biggest kick out of?
The visor was pretty good, that was in
for a bit. I'd have to say the arctic
cammo. Those things should be illegal.
Green cammo, that's the shit. Whoever's
seen a blue tree?
Describe a memorable time when a girl
wanted to do dirty things to you
because you were a pro skateboarder.
You're filthy, Mike. You're a filthy man,
there. Loads of girls, fairly frequently,
want to shag you.
Loads?
Well, I could say at least once a week I
meet a girl that wants to shag me.
Where do you meet these girls?
Anywhere there's skateboarders, there's
fucking skate betties. They fucking love
it. But I don't shag skate betties. There's
a couple of lurkers, a couple of stalkers
about that come from, like, demo to
demo and they get all weird at you.
There's some stalkers about, I'll tell you
that much.
What percentage of them are over 18?
I'd say no percent of them. They're all
under 18.
Would you ever wear red shoes?
I have some red shoes at my house. I
don't want to say anything about red
shoes other than they were good. They
were good.
What do you think about Ken Park's
Prince tattoo?
Don't know anything about them.
Prince? Oh God, that is gay! That's
straight gay. Ken Park is a fuckin' woman.
What's your favorite skate video?
Oh, Video Days. No. Fuck that! If I
had to watch one video for the rest of
my life it would be Not the New H-
Street Video. I come from a fucked-up
generation, but that's it. I don't care. I'd
like to ask my own question to myself:
Why do I have the feeding habits I do,
which is pretty much vegan, and why do
I have leather in my car and dead ani-
mals in my house? Answer that one you
fuckin' psycho.
Yeah, go ahead.
I don't know. It's a contradiction but
I'm happy with it.
What are some good fight stories?
Fight stories are boring, but on a per-
sonal note I will tell you this: Arto
punched me in the face because I put
my finger in his water. He told me not
to, I did, and he punched me in the face.
Arto, you're dead.
