Hi Simon, I'm a Muslim. Just two earnest questions:
1) Do you believe that I won't go to heaven due to my religious beliefs, and are you praying for my soul as a result?
2) Do you have any good Andy Roy or Jason Adams stories?
Hey Adam. I do believe there are consequences of unbelief, but I get this from Jesus Himself who says “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6 ESV cf. Matt 5:29-30; 8:12; 10:28, etc.).
I also think a contrasting comparison between Jesus and Muhammad is a worth while study (and, i would be willing to take up that discussion if you are willing).
All that being said, I did just add you to my prayer list.
I spent one entire summer traveling around and skating with Andy. He was obviously always up to a lot of extracurricular antics, but the best part about hanging out with him was that he killed it at every skate spot. Something does come to mind as far as antics go: There was the time when Andy sensed he was going to get kicked off of Santa Cruz during the big pants small wheels era. So we dressed him up in a bunch of baggy skater/raver type clothes and he went around the entire Santa Cruz Skateboards office facility saying "look guys, I'm fresh! I can be fresh too!" etc. The plan didn't work.
Jason Adams was/is just super cool. I am amazed that he never went off the scene and/or became washed up then having to make a comeback. He just stayed the course, from AM, to rookie pro, to established pro, to old pro, to masters/legend status. Only a handful of skaters have pulled that off.
