Turf Skateboards Turf’s Up! Video

Turf Skateboards’ first video called Turf’s Up! is now out and available to watch or download from the Mumble Magazine website. Click here to watch it or right click and Save As if you would prefer to have it on your hard drive but be warned it’s 150mb. I can’t say the video was that great but Turf are only a new company so it’s to be expected I guess…

Matix Lord Of The Lines Footage

Finally, Matix have done a proper edit of the Lord of Lines contest and my favorite quote has to be from Eli Reed 

“These aren’t like pressured big time Mountain Dew like ‘if I don’t fuckin win I’m gonna cry’ contests’. It’s like real skate shit.”

 

I wonder which bitch he’s talking about…

Eric Koston Cold Call Interview

Here’s a little Cold Call interview with Eric Koston taken from the March issue of The Skateboard Mag. Word by Chris Nieratko.

Is it true you bought all your old èS footage so no one would ever see it?

Yes, for a large, undisclosed amount of money but not so that it would never be seen. We used some of it in Fully Flared. We’ll probably just let the rest of it rot. Maybe someday we’ll stick it somewhere.

How do you fee about your little bitch-princess Kobe Bryant this year?

God. Whatever. I’m numb. Just play and shut up. I’m definitely over him The Shaq thing started rubbing me the wrong way, then he started raping chicks. He’s a total kook but a great basketball player.

When the Lakers are losing, do you sometimes get happy when someone from the other team gets really hurt really bad?

No, that’s messed up. Bad karma. If the dude is likeable, then it sucks. If it was Reggie Miller at his all-time I-would-kick-his-ass-if-I-saw-him-on-the-street prime, then maybe. I would be stoked a little bit if he rolled his ankle. But it’s still bad karma.

Do you feel the same way at skate contests?

Not at all. I don’t take contests as serious as I do watching a basketball game.

What if some dude with their name tattooed on their back repeatedly snaked you at the X Games?

What do you mean, “if”? He has. He’s done it plenty of times; I don’t care. He can keep going all he wants. I’m in no rush.

Where does Eric Koston put his boogers when he picks his nose?

Behind friends’ couches or under their couch cushions. Actually they end up down the drain in the shower. I always blow my nose in the shower; it’s an Asian thing. Usually a good morning shower with hot water and steam will keep you clear for the rest of the day. Unless I find one in traffic. I’m a flicker. I’ll flick it out the window. I’m not going to leave it in the car.

Sometimes I feel bad and just stick them in my pocket.

No. What? I can’t do that. You just flick them if you’re outdoors. If you’re indoors, you can do the fingernail swipe on an old piece of paper and put it in the garbage can. You don’t need to be sticking them in your pocket.

You got married. Are you planning on having kids?

Yeah, I want a little bastard. Or a girl.

How many people have you come across that have named their kid Koston?

Four. It was four that I knew of, then Braydon Szafranski told me that his brother had a son and he named him Koston. It’s a strong name. It has a lot of attitude.

And how does that make you feel, people naming their kids after you?

It’s a little weird, but it’s cool.

I don’t find it cool at all.

What, if someone named their kid Nieratko?

I would call that person and say “You, my friend, are a retard.”

Maybe it’s not after me, maybe they just like the name. It’s not always about me; I’m not going to be selfish here.

Have you considered naming your kid Koston?

Koston Koston? Uh… no. I’ll name him Rupert.

When Nike came knocking for Paul [Rodriguez], how much money did they offer you to go too?

They didn’t. There could have been an offer out there, but it was never brought to my attention.

I heard they offered you $25 million.

If that was true there’d be a big swoosh on my chest. Are you kidding me?

You’re supposed to say they did, and you turned it down for the love of the skater-owned companies.

Yeah, that’s what I meant. Not that there would be a swoosh on my chest. What you said. But honestly they never cam to me.

I read a Carroll interview recently where he was hating on people with agents in skateboarding. Was that directed at you?

I think so. Carroll made me fire mine. I manage myself now.

God. That sounds so difficult. When people tell you you’re the greatest skater of all time, do you ever say, “I know”

Yup. No. I’ve never said that. Maybe I will now, just one time.
