Aaron Artis: "chicks like my scent".


So, how's the train running now a days?

It's running kind of slow. No action lately. The girls are running dry in Long Beach.

I hear that you and Bickerstaff are known as The Train Gang in Long Beach.

That's enough of that topic.

So where are you living now?

On the streets, because we got evicted.

How do you get evicted from the slums of Long Beach?

Too many parties, too many loud roommates, and all of our neighbors spy on us.

What roommates would you be referring to?

Just all of them, you know.

All of who?

Wes Lott, Pete Suttin, Graham Bickerstaff and Tjaden Brewer. Oh yeah, and Franky the cat.

Oh, the Stoned Hippies crew?

That's Stoned Hessians.

Why don't you sleep in your car still?

Well, I don't have it anymore.

It got towed.

Do you like it better here?

No, I like it up north better. But there isn't as much stuff to skate up there, which's why I moved down. You skate all the time down here, but the Northwest is still my home.

Who do you usually skate with?

I usually skate with Wes, Knox, Rob G, anyone around Long Beach. All the LB locals.

So now you're filming for the Blind video?

Yeah, it's going to happen this time. Hopefully! Yeah, 2004 for sure the Blind video will drop.

As many as I want.

Then I went on this other road trip across the country, Right after that I went to Milwaukee with the Globe guys. It's been a busy past few months.

Do you like skating contests?

No, I don't have fun when I'm skating them. That's the main reason I skate, to have fun. I also don't like being judged by other people, I don't skate to impress people, you know? I just skate to have fun.

Does your SH crew have any conflicts with other crews in the area?

The only other crew I can think of is the Lakewood crew. They don't like to skate the stuff we like to skate. But if there is a conflict we will go and deal with it.

What's it like living on an am's income?

It's hard. You have to budget. One time I lived off Wheaties for two weeks--I'm ghetto, I guess.
