What happened with Robbie Holmes and Nilton Neves with Organika? I still can't believe Nilton Neves rides for Santa Cruz.

And as co owner of Organika, what are your roles for the company? I am assuming you do everything online since Kayo is not in the Bay Area.

Karl- what is your thought process when coming up with a trick?
Your tricks seem to come from a totally different wavelength than what is going on around you most times, what/who inspires you in terms of coming up with new tricks/combos?

Finally a sick and interesting thread in useless wooden toy banter .
Karls answers are also rad.
so here goes another one.

Did you feel a lot pressure filming for the Lrg part, it came out really sick i really liked it , was it hard to film that part for you Karl?

Thanks for the kind words my friend

I think there's always a bit of pressure when its time to film a part, mostly self imposed, but its always there. Filming for my LRG part was fun because we got to travel and we had a long time to film, which took away most of the pressure. Im glad you like the part. What do you think about the music? I personally love the song but some folks hated on it.

If you want to see something funny check out Slam. I almost rip my legs off. LOL

who's the other owner?
and im really happy about the josh anderson addition as well. not only do I feel his style really well meshes with that of organica, but that guy is a legend around the northwest and we're all happy about it and frankly just waiting for the day when we can buy his boards!

Karl, isn't it the case that prezel whips are only when spinning 270 out the opposite way you spun to get into said maneuver?

P.S. thank you for your time and dedication to the art (and imo the best trick on hubba ever)

"The pretzel way out"is a term Koston came up with when referring to the noseslide trick I did down hubba. So I guess it is when you turn 270 out of a certain trick.
This trick might be considered pretzel:

Karl, quick nerd question.

Do you ride stock Organika boards?

Or do you have a custom shape or anything?

Size?

Thanks for answering everybody's questions, it's awfully nice of you to take the time.

Thanks dude!
Yeah, I ride the stock decks for sure. But I do know people that ride custom shapes. 7 7/8 is what I ride.

Props on using P.i.L in yout LRG part.

Thanks man! I really like that song. Some people expected me to skate to reggae but by using the P.I.L song I wanted to show a different side of who I am.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=donkey+punch

The Donkey Punch is when your engaged in anal sex and when your about to ejaculate you punch the poor little lady in the back of the head so her anal cavity tightens making the orgasm all that more better (for you ofcourse).

I donkey punched Meredith last night, and It was awesome

Josh is the man! I've been into him since his Manik days. There's a lot of talent up there and I'm honored to have sponsored one of Northwests finest.

Good question!

This might sound weird but my thought process to coming up with a trick is quite simple. Honestly, I go to a park or sit in my backyard and open myself up to the Universe. And no joke, ideas begin to flow. Also, growing up watching people like Brian Lotti, Henry Sanches and Guy skate was a huge influence for me and I still get inspired by those dudes.

Us skaters are some of the most creative beings. I wander if we use a larger percentage of our brain. I wouldn't doubt it.

I'm trying to remember what the original name was....altered or something like that....I remember a seth cheeks ad of a switch inward heel manny up the pier 7 pad. dude was killin it back then, heard he moved back to Mississippi.
