Interview: Shag-Lib Skate Kraftsmen


Whats the most skateboards you made in a day?
Dirty Al is the one who makes them. I give them shapes, do the dirty work, and make them look pretty. I have, however, finished 90 one time when Jim didn’t show up for work.
How many people work with you in your department? ONE.
How many cups of coffee do you drink a day?
78. That’s pots, buddy.
How many times do you poop a day?
Why don’t you ask Dirty Al? He’s in the stall next to me.
Whats your favorite song to Karaoke?
The one that isn’t in the book.
How many J-Pop songs do you know by heart?
It doesn’t matter, because people here think J-pop is the latest skate construction, or the team manager.
Can you eat and finish skateboards at the same time?
I can do it better than Trevor can spell. I’ve corrected his grammar three times now.

Why do you like finishing skateboards so much?

Because it’s better than finishing out snowboards…plus, I love skateboarding and will do it until I’m dead.
Why do you skate sea-skate so much?
Because it’s on the way home, and the freaks come out at night.
What kind of car do you drive?
Thanks for reminding me. I drive your sister.

Who’s your favorite comedian?

Everyone here is pretty funny…especially with all the things they want me to do for them. But I gotta go with Big Pimpin’…he can burn you like arson.
You’re also part of the Lib Skate research and development team. Anything to say about that?
It is fun to come up with the names for the new tech, though. We put a lot of love in our new construction…
How much do you love working at Lib Tech?
I show up every day but Sunday…just cause I’ve got church.
Are you religious, then?
About not working on Sundays.
What do you think of the people you work with?
It’s funny to listen to those softies whine about a little extra effort.
Who are your favorite skaters?
Aaron Deeter, Tom Peha, and I like to give Dirty Dan a hard time 24/7.
What’s your favorite trick?
Larry’s mom.
What’s your favorite part of the workday?
Throwing tape balls at whoever is passing by…I’m very accurate, and may hurt somebody. What do you mean OSHA? Their music ROCKS!!

What does the future hold for you?

Maybe getting laid.
