definitely go back.
What were you barfing from?
I throw up every day almost.
When I skate I just get really hot
and start throwing up. And it
was so hot there I just couldn't
stop throwing up. I had some
stomach problems or something.
You usually throw up?
Yeah, usually when I go
skate and stuff.
It's just part of the deal?
It just happens.
I used to know a guy like that.
It's all right though, you
know. Gabe does this thing
where he can regurgitate his
food. Like any time he can just
throw his food up. I'm slowly
getting to that stage.
What's it like shooting with the
best photographer in skating
Gabe Morford?
He's the best. He takes care of
me and he's my friend and I don't
know what I'd do without him.
He's got the spots and he knows
where to go.
We collaborate and have a
great time. He skates better than
half the people...
Do you know what a palin-

Like "A man, a plan, a canal,
Panama." What does His
Highness of Shyness do on an
average day?
I do a different thing every
day. I take a shower every day,
I guess. I listen to some music,
get amped.
Like?
What music I listen to?
Yeah. Besides Sonic Youth.
I like Stereolab, and ... I like a
lot of music. I like anything that
gets me going.
What's the longest you've ever
gone wearing the same pair
of pants?
I've worn tan Dickies for about
three years every day. I wear
them every day. I only have one
pair of pants, and they're tan
and they're Dickies. I wear them
till they're destroyed and then I
buy another pair. They just rot.
They're gnarly but they feel
good. They're comfortable.
They're a part of you.
They're definitely a part of me.
Why so much handrail coverage?
I don't know. I have fun skating
handrails. It just happens and
works out like that. I don't just
"I THROW UP
EVERY DAY ALMOST."
