NO TWO WAYS
about it, Cody Boat is an
amazing skater-He's a
child prodigy who skated
for G&S back in the day,
then bagged it for a while to
avoid the bullshit. Now he's.
back on board and back on
fire. Fluid style, big pop, tech
and gnar at the same time-
Cody rides it all at all times like a true Arizonian
and is not afraid to throw down. Although
somewhat soft-spoken at times, I asked him a
few questions in the hopes of getting more than
just monosyllabic responses.
Are you bummed that I just dragged you out of
that session to ask you these inane questions?
Yep.
What was the last trick you learned?
Backside lipslide over the hip-actually, over
the deck and over the hip.
I just saw you do that a minute ago. How
many tries?
Two.
Why do you like the Minutemen so much?
Because they're great. Because of their songs.
Read their lyrics.
What's up with 151?
They're rad. Zach rules.
Are they gonna hook you up or what?
I hope so.
They'd better after this shit, right?
I hope so. Let's see what happens.
What's up with Arizona?
It's good. Everyone should come check it out.
What's good?
No vibes. Everybody just skates because it's fun.
Where are you gonna go next?
Wherever someone will let me in the car to go.
What's the best park in Arizona right now?
I'd say Flagstaff, because it's fun and it's got real
transitions.
What about hippies?
They're all right. Farron's OK.
Who do you want to thank?
Lundry for this right here, everyone in Arizona
who skateboards, Jimmy, Colby, Pat, Levy,
Carroll, and anyone else I forgot. They know who
they are.

WHATS PUNK?
What's bunk?
Punk is doing it for yourself and not
letting anyone else take the power to
control your life out of your hands.
Bunk is Epitaph, jocks, and shaved
bleached heads.
What's up with your van? How do
you plan on keeping it clean?
Swanson helped me hook it up with
the smashface tip. My van isn't going
anywhere in the near future because
my friends are disrespectful oafs,
drunks, and pissdrunks.
Aren't you too?
I plead the fifth.
In ten words or less, why are you a
vegetarian?
Because I don't want their blood on
my hands.
Why do you think you're going to be
a schoolteacher?
I believe the revolution begins in the
hearts and minds of the young.
Are you a communist? Anarchist?
Antistructuralist? How do you
think kids' parents are going to
react when they find out that
their son Jimmy is being taught
by a FREAK?
Is that a real question? Communist,
no. Anarchist, yes. For antistructural-
ist, I suppose living with people who
are responsible for their actions, there-
by eliminating the need for the state.
Parents, I already dealt with them, and
they appreciate how their kids are
being taught.
What's up with diabetes?
I try not to think about it. It's the
worst thing that ever happened in my
life. It gets in the way of alcoholism.
Are you still a virgin, or does jacking
off dogs count?
Jacking off dogs counts.
What was the last trick you learned?
Bean disaster.
What's the punkest thing you've
ever done?
You'd have to ask someone else.
What about drinking Colvin's piss?
How'd that taste?
Pure rot.
Who's cool?
Smilin' Josh Kasner, Texas D,
Colvin I don't know if he's my friend
anymore though-Salba, and Smilin'
Josh Kasner again. Up the Pissdrunx.
