video for a dinosaur jr song were he was skating around, was actually pretty cool.
Theres an English dj called mallgrab who is also decent at skating, his music is not really my cup of tea though

I wouldnt say hes uber famous or anything but the comedian mark normand can rip.

That makes me happy because to me, hes like a new era norm macdonald

He even says one of his happiest moments in life was his first 360 flip down 3 stairs.

That's skate rat shit

For real? Any sources, links on that?

I never would've imagined it, but it would be awesome if true. I'm really not into most of stand up/podcast comedians, but Mark is cool. I also stumbled upon him through Norm, who is a fuckin beacon of humour, probably the smartest and funniest guy last 30 years.

Hes talked alot about it on podcasts. But the 360 flip story I just heard the other day on some really obscure podcast. I'll check my youtube history and see if I can find it. He also says he was really bummed out because he lost most of his skate footage in the hurricane Katrina floods. Hes mentioned it a few times and seems genuinely bummed

And I totally agree about norm.

 I can't say he loves skateboarding  but he knew the downtown scene

🎶 My rhymes turn a new page like Mark Foley
And touch kids like when Larry Clark gave the part to Chloe
Rest in peace to Harold Hunter, the greatest from New York
Started out skatin for Zoo York
Word hangin out at The Gavin, I was very lucky
To talk to Rash' once I got past Derek Dudley
Got him on "Respiration", that's pre-Badu
Bet you Garnett Reid got a Matt Doo tattoo 🎶

[lk130]

Harold is a classic

[Freelancevagrant]

Not a celeb, but I’ve skated with Ross from ceremony a few times.
