karl, will you hire me as your PR guy?

If you hit me up about 3 month ago the answer would have possibly been yes. But I've got a very good PR guy. Its a pretty unique skill, man. If you're interested in any of my friends let me know and I'll see if they're into having a PR. Thanks for asking though.

Karl, whats your opinion about the article about the kid skating that 9/11 memorial?

That spot looks fun to skate but I would NEVER skate it

What's going on with organika? Seems like a good team and you have guys that are way over due to be turned pro. Expedition just got a nice bit of attention and seems like it's doing better. When are we gonna see a push with you guys?
[close]
Its a work in progress. Organika just has to meet the needs of skaters better. Any suggestions?

Turn walker and Zach pro, you put out there promo video years ago. They both have had other parts come out since and get mag coverage. You need them to promote Organika to the younger guys. Sorry to say, kids don't want a whim board, they just don't get it. Also, get another artist in there for a board series or two. Don't change it completely cause your on the right track.

Walker is already turning pro, i dont know when. But Karl mentioned it in his facetime. But the next dude who should be pro is Rodrigo Peterson, dude just kills it.

i agree with this 100% (and you need to turn Rodrigo Peterson pro as well. deserves it big time.) your pros are pretty much vets/legends, so that might not appeal to the kids too much. also, mix up the art direction a bit and maybe put out a lil promo like Expedition did with Madness. your ams are all pretty great (of course, i feel like a few of them should be pro by now.)

other than that, the company's cool. aesthetically, i like the vibe too. just get yourselves out there a lil more. DGK and Expedition have been expanding as of late (team and popularity wise,) so i wanna see the same for Organika.

Yes, he is 100% down to skate again. I've heard rumors about a possible guest board coming out too

Nikhil Thayer is the man! He was SF's version of "the perfect man". Meaning he's kinda like Kenny Anderson - just an all around good dude. One thing I can say about Nikhil is that he did two tricks i'll never forget; switch crook to switch back tail and noseblunt slide to switch back tail. I forgot what video those tricks are in, but they were both on the same ledge. Tell him I say hi

Talk to you later, my skateboarding brethren.

Karl, I don't know if would have the greatest advice on this, but if I drove up to SF for the Real video premier, is there anyway an average skater and his french friend could get in? or is it all going to be pros?

And if you don't want to answer since it's not your company, would I see you around skating the day before if it's not raining?

Well, if it was only for 'pros' that would be one boring premier. Im pretty sure you'll be able to get in though. Just come to SF and wing it. You'll have a good time regardless

Found this watching random mini top 5's . Much respect on the honesty.

Man your positivity , skateboard creativity, and all around smile-ability makes you a straight up inspiration. you set a good precedent that more skateboarders should follow.

How do you deal with bad vibes or a stretch of bad luck?

Also whats up with an Organika slap callabo ? Hit Whiteley up.
