“Unofficial" Pals Questions - Cyrus Bennett

[Monkey_Mcpott]

Meeting Cyrus tomorrow, 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: Cyrus Bennett

Known for: 917, Stussy, 360 flips, Chilly Bean, Trust Fall, How Original, Telluride CO, Hopps, Polar, Best Kickflip

Edit: Here you guys go, hope you enjoy. Cyrus was rad and am still surprised he agreed to do this considering he’s pretty shy. He didn’t hold back and was very honest. Also shout out to Johnny Wilson for lending me some clips for the interview.

How many times has Dill tried to poach you and Max from 917?

What's it like being pro for a company that's so loosely managed like 917? Is Alex heavily involved, or does it feel like he's over it?

Hey Cyrus I’m a huge fan

Any projects with nike in the works?

Whats the secret to your insane kickflips?

Tips for 180 fakie manny? You inspired me to learn them but I’m still not very consistent

Thanks g

[Tarquin]

Did you personally pick those two Melvins songs from your first 917 part? I love that Dale Crover EP.

Do you get involved much in the final edit of your parts or do you just leave it to whoever is in charge of the project?

Would you rather fight Sean Sheffey or ride for Revive for the rest of your skateboarding career?

Do you ever look at SLAP? Do you think most pros are lying when they say they don’t?

[straight]

Also why Stussy??

stussy makes high quality clothing and isn’t made by chinese slave labor like your favorite “core” brands with shitty fabrics . that’s my guess
