Mike Peterson: "all your kids get beat". (Heads_Peterson).Who's the best skater to ever come out of Florida? The best skateboarder to ever come out of Florida would have to be Doug Smith Doug Smith may refer to:
Correct. I would have also accepted Chris Baucum. Who's that? He rode for Walker. I've never heard of that guy. In the '80s, in addition to stylish dudes like Nolder and Donny Myhre, skaters from Florida were known for having a certain stinkbug stinkbug, member of a large, widely distributed family of true bugs with flattened, shield-shaped bodies. Most are 1-4 to 1-2 in. (6–12 mm) long. Those species whose hard upper covering, or scutellum, covers most of the abdomen are known as shield bugs. flare with mustaches and double-cap knee pads and the like. Does that old style still exist? No, not really 'cause you don't have to wear pads anymore at the parks. So it's kind of mellowed out a little bit, but there's still some long-haired hippies hippies 1960s “dropouts of American culture” usually identified with very long hair adorned with flowers. [Popular Culture: Misc.] See : Hair around. Where's the best place to find this flavor? Maybe Daytona area, but they just closed that Stone Edge park down. That was full pads, but I think they just tore that down about a month ago. Did you ever ride a Mark Lake Nightmare? Nope. I rode a Ken Park Vision before. Tell me a good Buck Smith Buck Smith (born July 22, 1965 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) is a professional boxer in the cruiserweight (190lb) division. Although Smith has never been considered more than a journeyman fighter, he is one of boxing's all-time knockout kings with 118 KO's [1], and is also story. Let me think One day I was at Kona, and this is kind of recently, and he did a backside boneless Bone´less a. 1. Without bones. Adj. 1. boneless - being without a bone or bones; "jellyfish are boneless" off the tombstone Tombstone, city (1990 pop. 1,220), Cochise co., SE Ariz.; inc. 1881.

The city became a national historic landmark in 1962. all the way back into the bowl, just out of the blue; so gnarly (jargon) gnarly - /nar'lee/ Both obscure and hairy. "Yow! - the tuned assembler implementation of BitBlt is really gnarly!" From a similar but less specific usage in surfer slang. . It's the gnarliest thing ever done on that thing by far--literally went up the tombstone and it was more like a backside boneless-type footplant. He didn't stall. The minute his foot touched he was already pushing off and going back into the bowl. It was insane. Who was your biggest idol growing up? Eh, probably Buck--have to be. Not Templeton? Nah. You know what's weird? I never knew who any of those guys were. I ask 'cause he's got a mean one-footed ollie. You know who I got that from was Matt Hensley.

I used to swear by to place great confidence in a person or thing; to trust implicitly as an authority. See also: Swear that video. Were you kind of cut off? Did you have more Florida idols than anything else growing up? Yes, 'cause I mainly only skated with those guys and seeing Buck in magazines all the time and then being able to watch him skate, how much he killed it. That's all I was about, trying to follow him around and learn. Is it hard to maintain a flourishing pro career in Florida? No, I don't think so. I know a lot of people question it, but if you just stay on top of your things you can do it. There's a lot of good stuff to skate here. The only real backfall is the weather, like the heat in the summer. The humidity is really bad. There are lots of good people that do skate here. A lot of rippers out of Jacksonville alone. I know they live out there now, like Caine and Neal, Clyde. Was your Tampa routine harmed by not being able to rock and roll the vert wall this year? No. This year I got a 5-0 to fakie Fakie is, in skateboarding, a synonym for riding backwards on a skateboard. When used in conjunction with a trick name, like "fakie ollie", it means that the trick was performed while with your normal back foot as the front foot on the nose of the board, rather than the back of the 'cause it didn't have a big kink. Do you work a day job? No, not at all. How long ago were you able to quit your job just to skate? Right after I won the Tampa Am contest. Was that a great feeling? Yeah, it was insane. I used to cut trees down for a living, like a tree surgeon. I was back to work that Monday and I just got a bunch of calls from my sponsors and they were like "What are you doing?" I actually got invited to come out to California and skate for a while. After that it was just on. What's the worst accident you ever saw on the job? I worked there for almost two years and I never saw anyone get cut. What's the worst job you ever had? I worked at Target pushing shopping carts for like a year. That sucked ass. Have you ever had a job where you were so mad that you took revenge on a customer? One time these people kind of screwed my boss, and I had to drive over to their house with the truck--this big truck with all these wood chips in it--and I dumped it in their front yard. So that was kind of punk My boss was there kind of backing me up; it wasn't like a solo thing. Would you ever date a stripper Stripper Slang for an individual homeowner who strips the equity out of his or her home through mortgage refinancing. Proceeds are generally not re-invested, but spent on consumer goods. Notes: Most people get rich by saving and investing wisely. ? No. I don't think so. Maybe like three or four years ago, but not now. I mean, they are hot, but...

I think he owns one of the stores Out here at the beach, actually. What do you think of all these crazy kids? They're going nuts. It's insane. It's hard to keep up. I'm starting to find out that you gotta do your own thing. Kids are just throwing themselves down 20 stairs, not even scared. I think they're just watching videos now and feel like that's what they have to do in order to be what pro skaters are. Who's your favorite of all the new guys? I like Lutzka and Kyle Berard. Both of those guys. Lutzka's just like 16 and you take him anywhere and it's just...

I'd like to see Illenium grow It's doing really well, and it's just going to get better. What should some kids do if they're coming to Florida, besides for the Tampa Am? They should come to the beach and enjoy the beach in the daytime, and then just skate at night. Tell 'em to get beat, too. Get beat? Yeah. Alright, well, all you kids get beat. |
