- 0:58Speaker 2: a cut and then just you know, just work on
- 1:00Speaker 2: my head, you know, keep my head up high and
- 1:02Speaker 2: just you know, pop out.
- 1:03Speaker 1: But it's been good, it's been blessings. You just had
- 1:06Speaker 1: a PSL competition this weekend. Yeah, that was was that
- 1:10Speaker 1: at p rod Spot? Yeah, Paul Spark. So, uh, this
- 1:14Speaker 1: is like a new league where there's like teams kind
- 1:18Speaker 1: of like the NBA. Yeah, factual. So how many people
- 1:21Speaker 1: are like on each team?
- 1:23Speaker 2: I want to say it's Zach alert me. I think
- 1:27Speaker 2: it's like four or five. And then you like each weekend,
- 1:31Speaker 2: all the teams go up against each other, you know
- 1:33Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like depending on how its structured or
- 1:35Speaker 2: what teams against what team.
- 1:36Speaker 1: But I think like at the end of the season,
- 1:39Speaker 1: that's when.
- 1:39Speaker 2: They figure out, like bracket wise, like who moves on
- 1:42Speaker 2: or who's in like a finals type of thing. And
- 1:44Speaker 2: then after that, you know, you get crowned the winner.
- 1:46Speaker 2: And it's bread involved too.
- 1:47Speaker 1: So it's a good it's a good like new contest
- 1:50Speaker 1: and new element. How does that work? Like is it
- 1:53Speaker 1: a draft? Like how do you put your squad together? Yeah?
- 1:55Speaker 1: It is?
- 1:56Speaker 2: Is it is located draft like in the beginning they draft,
- 1:59Speaker 2: it's a surprised.
- 2:00Speaker 1: I was like number one draft Big, you were number
- 2:03Speaker 1: one overall. You were the Victor wemen Yanna, Yeah, of
- 2:06Speaker 1: the PSL man.
- 2:07Speaker 2: So it was funny because I didn't actually tune in
- 2:09Speaker 2: and watch the draft, right, people just hitting me up
- 2:11Speaker 2: and let me know and send me the clips because
- 2:13Speaker 2: they had a whole thing to who drafted you. My
- 2:15Speaker 2: bro Zach Sarasino. Yeah, so he's a team captain of
- 2:18Speaker 2: the team that I'm on. And then, uh, it's everybody
- 2:20Speaker 2: is a team captain, like Na is a team captain,
- 2:22Speaker 2: Jamie Foy, a couple of other homies, and yeah, you
- 2:25Speaker 2: just go against you know what I mean, the other
- 2:27Speaker 2: team with whoever.
- 2:28Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 2:29Speaker 2: It's it's funny because you can kind of rotate through
- 2:31Speaker 2: who lands a trick because it's like a set and
- 2:33Speaker 2: then you know what I mean, you land on defense. Uh,
- 2:35Speaker 2: but each time you never know, like it's like three
- 2:38Speaker 2: it's like a three strikeout deal. So in one round
- 2:41Speaker 2: or there's four quarters in each you know, a round
- 2:43Speaker 2: and say, say it's like two teams one round. The
- 2:46Speaker 2: team who's like you know, on offense is set in
- 2:49Speaker 2: the trick. But if they fall three times. Then next yeah,
- 2:52Speaker 2: it's the next team set. Yeah, and then you just
- 2:54Speaker 2: go like that over each quarter.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Is there a limit on how many times a team
- 2:57Speaker 1: can use the skater? No? No.
- 3:01Speaker 2: I felt victim to being one that that the team
- 3:04Speaker 2: likes to use a lot, but.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Where you're like, hey, with this guy's better than us,
- 3:08Speaker 1: don't do it.
- 3:09Speaker 2: It's funny like the first time I was like, you know, granty,
- 3:12Speaker 2: you know, we had a couple of players out, one
- 3:14Speaker 2: was out of town, another, you know, it was hurt.
- 3:17Speaker 1: It was cool.
- 3:18Speaker 2: But this next time around, I was like, dang, like
- 3:20Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Let's put a little space
- 3:21Speaker 2: in between me trying all the ticks so I can like,
- 3:23Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. But it's been fun. It's
- 3:26Speaker 2: been a cool like you know, new elementary skateboard and
- 3:28Speaker 2: just like the competitive aspect it's been it's been dope.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Do you feel like because I feel like, you know,
- 3:33Speaker 1: back in the day, we had the X game, I know,
- 3:34Speaker 1: X games just send it right. I think it was
- 3:36Speaker 1: just was it the Winter X Games? There was some
- 3:38Speaker 1: sort of X games not too too long ago.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, yeah, the last one that
- 3:42Speaker 2: just happened was the winner?
- 3:44Speaker 1: Yeah, But I feel like the skating ship like being
- 3:48Speaker 1: pop culture and like when you like turn on like
- 3:51Speaker 1: ESPN and they'd be skateboarding, Like I feel like that's
- 3:54Speaker 1: gone away. But I feel like this is like maybe
- 3:57Speaker 1: a new way to kind of approach it where it'll
- 4:00Speaker 1: get like casuals kind of into it because it feels
- 4:02Speaker 1: like kind of like playing a game of skate.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, actual exactly that, And I feel like
- 4:06Speaker 2: that's what was their goal. I mean their goal with
- 4:09Speaker 2: this was to create an environment where it just seemed
- 4:12Speaker 2: more fun. It gave you know, the audience something easier
- 4:15Speaker 2: to follow, and then we all you know what I mean,
- 4:18Speaker 2: we just demonstrate just like what it is to like
- 4:20Speaker 2: skate amongst each other.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Are like how.
- 4:22Speaker 2: Team like a like a team sport technically, like in
- 4:26Speaker 2: other opinions of like people who are like kind of
- 4:28Speaker 2: the outside would look in a different way with like
- 4:31Speaker 2: the Cammarderie of like skating.
- 4:32Speaker 1: You know, but it's been cool, Like I think it.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Has a lot of potential and you know, to bring
- 4:37Speaker 2: something new to skateboarding and that aspect and like give
- 4:39Speaker 2: skateboarding like more some more eyes.

- 6:17Speaker 1: taken number one overall? You can't take yourself obviously. Nah.
- 6:21Speaker 2: If I team captain, you know I had no over
- 6:25Speaker 2: first pick, I would draft man.
- 6:29Speaker 1: I probably would draft Jena Wu Juist Yeah, yeah, Jane Wu.
- 6:33Speaker 1: I would.
- 6:33Speaker 2: I would choose Junia Wu first and then the rest.
- 6:36Speaker 2: I would just like go all over the place.
- 6:38Speaker 1: I said.
- 6:38Speaker 2: I would do Antoine Dixon as one of my picks
- 6:41Speaker 2: just culturally, and he is one of those ones who
- 6:43Speaker 2: just like is great at like skating down stuff, and
- 6:48Speaker 2: then I don't know who else, just like there's a
- 6:50Speaker 2: couple of homies would pick you know, got a shot
- 6:52Speaker 2: the homie Ryan, Uh, different people who are dope so and.
- 6:57Speaker 1: You're obviously uh big big is it once? Your shoe
- 7:00Speaker 1: coming out in March March fourteenth.
- 7:02Speaker 2: March fourteenth exclusively at my skate shop and Timp then
- 7:06Speaker 2: all the other shops drop it on the seventeenth.
- 7:09Speaker 1: This is one of the I'm for Phoenix. This is
- 7:13Speaker 1: one of the coolest Arizona shoes of all time. Appreciate
- 7:16Speaker 1: that it damn near might be the greatest. We've had
- 7:20Speaker 1: some barkers that are crazy, some recent bookers that have
- 7:22Speaker 1: been crazy, but this shoe is so wild. It's like
- 7:28Speaker 1: how first of all, how hands on? Because people who
- 7:29Speaker 1: haven't seen it it is very much like an homage
- 7:32Speaker 1: to like the nineties diamondbacks. Yeah, and you nail even
- 7:36Speaker 1: like the lace lock or yeah, I don't know, oh
- 7:38Speaker 1: you got them? Oh of course? Oh these are crazy, bro.
- 7:42Speaker 1: So I want to know, like, what is the process
- 7:45Speaker 1: of designing this shoe before you feel like you nail it?
- 7:48Speaker 1: And how involved are you?
- 7:49Speaker 2: So the crazy thing about this is I had a
- 7:52Speaker 2: PDF of ideas like five years, four years prior to
- 7:56Speaker 2: when the opportunity even came up. One of my homies
- 7:59Speaker 2: KB from actually like we linked up and he made this.
- 8:02Speaker 2: He helped me make this whole PDF of just like
- 8:04Speaker 2: inspired you know, colorways for shoes and dunks and stuff.
- 8:06Speaker 1: So when the opportunity came, I was ready.
- 8:09Speaker 2: And so when they brought it up to me that
- 8:10Speaker 2: I was next up to like have the opportunity, I
- 8:13Speaker 2: just gave him the PDF. I was like, yo, like
- 8:15Speaker 2: here's the PDF. This is kind of what I'm thinking.
- 8:17Speaker 2: And when I gave it to them, like they're all
- 8:19Speaker 2: like they're all stoked, like, man, like you.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Did our job.
- 8:21Speaker 2: They're like damn, thank you, Yeah, like thank you, like
- 8:23Speaker 2: you did our job for us, you know what I mean.
- 8:25Speaker 2: So it made the process super easy. I feel like fast,
- 8:28Speaker 2: Like there was probably only like a couple of rounds
- 8:30Speaker 2: of samples, and this was like I felt like the
- 8:33Speaker 2: third yeah, the second sample, because they sent them as
- 8:36Speaker 2: like pairs and I was stoked on this one, you know,
- 8:39Speaker 2: Like I had a sample prayer that was orange, which
- 8:41Speaker 2: was the one that I gave Kai like on the stream,
- 8:44Speaker 2: and I was going back and forth between the orange
- 8:46Speaker 2: and the purple, but I wanted purple because it really
- 8:48Speaker 2: told the story I was trying to do, and so
- 8:51Speaker 2: I was really hypped on how that came out and
- 8:52Speaker 2: what it was was the one I saw before this.
- 8:56Speaker 2: I had like one more revision to make, and that
- 8:57Speaker 2: was gonna be the last song because the time and
- 8:59Speaker 2: every thing. So I had to be like certain on it.
- 9:02Speaker 2: And so that was the last like change that I made,
- 9:04Speaker 2: and when I got it back, I was really stoked
- 9:06Speaker 2: about it and the purple they used and everything. But
- 9:09Speaker 2: I was superhands on, you know what I mean, with
- 9:11Speaker 2: it for all the way down the materials of the
- 9:12Speaker 2: snake skin, Like I was really particular on that because
- 9:17Speaker 2: I wanted to shoot it look good, but I wanted
- 9:18Speaker 2: to also skate good.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Like that was important to me, you know what I mean.
- 9:21Speaker 2: And so typically like when they do shoes like this
- 9:23Speaker 2: with like different things, sometimes this is like a harder
- 9:25Speaker 2: material or like the toe box material was like different
- 9:30Speaker 2: sometimes like uncomfortable. So I was really intentional about that,
- 9:34Speaker 2: and I was really hyped with how it came out,
- 9:35Speaker 2: Like the team like killed.
- 9:37Speaker 1: It was the original idea to have the orange in
- 9:39Speaker 1: there to kind of like show any love to the suns.
- 9:42Speaker 2: No, that was actually uh just I don't see like
- 9:45Speaker 2: a happy accident. But they had just did that and
- 9:48Speaker 2: I got it back see yeah, and it.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Grew on me a little bit. Then I was like, ah, like,
- 9:53Speaker 1: I feel like you nailed it with this.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Yeah. I was like the orange like wearing wise and
- 9:56Speaker 2: what I'm trying to do is kind of like.
- 9:58Speaker 1: The text was, yeah, kind of takes the theme out.
- 10:01Speaker 1: My bad, I put my shoe up here. It's all
- 10:03Speaker 1: good man. We got to see the shoot the laces
- 10:05Speaker 1: crazy though. Yeah.
- 10:06Speaker 2: Yeah, and the copper had like we had a different
- 10:09Speaker 2: one actually in the beginning. The difference was it was
- 10:13Speaker 2: more like square and the teeth came down longer. But
- 10:16Speaker 2: did the what my only you know, well, my only
- 10:21Speaker 2: my only problem was with that was that, uh, the
- 10:24Speaker 2: teeth came down so long that it it I was
- 10:27Speaker 2: afraid of it being uncomfortable and like stabbing people's toes
- 10:30Speaker 2: if you skate it with it. So they they went
- 10:33Speaker 2: back and you know, went back to the drawing board
- 10:34Speaker 2: and came up with this one. And this one was
- 10:36Speaker 2: perfect because I liked how the laces like fed through
- 10:38Speaker 2: the teeth and it sat up higher and gave it
- 10:41Speaker 2: more of like a clean, sleek look.
- 10:42Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, they killed it. And you know what
- 10:45Speaker 1: I mean, like did the thing.
- 10:45Speaker 2: And I feel like it was a nice ad because
- 10:47Speaker 2: I wanted to use the copper, you know, because of
- 10:49Speaker 2: the you know, the that was the colorway that I
- 10:52Speaker 2: was like hyped on with, like you know, the hat
- 10:53Speaker 2: and everything. But that was like a nice little hint
- 10:57Speaker 2: of like copper. I feel like to tie in like
- 10:59Speaker 2: the you know, the copper and in that in that logo.
- 11:01Speaker 2: But yeah, you killed it. It's got to be like
- 11:04Speaker 2: a dream come true. Just having a shoot like that.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I remember back in the day I used
- 11:08Speaker 1: to like did school draw shoes.
- 11:10Speaker 2: And shy you know, it is like I feel like
- 11:14Speaker 2: it's still surreal, Like you know, I've been scanning them
- 11:16Speaker 2: and filming in them, you know what I mean. Even
- 11:17Speaker 2: the I mentioned that like the insuls too, they have
- 11:20Speaker 2: a D on the left foot and the J on
- 11:22Speaker 2: the right, the snake through the through the insul. But
- 11:26Speaker 2: and this process is crazy, you know, this this is
- 11:27Speaker 2: a two year process. And when you first started, like
- 11:30Speaker 2: it seems so far away because you're like, oh, you know,
- 11:32Speaker 2: we'll start now.
- 11:33Speaker 1: In two years.
- 11:33Speaker 2: It comes out, and uh, it all went super fast,
- 11:37Speaker 2: like I I swear I blinked and in a month
- 11:39Speaker 2: like working on everything, like I blinked in it was
- 11:41Speaker 2: like here, it.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Was like two months away.
- 11:43Speaker 2: And so it's it's really you know what I mean,
- 11:45Speaker 2: I think it's gonna even like the films don't be
- 11:48Speaker 2: even crazier, Like when I'm at the store and like
- 11:50Speaker 2: I'm seeing everybody lined up from it like that' start
- 11:52Speaker 2: was really gonna like settling like damn, you know, but
- 11:54Speaker 2: now I'm just so locked in.
- 11:55Speaker 1: I'm just making the effect and the impact on it
- 11:58Speaker 1: so big. I was like tunnel vision. We got to
- 12:00Speaker 1: get Randy Johnson a pair.

- 16:29Speaker 2: this this next you know things I have coming out
- 16:32Speaker 2: for the shoe.
- 16:33Speaker 1: How is the skate shop owner life like because I
- 16:35Speaker 1: feel like the skate shop. You know, we grew up
- 16:38Speaker 1: like there was industrial in Arizona at the mall. Every
- 16:40Speaker 1: mall had a skate shop, like yeah, Cowtown, Yeah, Cowtown
- 16:44Speaker 1: shot in the Cowtown still Trent Lower. But I feel
- 16:48Speaker 1: like even like the skate shop. Dude, I remember they
- 16:51Speaker 1: had a skate like a whole skate park in Metro
- 16:53Speaker 1: Center mall. Bro I was just talking to remember that
- 16:56Speaker 1: the homi idress you'll be able to play video games
- 16:58Speaker 1: in the lobby and there was a whole park in
- 16:59Speaker 1: the mall.
- 17:00Speaker 2: But he was just asking about did you ever make
- 17:01Speaker 2: at that Van skate park?
- 17:02Speaker 1: I was like, Bro, I never.
- 17:04Speaker 2: I never got a chance to, you know, to go
- 17:05Speaker 2: to that park because I was skating, but I wasn't
- 17:07Speaker 2: in tune like the Arizona skating yet.
- 17:10Speaker 1: I was still like.
- 17:12Speaker 2: I wasn't like Chandler.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so that's that's a that's a trip.
- 17:15Speaker 2: Like I was born in Glendelle, left and then when
- 17:17Speaker 2: I moved back, I was living in Chandler. Did you
- 17:19Speaker 2: ever skate at Reed Park in Mason Reed? I definitely
- 17:23Speaker 2: skated a couple of seons read oh Man.
- 17:27Speaker 1: I broke so before they opened officially, I used to
- 17:30Speaker 1: I lived right behind there, Me and my boys all
- 17:33Speaker 1: hop the fence and like that's when I realized that
- 17:36Speaker 1: I don't want to scale. He's a big bowl. Is
- 17:39Speaker 1: like stuff in the middle of the skate I haven't
- 17:41Speaker 1: been reading so long. Yeah, shifty area, yeah bag, but
- 17:48Speaker 1: I don't even know, Like that's like we used to
- 17:50Speaker 1: just go there and like all the homies skate. That
- 17:52Speaker 1: was a cool spot. Yeah is dope, you know, I
- 17:54Speaker 1: mean that's big. They're super big.
- 17:56Speaker 2: Like that park is just literally wide open with obstacles.
- 17:59Speaker 1: In the middle, like you could just go on a circle.
- 18:01Speaker 1: But what is it the like is it is the
- 18:03Speaker 1: Has the skate shop venture been good?
- 18:05Speaker 2: Like it's been good so, like you know, I would
- 18:07Speaker 2: say the homies you know who are who are on
- 18:09Speaker 2: ground kind of run more of like everything as far
- 18:12Speaker 2: as like on site, you know what I mean, like
- 18:13Speaker 2: the homie Andrew and everything, and I'm just like I'm
- 18:17Speaker 2: a part of it, but I'm just like one of
- 18:18Speaker 2: the faces, you know what I mean. That just is
- 18:19Speaker 2: like outside who's kind of like just like putting on
- 18:22Speaker 2: for the shop. You know, I don't deal with like
- 18:24Speaker 2: a lot of the data stuff, but you know, I
- 18:25Speaker 2: pulled my weight in and trying to help as much
- 18:27Speaker 2: as I can and just like keep eyes on the shop,
- 18:29Speaker 2: do good stuff for the shop, be community involved in
- 18:32Speaker 2: everything like that. But it's been dope, Like it's been blessing.
- 18:36Speaker 2: Like I get a lot of you know, uh joy
- 18:40Speaker 2: from like just the shop being able to like act
- 18:43Speaker 2: in the community and bring people together and inspire and
- 18:45Speaker 2: just like pour it into the youth and everything. But
- 18:47Speaker 2: that's kind of what was the goal of it when
- 18:49Speaker 2: that idea came about with the shop, was just to
- 18:52Speaker 2: you know, use that as like something to get back
- 18:53Speaker 2: to Arizon the skateboarding and continue to grow the scene there.
- 18:58Speaker 1: What was your experience, Like I ran into you at
- 19:01Speaker 1: Summer Slam in New York. You were back backstage, I think, Yeah,
- 19:08Speaker 1: they had like a giant minute made bro running around. Yeah.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Was that your first like big, big, big wrestling show
- 19:13Speaker 1: because that was like as a two day football stadium.
- 19:16Speaker 2: Yeah, that was my first time ever, you know, experiencing
- 19:20Speaker 2: something like that. It's a whole other world. Like I
- 19:22Speaker 2: watched ww growing up, so definitely have like been a
- 19:25Speaker 2: fan of it, but to like go there and like
- 19:27Speaker 2: be in that environment was crazy because till this day
- 19:30Speaker 2: it was. It was crazy to see like the community
- 19:33Speaker 2: that they have built and that is still like going hard.
- 19:36Speaker 1: For WW is dope. I was like, damn, like people
- 19:38Speaker 1: were really still they don't they don't play like.
- 19:42Speaker 2: Bro, It's like it's the same thing I thought it
- 19:44Speaker 2: like when I went to things like like not Decadence,
- 19:48Speaker 2: but uh, I forgot the other one they do in Arizona.
- 19:50Speaker 1: It's kind of like they had. I went there one time.
- 19:53Speaker 1: That's the whole other world. Bro, You're like, wait, these
- 19:55Speaker 1: guys are just up there.

- 21:30Speaker 1: That you know, I mean I. I really, I genuinely
- 21:33Speaker 1: love to do that. I have passion. And so I
- 21:35Speaker 1: mean about what a year since you dropped your EP, right? Yeah?

- 21:50Speaker 2: So I got a project coming out with the with
- 21:53Speaker 2: the Shoe. So just been working on that, mixing that down.
- 21:56Speaker 2: But it's been dope journey, you know, get an opportunities
- 21:58Speaker 2: to perform and and all that stuff. Like I said,
- 22:01Speaker 2: I love doing it.
- 22:02Speaker 1: So how do you end up connecting with Logic through Paul? Oh? Really?
- 22:06Speaker 2: So Paul was hanging out with Logic and I don't
- 22:09Speaker 2: know how I came up. I think he said they
- 22:10Speaker 2: were kicking it one day and they were talking about music,
- 22:12Speaker 2: and Paul brought it up, like you know that Shawn
- 22:14Speaker 2: makes music, because Logic was like tapping on the skate
- 22:16Speaker 2: stuff and he was like for real, and like Paul
- 22:18Speaker 2: showed them some records and like connected us. We started,
- 22:20Speaker 2: you know, chopping it up, and I was working on
- 22:23Speaker 2: stuff and I sent them some stuff, and I sent
- 22:26Speaker 2: them the record that he got on Dream and he
- 22:29Speaker 2: like faced him right away and was like, you know,
- 22:30Speaker 2: you've been sending me stuff and I love everything, but
- 22:32Speaker 2: he's like this is like I love this one. And
- 22:34Speaker 2: he just was like, I want to cut a verse
- 22:36Speaker 2: too and just send me back, you know what I mean,
- 22:37Speaker 2: A feature just off the love. And so it's been
- 22:39Speaker 2: dope because I feel like every friendship or connection I've
- 22:41Speaker 2: made through music has been like super genuine right with
- 22:44Speaker 2: dope people, and they've all just like blessed me, you
- 22:46Speaker 2: know what I mean, with their presence on records, and
- 22:48Speaker 2: it's been a blessing for show.
- 22:49Speaker 1: But have you skated with Logic? Not yet. I'm waited
- 22:53Speaker 1: for that time though, to get in a session with him.
- 22:55Speaker 1: I know he don't really be in LA like that,
- 22:56Speaker 1: like he lives, you know what I mean. But yes,
- 23:00Speaker 1: so whenever that comes up, like, I'm super down. You
- 23:02Speaker 1: were kind of weren't you kind of helping Tie learn
- 23:04Speaker 1: some ship on the board. Yeah, yeah, he's back though.
- 23:08Speaker 1: He was back on the board. Man.
- 23:09Speaker 2: He was a skate what a couple of months ago.
- 23:11Speaker 2: He was at the park throwing around and I got
- 23:13Speaker 2: PTSD with Bro. So every time he comes to the park,
- 23:15Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, no, Like, if I see him trying
- 23:18Speaker 2: to be funny, I'm like no, bro, Like because last
- 23:21Speaker 2: time that happened, he had my phone going nuts.
- 23:24Speaker 1: Everybody was blowing my phone.
- 23:25Speaker 2: I'm like, use what tie because everybody knew he only
- 23:27Speaker 2: skated with me, right, everybody is brother.
- 23:29Speaker 1: Everybody was like using my brother. I was like, yeah, bro,
- 23:31Speaker 1: Like did he did he biffit? Oh? Bad? He knocked
- 23:35Speaker 1: himself out? Like bad? Oh bad, super bad video? Yeah?
- 23:39Speaker 1: He posted and yeah yeah after it happened, that was
- 23:42Speaker 1: the only thing he wanted. I want the footage. Where
- 23:44Speaker 1: was the footagehere? The footage show people?
- 23:46Speaker 2: Bro?
- 23:47Speaker 1: And then what what was crazy?
- 23:48Speaker 2: Because that same day, you know, he went to the
- 23:50Speaker 2: hospital and stuff. He posted that picture that he's in
- 23:52Speaker 2: the hospital bed. But the things hooked up.
- 23:55Speaker 1: That's when everybody but that's what it really was bad.
- 23:57Speaker 1: I was like, bro, you're doing too much. Bro, why
- 23:59Speaker 1: are you doing it to normal? Well, you do that.
- 24:02Speaker 2: But then he saved me because after he made a
- 24:03Speaker 2: story post and was like thank you to like my
- 24:05Speaker 2: daughter Dashaun and Balagh. He was like, it's security. At
- 24:07Speaker 2: the time that He's like, thank you for saving my life.
- 24:08Speaker 2: And so people were like good, but yeah, I would man.
- 24:11Speaker 1: That's the kind of experience that I feel like you
- 24:13Speaker 1: shouldn't skate after that. Yeah, he didn't come back for
- 24:16Speaker 1: a while. Yeah, like hey, man, if you ended up
- 24:19Speaker 1: with things hooked up. Yah. He finally told me he
- 24:24Speaker 1: was scared because every time I hme up to skate
- 24:25Speaker 1: and he was like yeah, you know that. And then
- 24:27Speaker 1: one day called me. He was like bro, he was like,
- 24:29Speaker 1: I want to come back. But he's like the entire
- 24:31Speaker 1: selent age. Man, it's probably a little bit too late
- 24:33Speaker 1: in the game. Were picking up. Yeah, it's like motherfuckers
- 24:35Speaker 1: would get jumped into like the Pirus at forty They're like,
- 24:38Speaker 1: what do we do? We're a little old.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Yeah, he came back and he was right on the board.
- 24:44Speaker 2: I think Paul had an event and I was like, bro,
- 24:46Speaker 2: are you good. It's like I was like, there's there's
- 24:48Speaker 2: your comeback story. Bro, like you got back on the board.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Ever that happened? Bro? You good? You Sam? He stamped you?
- 24:55Speaker 1: Did you ever skate? Get to skate with? Like Hobson,
- 24:57Speaker 1: never never scared with. He's pretty good.
- 25:01Speaker 2: Yeah, I know Kevin Romar spent a lot of time
- 25:02Speaker 2: with him. Like I think Romar either DJ's Formar was
- 25:06Speaker 2: DJing Forman. That was like the most I would like
- 25:08Speaker 2: see of hops and skating. But like that's another person.
- 25:11Speaker 2: I have a I want to like do something with
- 25:13Speaker 2: like all artists who skate, you know what I mean
- 25:15Speaker 2: at some point and just kind of like try to
- 25:17Speaker 2: bridge the communities.
- 25:18Speaker 1: And I think it would be dope to host something.
- 25:20Speaker 1: I think that'd be hard, something like because there's a
- 25:23Speaker 1: few guys like Rich the Kid can skate.
- 25:24Speaker 2: Yeah, Rich to skate. He was last time I skated
- 25:26Speaker 2: with him. Uh, he was in Miami at the Virgil
- 25:29Speaker 2: Open they do every year.
- 25:30Speaker 1: Yeah, he's nice. I feel like people wouldn't expect it. Nah,
- 25:33Speaker 1: he could skate for sure. Do you know?
- 25:35Speaker 2: DJ Drohm was one who used to skate drum He
- 25:38Speaker 2: used to.
- 25:38Speaker 1: He grew up with Stevie Williams. That makes sense, Phil, Yeah, yeah,
- 25:41Speaker 1: he used to skate a lot of people. Bro, it's
- 25:44Speaker 1: actually nuts, Like shout out to Stevie Williams.
- 25:46Speaker 2: Yeah, shot out to Stevie man Og like that's the
- 25:48Speaker 2: big Homi was DGK his Yeah, it's his.
- 25:51Speaker 1: DGK was fired but that's me.
- 25:53Speaker 2: I mean he had DGK, but he also he also
- 25:55Speaker 2: had an Asphalt the clothing brand.
- 25:57Speaker 1: He had the craziest team g A.
- 26:00Speaker 2: Shit was hard though they used to have zoom He's
- 26:02Speaker 2: going crazy huh. Still, I was just with him in
- 26:05Speaker 2: Denver out of they do a Zoomie's one hundred k
- 26:08Speaker 2: every year.
- 26:08Speaker 1: It's like I almost went out there for that. Yeah,
- 26:10Speaker 1: my boy Spencer brought Shortline out there. I was supposed
- 26:12Speaker 1: to go from Cookies. He was DJing okay, but yeah,
- 26:16Speaker 1: and now I was gonna go where they were like
- 26:18Speaker 1: it's like an hour out of Denver and they like
- 26:21Speaker 1: have all the Spencer or they have all the the
- 26:24Speaker 1: employees there that like have all the sales and ship. Yeah.
- 26:26Speaker 1: I almost. Yeah, It's it's fun.
- 26:29Speaker 2: I hadn't been back in a couple of years because
- 26:30Speaker 2: of last year I got six so I couldn't go.
- 26:33Speaker 2: So it was dope to be back, Like you's to
- 26:34Speaker 2: go out there for two days snowboard, you know, celebrate
- 26:37Speaker 2: the employees for like all their hard work, which is dope,
- 26:39Speaker 2: and then it's a rap.
- 26:40Speaker 1: It's a super quick trip. Is the correlation between snowboarding
- 26:44Speaker 1: and skateboarding at all similar, no, totally separate.
- 26:48Speaker 2: Everybody told me when I was first getting snowboard, You're
- 26:51Speaker 2: gonna be good because you skateboard. It was the opposite, bro,
- 26:54Speaker 2: I was eating shit and then finally like it clicked
- 26:58Speaker 2: and like now I'm like good, I love it. But
- 26:59Speaker 2: in the beginning it was like hard, bro, it was
- 27:03Speaker 2: totally different.
- 27:03Speaker 1: So now you could like do some shit on a snowboard.
- 27:06Speaker 2: Yeah, you can hit like a boxes, jumps everything.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Are you like you're not really a vertical guy, right, yeah,
- 27:11Speaker 1: I skate vert.
- 27:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I grew up skating vert before street and then
- 27:15Speaker 2: like so.
- 27:16Speaker 1: Not a lot of people can do both at the
- 27:17Speaker 1: high level, right yeah, nah yeah there.
- 27:19Speaker 2: Well I have a homemiy name Jagger, who's pretty dope
- 27:21Speaker 2: at both. Like he's from Arizona, he skates, he used
- 27:24Speaker 2: to skate Meghramp when he was a kid, and now
- 27:25Speaker 2: he's amazing at street skateboarding. But uh, like I grew
- 27:30Speaker 2: up skating transition because my local parking Chandler was like
- 27:33Speaker 2: strictly like based on like transition. But uh like I
- 27:37Speaker 2: could skate both, Like I just have to skate a
- 27:39Speaker 2: lot to get warm back up, but I can do
- 27:40Speaker 2: airs like almost it at five forty a couple of
- 27:43Speaker 2: years ago.
