Speaker 3: the building. Yes, indeed we have tie Sewan Jones on

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 3: the sheet that says he is the first black professional

8
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 3: skateboard Is that true?

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: No, that's what I said. But you are a professional skateboarder?

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 4: Correct? Correct?

11
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 2: Now how do you.

12
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: Get to a quote unquote professional skateboarder title?

13
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 4: Uh? Well, I always explain it to people like music,

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, or not not like music,

15
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 4: like basketball. So there's phases. There's three phases. First you

16
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 4: go flow, let's say that's like high school basketball. Then

17
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 4: you go amateur that's college, and then you go pro

18
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 4: that's NBA okay.

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: And what makes you pro?

20
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 4: Is it it's just a company of board company has

21
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 4: to turn you pro?

22
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: Got you?

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 4: So like that's the way the culture is, Like your

24
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 4: skateboard company is who determines when you go pro?

25
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 5: And is your company like an agency or is it

26
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 5: just like a governing company that looks at like what

27
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 5: you've been doing like track record competitions or no, it's like.

28
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 4: A company that, like you would be sponsored by this

29
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 4: individual one. So like I don't know, like I'm trying

30
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 4: to explain it in a way that child maybe remember,

31
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 4: Like you remember like Zu York yep, so Zuo York

32
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 4: is a skateboard company or was previously. They don't. I

33
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 4: don't think they make skateboards anymore. But Zu York would

34
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 4: turn you pro if you response about them, So that'd

35
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 4: be like basically like your team picking you up to

36
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 4: go to the A.

37
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 6: And it's a very lucrative business. That's why I understand

38
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 6: why more people don't, you know, get involved in it.

39
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's lucrative and as like certain people,

40
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 4: it's wishy washy. Some people get paid, some people don't

41
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 4: really get paid. It's kind of like it depends is

42
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 4: it just depends who you are, and I guess your image.

43
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 6: I first heard of about you sadly through some drama

44
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 6: when you got kicked in Paris.

45
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, here you're pro skateboarder Tasha Jones kicked

46
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 4: off his bike by screenshle riding in Paris.

47
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: Then when I thought it, I'm like, oh, he's black.

48
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was very interesting occurrence.

49
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: Why was that? What did did you ever find out

50
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: what that was about?

51
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 4: So I never told the full story. I just kind

52
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 4: of put it on Instagram because it was funny to me.

53
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 4: I was like, because people like you know that, like

54
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 4: when stuff happens, it's like people can't is not gonna

55
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 4: believe this if I tell him, like so, and it

56
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 4: just so happened. My agent got a video. He's not

57
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: my agent, he's my team manager for Adidas. I'm sponsored

58
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: by Dida.

59
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 2: So oh, I thought it was just a random person

60
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: who I got.

61
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna tell you the full story. So and

62
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 4: usually I'm deep, like I'm with like a bunch of

63
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 4: my friends and we we was in Paris. We go

64
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 4: eat or we go into the shows and stuff. We

65
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 4: tend we ride around the bikes. The one I'm alone,

66
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 4: I'm not well not alone, but I'm just with somebody

67
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: who's not about that life at all. So I'm with

68
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 4: my team manager from Adidas and he's like, let's go

69

70
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 4: I'm like, he's like, you want to take a cab?

71
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 4: Like no, let's just ride bikes. His Paris traffic is crazy,

72
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 4: So he get downstairs, we grab the bikes. We're riding

73
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 4: the bikes and we get like two blocks from the

74
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 4: hotel and I'm wearing the Victor Victor hoodie. You know,

75
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 4: Steve is my manager, so he deals with Steven. So

76
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 4: he's like, I'm going to film you because I'm going

77
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: to send Steven a video you wearing the hoodie. But

78
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: before he started filming me, I have my skateboard and

79
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 4: I have I have a bag in my hand. So

80
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 4: like in Paris, the bikes they're not like city bikes,

81
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 4: like they don't have a strap. So I have the

82
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 4: skateboard in the bucket and I'm holding the bike with

83
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 4: my other hands, so like my, like my, what's the word.

84
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 4: I'm looking for my balance. So I'm like I'm biking

85
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 4: kind of slow. And then there's this guy is like

86
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 4: trailing me, and I'm like I'm like, I'm like, yo,

Speaker 1: He's filming.

96
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: He's no, he's not filming at this point. He's just

99
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 4: because he know like I'm not going for that. So

100
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 4: we look at each other. He's like, please talk, Sean no,

00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 4: We're biking and the guy must have biked off waited

00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 4: like a German guy who's like the most peaceful guy

114
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 4: in the world. And this guy, I just get kicked

115
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 4: off the bike. I don't know, I'm just biking. I

00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 4: just fall on the floor. So I'm like, what the

117
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,560

00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 4: see the guy like zooming on the bike. So then

119
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 4: I look at my team manager and I'm like it's over,

120

121
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 4: going to get him. So I grabbed my bike and

122
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,320

Speaker 7: he's like fading away and he makes it right and

129
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 7: when I get to the corner, let's say ten seconds later,

Speaker 4: and look. But then when I got to breakfast and

157
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 4: he showed me the video, I was like air dropped

158
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 4: me that, Like I have to post that, Like it

159
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 4: was just too funny. Like sometimes you have to laugh

160
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 4: at yourself, like I don't take myself that serious, and

161
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 4: I'll be like, like, it's nothing, I gonna do what.

162
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go around Paris and look for this guy.

163
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 6: So when you said why would you do that, you

164
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 6: didn't realize it was the guy you had just got into.

165
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: It at first.

166
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 4: No, no, no, I was playing. I was strolling. Oh no,

167
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 4: I was just messing around. I knew why he did it.

168
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: I mean, even though I didn't think, you know, I

169
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 4: really did anything to him. He started with me. He

170
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 4: was cursing at me and like screaming at me in French,

171
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 4: calling me an f an American. But yeah, that's the

172
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 4: full story for the world.

173
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 3: How did you get into skateboarding? When did you think

174
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: it was gonna be a business? Because you know, most

175
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 3: people know they skateboard, they ride bikes for fun as

176
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: a kid. But when did you say, oh, this is

177
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 3: a business, is gonna be my life.

178
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 4: So I'll tell you the story how I got into skateboarding.

179
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 4: It's really funny. Actually, so my brother at the time,

180
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 4: he's still my brother, but we're not cool. That's another

181
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 4: funny story. But he we were at his cousin at

182
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 4: his grandmother's house and her nieces and nephew lived there.

183
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 4: And remember those TVs that like was kind of built

184
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 4: it not TVs, but it'll be a TV and it's

185
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 4: like like the the speakers and stuff speakers, and then

186
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 4: it had like cabinets we can put stuff exactly. And

187
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 4: then it had remember like the CD things, the books

188
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 4: you could open up.

189
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: You remember.

190
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 2: Exactly.

191
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 4: So it was one of those they had that, and

192
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 4: they just had a bunch of video games in it,

193
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 4: and we wanted it, and we knew they wouldn't like

194
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: ask us. I mean, they wouldn't give it to us,

195
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: so we were like, let's take it. So we took

196
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 4: like a couple of video games and uh put it

197
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 4: in my private parts so like if they started looking

198
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 4: for it, they wouldn't know where.

199
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: You don't know what you make stealings sound like. Yeah,

200
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: it was just cool. I just took it like we

201
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 2: were kids.

202
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 4: We were kids. We were like no, I was like nah,

203
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 4: he was probably thir teen, So we took I took

204
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 4: the We took the video games, and one of them

205
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 4: happened to be a skateboarding game, not to not Tony Hawk,

206
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 4: It's called skate It was just called skate. They have

207
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 4: Skate one, Skate two, Skate three, and they they're finally

208
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 4: making a new one after like a decade. So I

209
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 4: started playing the video games, and when I played the game,

210
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 4: we were like, I was like, really in the video games,

211
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 4: we didn't really go outside. I lived in Jersey at

212
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 4: this time, and I learned about skateboarding kind of like

213
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 4: the tricks and stuff from playing the video game. And

214
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: one day it was like summer, my mom came home

215
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 4: and she was like, all, y'all do is play the

216
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 4: video game? Like y'all need to go outside? And I

217
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 4: was We were like, we don't have no money. So

218
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 4: she gave us like sixty dollars each and then we

219
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 4: walked the target and bought skateboards. And then from there

220
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 4: I just kept skating and skating, and I was probably

221
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 4: like nine ten at the time. I didn't really know

222
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 4: I could maybe make money off of it. Till I

223
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 4: was like fourteen, I started getting paid. Yeah, what's Upbreme?

224
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 5: Before you said with Supreme, what was your connection to

225
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 5: like fashion and like the arts, because I think you

226
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 5: talked about people in your uh in skateboard and make

227
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 5: money based off of kind of like your look and

228
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 5: kind of like the brand people know you for, like

229
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 5: your look, your brand, your fashion as well too, Like

230
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 5: what was that connection before you started getting too brand news.

231
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm raised in New York, I'm Bronx Harlem,

232
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 4: so I feel like, just like styling, all of that

233
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 4: has been around. So just watching my family and stuff

234
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 4: grow up, I was always getting fly and stuff, so

235
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 4: I feel like my mom always kept me in like

236
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 4: good clothes and stuff, so I will always have like

237
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 4: cool gear to skating. And then I guess that you know,

238
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 4: potentially uh moved on into me skating in it and

239
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 4: then getting noticed and then yeah, how.

240
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 6: Did you convince you your mom that you know this

241
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 6: could actually be a profession.

242
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 4: I had to beg her, honestly. I remember when the

243
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 4: first deals was coming around, even signing was supreme, Like

244
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 4: the money was so small. Like she was like, they're

245
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 4: trying to play you that you look up on Google

246
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 4: they were I think at the time it was forty

247
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 4: million definitely for me. Yeah, she was like, they're not

248
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 4: about to play my son. Da da da da, And

249
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 4: I used to like cry. I had to beg her,

250
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 4: like just please trust me, like I'm not doing this

251
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 4: for money. I would do it for free, like this

252
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 4: is like it's gonna come. I just have to like

253
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 4: build my name. I knew that if I like grind

254
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 4: it one day, I could potentially make money and like

255
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 4: make some some real money. But it wasn't really about

256
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 4: the money to me at that time. You know, I

257
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 4: was just young, and I was like, I would do

258
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 4: this for free, so you know, I just needed the opportunity.

259
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 6: I love stories like this because you know, I always say,

260
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 6: you just got to listen to your kids, and your

261
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 6: kids will tell you exactly what it is that they

262
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 6: want to do. So you was playing this skate game

263
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 6: and then when you got this money, you went out

264
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 6: and you bought this skateboard.

265
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 2: Like what was in your mind.

266
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 6: Like what was on your spirit that said, I know,

267
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 6: this is what I want to do for the rest

268
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 6: of my Like this is what's going to change the

269
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 6: trajectory in my life.

270
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 4: Well, I remember it was like a definitive moment where

271
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 4: I like made a decision and I was young. I

272
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 4: wanted to be a wrestler and I wanted to be

273
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 4: Spider Man too, Like that's what I was into. Like

274
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 4: I used to have, like I used to like really

275
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 4: like Spider Man. I thought that that was a profession

276
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 4: and Peter Parker, Nah, Toby Maguire, that was that was that, yeah,

277
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 4: Peter Parker. And then I wanted to be a wrestler

278
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 4: as well. And then but I was skating, so I

279
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 4: would like. I was like, my mom was like, which

280
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 4: one are you good to be? And then I was

281
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 4: just like we moved back to the Bronx and I

282
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 4: was like, yeah, I'm gonna just skate like that was

283
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 4: the most fun to me, and I just stuck with that.

284
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 6: So yeah, and it was a period where it's like

285
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 6: hip hop really, I guess kind of made skateboarding. I

286
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 6: guess I'm not cool, or maybe we would. I'm not

287
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 6: gonna say cool because it was already cool, but when

288
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 6: the hip hop artist started doing it, it kind of

289
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 6: made it easier for you as a black kid.

290
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 4: Yeah right, Yeah, for sure. I feel like growing up

291
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 4: in the Bronx and stuff, people be like make references

292
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:07,479
Speaker 4: Tony Hawk obviously well skated low Wayne.

293
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

294
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 4: I feel like but even though like Loop A, he's known,

295
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 4: but I feel like certain people where I'm from, at

296
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 4: least I'm not gonna say they don't know Loupe, but

297
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 4: that that's not like first to mine, Like they would

298
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 4: probably be like yeah, like Wayne and they would say push,

299
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 4: But I don't I don't think they put two and

300
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 4: two together, like you know what I'm saying, Like, I

301
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 4: don't know if they even know who sing that song.

302
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 4: It was just more like a famous song.

303
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: What did that do for skateboarding culture from your perspective.

304
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 4: I mean that was already like out, so I didn't

305
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 4: see it firsthand. But I don't think skateboarding was accepted

306
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 4: where I grew up, Like it was like people used

307
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 4: to just like kind of laugh and thought it was

308
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 4: like funny that I skated, but I was into it.

309
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 4: But I remember I kind of lived like two lives,

310
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 4: like because you know, I grew up in New York

311
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 4: and like having like family and streets and stuff, so

312
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 4: they always kept me fly. So when I would go

313
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 4: to school, I would wear like Jordans and like stuff

314
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 4: like that. But then I would go home and like

315
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 4: put on my skate clothes, and it was kind of

316
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 4: like I had a double life. Like I would go

317
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 4: to school in the Bronx and like this crazy environment

318
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 4: and then I would like go home change my clothes

319
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 4: take the train all the way downtown, and it was

320
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 4: like a different world from me. Like it was white people,

321
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 4: Asian people, all different type of races just brought together

322
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 4: by skateboard and it's not really like color and skateboarding,

323
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 4: Like it's just like everybody kind of having fun, so

324
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 4: that it.

325
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: Was into it a lot too. Like I would always

326
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: see I feel like that people always thought.

327
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: Skateboarders was soft.

328
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I would always see skateboard as fuck somebody

329
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 3: up all the time. The skateboards beat somebody's ass and

330
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 3: beat somebody's car.

331
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: Did y'all always get in.

332
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 3: The problems of trouble when people thought y'all were soft

333
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 3: or cut y'all off or.

334
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 4: If it's sure, definitely, I think like people don't associate

335
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 4: skateboar board and like being tough. But you know, it's

336
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 4: just like that's anything. You know. I'm not saying that

337
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 4: people walk around like I'm a tough guy, but nigga's

338
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 4: not soft. It's just like, but like a skateboard is

339
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 4: a weapon. If you hit somebody with a weapon, Like

340
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 4: I've known people who hit people with skateboards and like

341
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 4: put them in a coma, Like you don't even play

342
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 4: with that, Like it's like a metal object that could

343
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 4: really hurt somebody. So that's like if you have to

344
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 4: do that. But obviously, like you see in kids, they

345
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 4: hit the guy with the skateboard and stuff. It's happened,

346
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 4: but it's really dangerous.

347
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 6: It's funny too. You said you used to get fly,

348
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 6: but then you go home and dress like a skater.

349
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 6: But there was a time where that was getting fly

350
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 6: for some people.

351
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I remember the transition. Like at first,

352
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 4: like I used to wear a state skates like skate stuff,

353
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 4: and they would be like, that's like you look like

354
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 4: a white boy or whatever. But then it kind of

355
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 4: like got popular, you know, with like streetwear and all

356
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 4: that stuff, and then it was more accepted. So it

357
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 4: was funny to see the transition. But it's dope when

358
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 4: you know. To me, some skaters don't like it when

359
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 4: they feel like people come into the culture, but I

360
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 4: think it's cool. It brings more odds to the sport

361
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 4: and all of that stuff.

362
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 5: So it was Virgil. I read that Virgil. You and

363
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 5: Virgil Ablow had a really good relationship. Yeah, we were

364
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 5: cool taking a streetwear.

365
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we were actually working on something before he

366
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 4: passed away. It never came to light. But yeah, virtual

367
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 4: was cool. We would talk and we were going to

368
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 4: do a collaboration with my brand and off White that

369
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 4: we were working on. But yeah, his untimely demise, Yeah,

370
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 4: it never came out.

371
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 6: When stuff like that happens, do you just let the

372
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 6: whole idea die?

373
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: Do you?

374
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 4: I mean I really didn't have a I didn't know

375
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 4: what to do, you know at that time was it

376
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one. I remember my modeling agent called me

377
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 4: and told me. But I wasn't going to be like,

378
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 4: you know, people are grieving and stuff like that. I'm

379
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 4: not going to reach out to his family or like, yo,

380
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 4: we you know, sorry for your loss. But by the

381
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 4: way we were working on it, that yeah, exactly. At

382
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 4: that point to me, it's like, you know, they if

383
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 4: somebody from his team knew about it and they and

384
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 4: they reached out and was like I knew you guys

385
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 4: were working on this, like we want to continue it.

386
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 4: But that never happened, and it's okay, you know.

387
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,479
Speaker 2: Much do you have to hurt yourself to get as

388
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: good as you've gotten? How many injuries, broken.

389
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 4: Bones, knock on wood? I never really I never broke

390
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 4: a bone, but you obviously you fall and stuff like.

391
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 4: I just think skateboarding teaches like it's like a life lesson,

392
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 4: Like you have to keep going to get over the hurdle,

393
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Like, Yeah, if I had

394
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 4: a dollar for every time I've heard like, yeah, I

395
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 4: tried skateboarding once, but I fell and I quit, you

396
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. Because people don't like to fall

397
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 4: once or twice and then they're just like, oh, that hurt,

398
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 4: But like, you get used to it. It's like working out.

399
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 4: When you first start working out, your body's really sore,

400
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 4: and you keep doing it, and you keep doing it

401
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 4: and you get used to it and you learn you

402
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 4: just have to like wanna you know what I'm saying,

403
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 4: and strive to get better.

404
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 3: I was asking, you, know, what do you do to

405
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 3: push the limit, right, because I've seen a lot of

406
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 3: things you did. You work with Louis Baton, right, you.

407
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: With Steven Victims, arise in front of the house.

408
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 3: I see you jump over a million dollar Ferraris in

409
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 3: the middle of Manhattan. So what do you do to

410
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 3: push the limit for the next generation that you know,

411
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 3: things that we haven't seen or things that you want

412
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: to do.

413
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 4: I just think it's limitless, you know, like even like

414
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 4: to the Ferrari. Let's just use that as an example.

415
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 4: Like I try to when I skate I want to

416
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 4: like make it relatable because skateboarding, to me is so

417
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 4: what's the word. It's just like you don't understand it.

418
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 4: You just see like somebody flying in the air. And

419
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 4: I think that skateboarding gets like culturally, it's like accepted

420
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 4: because people understand it's cool, and it's like the like

421
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 4: you know, like I don't know, some people won't call

422
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 4: it a sport, but it's the sport that like the

423
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 4: outsiders because you do it alone. It's an individual whe

424
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 4: like basketball or something like that. As a team and

425
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 4: you go to a stadium and stuff like that, and

426
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 4: it's more you could dissect it easier. Like you know,

427
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 4: somebody's running down the court, they pass, they shoot, it's two,

428
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 4: it's three, you know what I'm saying. Skateboard and you

429
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 4: can't learn everything. It's impossible because there's like combos. You

430
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 4: could jump onto this table and man, you and this that.

431
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. So it's literally impossible to

432
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 4: be able to do every trick, so and I think

433
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 4: that's why I gravitated to it as well, because you know,

434
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 4: to me, I like to keep setting a bar, but you.

435
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: Still learn new tricks, you still do new things.

436
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 4: Or oh man, it's kind of hard because I mean

437
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 4: I try to learn new tricks. Sometimes I get new tricks,

438
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: but now I'm at a point like you know, it's

439
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 4: a gift in the curves, but I go to the

440
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 4: skatepark and people watch me, so it's kind of like,

441
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So it's kind of like

442
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 4: a little like weird sometimes trying to learn a trick

443
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 4: because people look at you at this point like you're

444
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 4: a professional, like they thinking they're mind Like you probably

445
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 4: could just land everything. So when you're trying to like

446
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 4: go into the like I'm trying to train, kind of

447
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 4: vibe at like a public place and somebody might be

448
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 4: filming you, or this is just kind of hard, you

449
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. You don't see you know, Luca

450
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 4: in the park practicing, you know what I'm saying. He

451
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 4: has a private facility where he's training and he could

452
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 4: try to learn new things. So I'm working on that

453
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 4: right now to try to get a private indoor skate park,

454
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 4: so I could practice. Are there new tricks though, I

455
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 4: mean yeah, not new tricks, but tricks you probably haven't done,

456
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. Like I mean, I'm sorry

457
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 4: to keep referring back to basketball, but like you know,

458
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 4: somebody might not be able to go left as easy

459
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 4: or see what I'm saying, So they could practice that,

460
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 4: or they can't dunk through their let you know what

461
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 4: I'm saying. So it's impossible to know everything. You know,

462
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 4: as good as you are, you could always progress, so

463
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 4: you know.

464
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 5: I know Charlotte aks about what was the LV the

465
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 5: friend of the house thing. I told them people to

466
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 5: explain it and for real brought you into that. Was

467
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 5: it because of the virgin of a relationship or just

468
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 5: because he's been like watching what you've been doing.

469
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 4: I'm sure. I don't know if it's because of the

470
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 4: virgin relationship. I think he's just a fan of skateboarding.

471
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 4: He obviously skateboards. He likes the sport and the culture,

472
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 4: and probably thought I was a good representative for the

473
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 4: brand and bad I guess I'm sponsored by Louis Vuitton.

474
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 4: Events with them, yeah, events close go to the shows,

475
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 4: campaigns stuff like that.

476
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 6: So yeah, money, black people accepted into skating, Like is

477
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 6: it one of those things where it's.

478
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,239
Speaker 4: Just yeah, I think black people skate is accepted as

479
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 4: skating for sure. I mean I don't think there's like

480
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 4: a lot of professional black skaters maybe like twenty twenty five,

481
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 4: but yeah, we're accepted for sure.

482
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 6: And what's the evolution of skateboarding and really the evolution

483
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 6: of you? Because you know what, I hear things like

484
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 6: skateboards coming out of like with are you in that?

485
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 2: They're gonna be.

486
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm in Tony Hawk coming out, so

487
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 4: that's cool. They got a new one, a remastering, so

488
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 4: that's about to come out. I was in the last one.

489
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 4: The evolution of skateboard, that's a great question. I don't know.

490
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 4: It's in the Olympics now, you know. I just think

491
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 4: it's getting bigger and better, Like Louis Vuitton is sponsoring it.

492
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 4: So I'm excited to see where it goes, and maybe

493
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 4: it does get to a place where it's like a

494
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 4: basketball or football and people really dive into it more

495
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 4: and look at it and you know, try to understand

496
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 4: it a little bit more. Besides just like skateboarders are

497
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 4: cool or like have like a fashion aspect to them.

498
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 4: So honestly, the it's unknown where it could go. I

499
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 4: think this guy's the limit.

500
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 6: And Tony Hawk's still the guy guy right like he

501
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 6: is he the godfather of it.

502
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 4: All, for sure. It's interesting we had I was having

503
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 4: a conversation somebody. It's interesting that he's the only like

504
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 4: he made it it like really mainstream. Like when people

505
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 4: think of skateboarding, they refer to yeah, but it's only

506
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 4: been one Like you don't, like imagine music, when people

507
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 4: thought of rap, they just like Biggie Biggie. You want

508
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 4: to be like Biggie, But there's a thousand rappers, you

509
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So that just goes to show

510
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 4: like how like skateboarding is just weird in that way

511
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 4: that it hasn't been Like everybody who's like super famous

512
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 4: off skateboarding, they got famous doing other things. Like Tony Hawk,

513
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 4: he's so famous because of the video games. Rob deer

514
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 4: Deck is Rob Deardeck because he had the TV show.

515
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 4: So I think there's always another element to like getting

516
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 4: over to that real mainstream level, you know what I'm saying.

517
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody ever successfully did it just being

518
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 4: a skateboarder.

519
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 6: That's how you know somebody famously. I'm watching the super

520
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 6: Bowl commercials, the DraftKings commercials.

521
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 2: I think it was this weekend? What did this weekend?

522
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 2: Last week? Last weekend?

523
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 6: And it was like it was Kevin Hart was in it,

524
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 6: the Undertaker and Emmitt Smith and Ludacris and Doctor J and.

525
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 2: Tony Hawk, you know what I mean.

526
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 6: And I'm just like, you don't even think about it,

527
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 6: but that's just how famous he is.

528
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 2: Because I'm not in the state.

529
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 4: He's a name at this point, it's like he's he's huge.

530
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 2: He's actually said to myself, Damn, Tony Hawk got old.

531
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 4: Yea Tony Hawk is grown. So I mean, that's what

532
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 4: I was when I was having a conversation with my peoples.

533
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 4: He was like, who's going to carry that sword forward?

534
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that's going to be me or whatever,

535
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 4: you know, but it would be interesting to see who's

536
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 4: able to obtain that level next, you know what I'm saying,

537
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 4: Who's going to be the next generation of skateboarding that

538
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 4: the Charlemagne or the Envs like you want to be?

539
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, because it only it only

540
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 4: refers back to Tony Hawk.

541
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: I don't even know how I know Tony Hawk.

542
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 4: Exactly video games.

543
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 2: I mean, he's I really don't know. I'm just I'm

544
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 2: knowing my whole life, but I don't know. I'm like,

545
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 2: why do I.

546
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 4: Feel like he's like Shack at this point or like

547
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 4: a Snoop Dogg, Like he gets like endorsements, like he's

548
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 4: like on a I don't know, like what's the acts commercials?

549
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 4: So you know what I'm saying. So like he's like

550
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 4: miss in like Middle America and all of these places

551
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 4: because like they really watch TV and you know, all

552
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 4: of those things.

553
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: When do it gets you to that?

554
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 4: I think again, it has to be another element because

555
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 4: I think skateboarding you don't understand it. It's just flying

556
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 4: in the sky. Are you doing a trick? Or he

557
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 4: jumped down some stairs or oh that looked crazy? You

558
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. If you don't skateboard, you don't

559
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 4: understand it, right, So.

560
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 5: You know, yeah, do you like because it's not a

561
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 5: lot of black skateboarders, do you ever have issues sometimes

562
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 5: where like people are like there's discrimination, racism, like that

563
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 5: type of thing, Like do you come up against that

564
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 5: at all, it seems like, I mean, that seems like

565
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 5: you're doing very well. You have all the major brands,

566
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 5: but even with like the LV thing, you know, there's

567
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 5: always like the push for more black in the couture spaces,

568
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 5: but you're a couture in that world and you also skateboarder,

569
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 5: and people always you know, we don't know much about

570
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 5: the skateboarding.

571
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say like in a brand space. I mean,

572
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 4: obviously I've experienced like weird things throughout my career. I've

573
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 4: been in skating since I was thirteen, you know, but

574
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 4: it was maybe from like other pro skaters, but you know,

575
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 4: it was not like from like companies or anything. I

576
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 4: would say, but you know, I wouldn't make it like

577
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 4: a race thing, like oh, it's so like diverse, but

578
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 4: certain things happen sometimes when you're in spaces and stuff,

579
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 4: and it wasn't like anything super catastrophic, but like, you know, I.

580
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 5: Just wonder because I don't hear much about it, Like

581
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 5: you don't hear much about like with the NFL, there's

582
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 5: so much conversations and NBA don't I've never heard anything. Yeah,

583
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 5: skateboard m hm. You gotta rage against the machine.

584
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think that if there is like

585
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 4: skateboarding is so small that like even if there are

586
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 4: things that did happen, people don't really want to speak

587
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 4: up because skateboarding is like controlled by like the people,

588
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 4: the ogs, who had the market for so long. I

589
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 4: was like, if you come out and you're like maybe controversial,

590
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 4: then they could just like clip you.

591
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 6: And I love your hoodie because you know the Simpsons.

592
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 6: That's another reason I think the skateboarding so much because

593
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 6: of that any influence.

594
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 4: Nah, it was really just a video game. I don't know.

595
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 4: This was a gift from a friend. But yeah, I

596
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 4: never really watched the Simpsons, like a couple of episodes,

597
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 4: but yeah, yeah, yeah, that's like famous for sure.

598
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: How did you connect with Stephen Victim through a friend?

599
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 4: I called a friend and I was like, I'm looking

Speaker 4: he was like, we're going to go to his office.

617
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 4: And then we came to his office and he was

618
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 4: he was like, so, what do you want to do again?

619
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 4: And I was like just telling him. Like he's like,

620
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 4: you think you could do it? I was like yeah,

621
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 4: I think so, like for sure. And then he's like

622
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 4: all right, we're going to set it up this week

623
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 4: and then like three days later we made it happen.

624
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 4: It was just something I wanted to do, like I

625
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 4: just have, you know, random ideas.

626
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 3: Like that wasn't a typical Ferrari because one a very

627
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 3: few to call a friend who gets Stephen Victor on

628
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 3: the phone about probably four million right now, it has

629
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 3: no top. It's it's one of those ones that there

630
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 3: is no fixing it.

631
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: You fucked that up.

632
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 2: It's a rat But it was.

633
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 4: But that's why you say. You make it sound like that.

634
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 4: But it was innocent. It wasn't like so premeditated, like

635
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 4: I wanted to do it, but I didn't know that

636
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 4: it was gonna be like that. You know what I'm saying,

637
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 4: Like I didn't know, not even just the car. I

638
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 4: didn't know that, like people would gravitate to it so crazy.

639
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 4: I thought, you know what I'm saying, but it resonates

640
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 4: you know exactly how I said, Like you don't know tricks,

641
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 4: but you know that car. You get what I'm saying.

642
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 4: So in your mind you like, oh shit, he just

643
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 4: jumped over a four million dollar car. You know what

644
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 4: I'm saying.

645
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: The way I first saw it, I just thought it

646
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: was the car was parking.

647
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: You just did it roll.

648
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

649
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 3: Then when I found out that, I said, Steven is crazy. Yeah,

650
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 3: I don't know what he got too much money.

651
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 2: For all that.

652
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,440
