[adultofthesuburbs]

i met some of the circa combat team today when i was at this sketchy ass bank spot ontop of a train station.
Lizard King-nicest guy ever
Frank Gerwer-cool guy. kickflipped into the fucking bank
Abdias Rivera-he looked fucked up but he was cool i guess.

es demo about a month ago
cale nuske-nicest guy in history. gave me his board.
bobby worrest-kinda sarcastic but hes not a douche
mike anderson-really nice
kevin romar-really chill dude
rick mccrank-seems super stoked on skateboarding
javier sarmiento-nice guy

[TheFrontSeatLife]

Abdias is plenty nice just very quiet.

[adultofthesuburbs]

yeah. i admit that i was super intimidated by lizard king at first.

[adumb]

Tim Upson was a dick when I met him, and Julien was really nice, I thought it woulda been the other way around

[SkeeterValentine.]

we had a vox demo not too long ago, and i can say that i fucking hate vox now, cause none of them skated besides JT Aultz.

JTs i sweet fuckin dude, Drehobl on the other hand, is a dick. fuck him.

[Edward Penishands]

ran into jake johnson a wile ago at autumn, had a long conversation with him.  one of the nicest and most down to earth dudes.

[adultofthesuburbs]

Jake is the fucking homie.

[Koma]

Mike Carroll is a jerk, but in a good way....I was at a Girl demo and it was time for the product toss.  As mass of kids had accumulated under the ramp where the team was tossing product from.....Mike tried handing a new board to this little kid, but as the kid got a hold of the board, some punk tore it out of his hands....Mike jumped off of the ramp (beer in hand), snatched the board back, dumped beer all over the kid, and made sure that the younger kid got the board......He walked by me and said, "Did you see that kid? That kid was a little jerk.....I need another beer."   Funny Shit

[cheep]

clyde singleton: once or twice hes been cool when i see him at the bar or some shit, but mostly a dick
mike peterson: always real cool.  seems very humble.
kalis: awesome... hung out with him and stevie in philly back in 98 tripping on acid.  gave me a brand new workshop prototype deck and asked me if i wanted to go to NY with him, steve, and ryan gee that day to film for some transworld vid.
harold hunter: met him at a demo in dc back in 96.  really funny, and really nice.
john buchanan: always cool when i see him around jacksonville... tho ive never skated with him, its usually getting drunk downtown
ryan nix: dont know if it counts since he was just a 15 year old kid staying with billy lane at the time, but he was pretty cool.
chad fernandez: strangely nice...
elisa steamer: nice, but very standoffish... talked to her for quite a while in tampa a few years ago.

kill this thread and make one pros/ams that are nice. If people are dicks they aren't even worth to be brought up. Cool guys I've met: Nilton Neves, Andre Genovesi, gallant, justin eldridge, d way, chaney, langi, rickk, cards, BA, rip, chris nieratko, guy (smoked a cig with him at demo like 10+ yrs ago talking about tim dowling's listen and I've never seen mouse, lol), muska, cliff for like a minute, p-rod, jereme rogers, mike york, sumner, shit there is a shit load more but I can't remember. But there are a lot of pros/ams that don't talk/act friendly to people and give tough guy looks, not really feeling that but oh well. Props to the dudes who are down to earth and level with fools.

Also Senn, theotis, malcom watson, wussler, and hassan get nice guy awards too.

[peacepappies]

stefan and omar were the nicest dudes, came over when wiegers dunk got released.
wieger on the other hand is pretty much a dick. I asked him what was up with his boardsponsor
and he said "not telling, you kids put everything on the internet", or some shit like that.

I met matt miller and the rest of the zoo team a while ago and matt was superfriendly. i asked him what was up
with his transworld part (it wasnt out then) and we talked abit about skating and some of that.

I rarely approach people but here's a few memories from the vault:

Natas Kaupus - Remains my biggest influence in skateboarding. I saw him at a demo in Jersey at Ollie Pops early 90's and I fanned out and started skating near him because I was so hyped and ended up plowing him down somehow. I'm guessing we both were skating with our heads down. I apoligized like 10 X. Natas was pretty cool, totally aloof though.

Mike Vallely - I know Mike from skating anywhere in Jersey late 80's but this particular memory was the day he ollied frontside grabbed over the fence on top of the Brooklyn Banks wall. This is back when he was on Black Label. I didn't know he was going to show up. Me and my friend were sitting on the wall just looking at the fence and the fuck just walks up, looks at it, and then starts going for it. That dude has major pop off tranny.

Chris Cole - Chris is a nice kid. This is back when he was making the fresh to hesh transformation. We were calling him and his various henchmen "Chris Kool & The Gang". He was trying to shoot pictures for his Big Brother interview and we brought him to the Asbury pool thinking he was all flip tricks and ledge only and amazingly he shocked us with a backside disaster on the face wall.

Chris Swanson - Funniest dude when you get to know him. I told him to get rid of his gnarly unibrow and he let me shave it off for him.

Steve Caballero - Serious guy. Likes Cheerios. I was alittle worked and I asked him about his neck, why it's bent, forgot what he said why.

Brian Wenning - Enigma child. This is pre- sponsorship pre- urban Wenning @ Eatontown skate nite. He always had these real small bearing cover wheels with flatspots and I thought he'd skate faster with newer wheels. I offered him a pair of barely used Spits but he was more than happy with his lumpy 40 mm duds.

Ethan Fowler - Met him at a Vans contest in Asbury during his black ankle sock goth phase. Stoked on his skating. I thought he'd have a real anti-social persona but I was wrong. Scott Bourne was alittle anti-social though. But I guess that's what happens when you're the lone straight edge guy at a bar like he was.

Josh Kalis - Never a fan. Bumped into him at Love when he ran his mouth to one of my friends for littering like he owned the place. I got alittle irritated at first but then we got talking about JFK and some conspiracy shit and I ended up getting some BGP's in one of his DC ads.

Ricky Oyola - This guy is usually aggro but I like it. The first time we met in 1990 at Love park, my first time there as a weekend warrior tourist fuck he just came up and asked me for a skate tool and I said I didn't have one so he got annoyed and said , "Don't come back next time without a tool"...

[SkatingIsALifestyle]

I heard Kerry Getz was, but I'm not sure....

Kerry Getz just has an anger problem when it comes to him not landing his tricks, other than that he's a pretty chill dude..

[robordie]

chad benson- anyone from mn knows.complete dick.

seth mccallum- coolest dude ever.

chris roberts- my friend spilled red powerade all over his white t and mj was a dick about it
chris didnt care though hes like "this was free" i talked to marc earlier though and complimented
his man down part and talked about tiltmode. seems like he just has mood swings

damien smith- it was a split demo (he sucked) and he said some stupid shit to me and my friends for no reason.
none of us knew who he was though. shetler (nicholas cage)was really cool

rip torn- snuck my friends boards into the park and was psyched we knew who he was.

[o.p.o.g]

A who pro should still be am Adam Dyet is a white trash dick from one of the shittiest parts of utah.

[close]

Dustin Dollin is the biggest piece of shit I've ever met. Fuck that guy.

I'm not sure why, but for some reason I always thought Dollin looked like a prick.

[Schmaltz]

alex olson

[Yossi]

Absolute coolest pro I've ever met was Tim Brauch.  Met Tim, Markovich, and Charlie Wilkins at an Estes Clothing demo about 10 years ago an they were all really nice and willing to shoot the shit with everyone. Geoff Rowley on the other hand, slept in the van and never got out the whole four or five hours the team was there.

[Ihateshinners]

Frank Gerwers the illest dude ever

[flying squirrel]

i don't know if this has abp
but i heard that eric koston was the meanest out of the four star team

[sal23]

emmanuel guzman hands down best dude..
gave me his board after one of the first vox demos since mine snaped
then proceeded to go outside and drink with chaz and the other dudes..

danny gonz seemed stoked i knew who he was at a bueno demo

mark gutterman was rad and taught me smiths on tranny
which is weird since he is only 2years older then me

tnt yelled "ROCK N ROLL" in the parking lot then danced off

anyhow back to dicks..
the only people ive met that seemed very dickish were ... well i cant even think of any
besides at a volcom demo that shecker was at
he kickfliped some bank and self cheered
then duncombe fs fliped it
he seemd bummed..
"this was before the show" =P

[Baby Rabies]

Yeah, I was there too. Right after you left, Sheckler fs kickflip 360'd that bank just to show Jake who's boss. 

[garyskwints]

big black

[busey]

i can't imagine how ghey i came off as a kid at demos and how they didn't tell me off is beyond me.

[lurk daddy]

jon newport

[kamltoe]

jon newport

ummm...not by a longshot buddy. newps is the shit. nicest dude ever and he always thinks hes a shittier skater than he really is. he WILL punch you in the face quick though, but only if you're obviously out of line. why do you say he's a dick?

[Star Whores Episode I: The Fellatio Menace]

JT Aultz is an asshole because he doesnt laugh at my jokes

Me: "hey what does JT stand for"
JT: "Justin Thompson"
Me: "really, because my freind said it was Jamie Thomas"
JT: ..........
