I've never really listened to him before, but this vid has me stoked just like all the other little clips I've seen of him out skating after he's just performed gigs... that's fucking dope.
Also, he mentioned all those cats at Canal street skating... the only spot I can think of that would hold the attention of a big crew of people like that is not far from Canal... closer to the Superdome, this spot called the Pancakes (from a friend's Flickr):
^ Sick spot, super fun, and that's just two stacks, there are a few more. Little harder than they look because they have slight domed tops, so you pop when pointing down and land going up.
...sluggers, I'm pretty sure he said he quit drinking that shit? Anyway, syrup/drank is stupid, but the fact is that shit was EVERYWHERE around here. It became so big that now they make bottled beverages that supposedly emulate the effects a little (but not really, it's just punch with melatonin in it).
