Anthony Shetler: "get some D3s and jump 20 stairs and get a Mohawk".


Where are you right now?

I'm in Germany. It's awesome. I'm hyped. We've been skating skating: see ice skating; ice dancing; roller skating.
skating

Sport in which bladelike runners or sets of wheels attached to shoes are used for gliding on ice or on surfaces other than ice.
 every day. We did one demo, and are just having fun skating a bunch of shit.

How old were you when you started to look like a grown man?

Shit, probably like two. I think I came out of my mom as a grown man.

When did you first have to shave shave (shav)
1. to cut at or parallel to the surface of the skin.

2. to remove the beard or other body hair by such a process.

3. to cut thin slices from or to cut into thin slices.
?

I don't remember, really. It hasn't been as big of an issue as you might think.

Have you ever shaved twice in one day, like before a big date?

No. Every couple of days. You know, Nixon had to do that.

Really. Oh, hell yeah.

What are the biggest advantages of looking like Snake Eyes star Nicolas Cage?

Get the older chicks. They're feeling it. They like it. People ask me about it, so I get to meet people.

Make friends.

Yeah. Jokes for days. That's always fun.

Did you have to get jumped onto Zoo York For the skateboard company, see Zoo York Skateboard Company.

'Zoo York' is an artistic style and social philosophy inspired by the New York City graffiti art subculture of the 1970s.
?

Not yet. This is my first trip but no one's tried to jump me in yet.

Was there anyone on the team you were nervous to meet?

Yeah, Harold, but he's not here anymore. I was nervous to meet Clyde, but he left before I got on. I pretty much knew everyone else from skating in New York New York, state, United States

Will it be hard to face him the next time you and Tony are on the vert ramp A vert ramp is a form of half-pipe used in "extreme sports" such as skateboarding.

Another form of half-pipe is the mini ramp.

Vert ramps are so named because they transition from a horizontal plane (known as the flat-bottom) to a vertical wall.
 together?

I don't think I've been on the vert ramp in fucking ever. I don't think there's a very good chance of me being on one any time soon.

Pretend like I'm Tony and you just bumped into me on the vert ramp. I'll start. 'Tuck, Anthony. That's fucked up you left!"

I don't know Don't know (DK, DKed)

"Don't know the trade." A Street expression used whenever one party lacks knowledge of a trade or receives conflicting instructions from the other party.
 what I'd say.

No, say it to me. I'm Tony.

Sorry, Tony. It was nothing personal.

"Thanks, Anthony. I appreciate that." Okay, end of scene. What's the hardest thing about switching sponsors?

Anytime you switch sponsors you're taking a risk. That's kind of hard. Every situation is what you make of it. I wasn't too worried about this one, though. I knew a bunch of people and it's back on the East Coast so it felt more comfortable.

Are you happier riding for an East Coast company?

Yeah. I've got East Coast pride. It feels good.

 have their own TV shows these days like Dyrdek, Bam, etc. What skater would you really want to see on a TV show if it was possible?

Sumner. He'd be good.

He could have a gospel hour.

Yeah. That would be sick. He could handle that. What would a TV show of your life be like?

 who cook to be on it. I don't know what they were called but they were two fat ladies who cooked and had English accents and one of them died. That would be sick.

For other kids who aren't hooked up as sweet as you are, what's worse--riding for a janky truck company or a janky clothing company?

I wouldn't want to ride for either. Neither one.

Have you ever punched a girl or woman?

Yeah, my sister. When we were kids we used to brawl brawl  
n.
1. A noisy quarrel or fight.

2. A loud party.

. She was tough as nails and she didn't take any shit. She threw a steak knife at me one time. Like the biggest knife in the kitchen. We used to fight all over the house. She threw me down in the bathtub one time and I hit my head, got knocked out. It was awesome. Eventually I had to punch her just to keep her from attacking me. So yeah, I punched a girl once, but it was my sister and she could definitely handle it.

If you went back in time and could kill the infant Hitler, would you?

What did I say the last time you asked me this question?

You said, "I don't need an excuse to kill an infant. I'll take any chance I can get."

Yeah. I think I'll stand by my first answer.

What are your thoughts on white rastas?

Great. Go for it.

Metrosexuals?

I don't know, but there are a lot of them around here. A lot of man purses.

No, they're not metrosexuals. They're just German.

Yeah. You could be right.

What do you think about girl skaters who aren't very good but have a million sponsors and are on TV all the time?

I fucking hate them. I really hate that shit. If you had a skateboard agent, what kind of deals would you want them to get you?

Whatever they could do to get me tons of money without me having to do anything. However they do it, just get me a bunch of cash so I can have a house and a baby and don't have to worry about it.

Who is better at arguing, you or Westgate?

I'd say Brandon. He can really take it to another level. He can go forever. You know what it's like.

What about ollieing?

He's good at that, too.

 and yet so awesome at the same time?

It just is. Things are so bad that when they're good you're just so happy. Things might suck, so the good times are that much better. It's an awesome place to be.

What is the best shitty-awesome spot to skate back East?

Probably the Bank of America

I have no idea. Good question. Probably nothing good. Maybe on drugs. I don't think it would be anything worth anything.

Who do you think really killed Tupac?

I don't know, because there are a lot of theories about that. Some say it was Suge Knight. I have no idea, but I know he was living a crazy life.

What about John Lennon Noun 1. John Lennon - English rock star and guitarist and songwriter who with Paul McCartney wrote most of the music for the Beatles (1940-1980)

Biggie.

Lennon or Tupac?

Tupac or JFK?

How many Tupac T-shirts have you purchased?

Not that many. I only have maybe three.

What advice would you give the nerds out there who have a hard time meeting the ladies?

Are they trying to meet a lot lizard lizard, a reptile of the order Squamata, which also includes the snake. Lizards form the suborder Sauria, and there are over 3,000 lizard species distributed throughout the world (except for the polar regions), with the greatest number found in warm climates.  or a nice lady?

I think a lot of them would take whatever they could get.

Well, to meet a lady you have to be nice to them. Be a gentleman.

How did you meet your girlfriend?

 her about basketball. Yeah, just talk to them and be sweet. If you hit it off, be a gentleman and it will probably work out.

Describe a time where you hurt someone really badly with your skateboard.

I can't really think of a time where I hurt someone with my board, but just the other day I thought I was going to have to use it to defend myself. We were with Jeremie from Cliche skating this spot and this guy came out and started screaming at me, but I couldn't understand what he was saying. He stood by our van and wouldn't let us leave. We thought he was calling the cops--but then all of a sudden three cars pulled up filled with dudes that wanted to kill us. They charged out and were kicking at us and shit. They didn't want us to skate the spot. I just sort of held my board up, but it probably wouldn't have helped because we were outnumbered Outnumbered is a British sitcom that aired on BBC One in 2007.[1] It stars Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner as a mother and father who are outnumbered by their three children. . For a second I thought I was going to have to start swinging. That's the closest I've come so far.

I know skaters always say that to get sponsored, you should just skate for fun and things will work out--but that's not exactly accurate. What do you really have to do?

No, I think that's true. If you really love skateboarding, everything else will fall into place. If you don't enjoy skating you shouldn't even be worrying about getting sponsored. Just be mellow mel·low  
adj. mel·low·er, mel·low·est

a. Soft, sweet, juicy, and full-flavored because of ripeness: a mellow fruit.

b.
 and enjoy what you do and pick the right sponsors. If you love skating you're going to be out there getting better and going for it.

And that's all it takes?

Yeah. And get some D3s and jump 20 stairs and get a Mohawk. Then talk shit on some famous skater. That should work, too. Whatever's easiest. Do you share your free stuff or do you have huge stockpiles?

Nah, I give all my shit away. All my friends and all the little homies This article is about a toy series. For the slang usage, see Homie.

Homies are a series of 2-inch figurines loosely based upon Chicano (Mexican American) characters in the life of artist David Gonzales.

Do you mess around on Myspace and stuff like that?

Yeah. Everyone does. They're lying if they say they don't.

Have you ever written anything about another skater on those chatrooms?

What's your favorite era of skateboarding?

I think of eras with videos. I really love the Misled Youth and all the Zero stuff, but I also love the Alien and Habitat videos just as much. I love all that skating.

Where do you want to be in three years, in 2009?

I have no idea. I don't even know where I'm going to be tomorrow.
