Chops and Mr. Sunshine talk hot sauce. So your loose trucks are the stuff of legend, but before we get into that, I have another set-up related question.... grip over bolts? Why? (laughs) I don’t know if I saw someone do it or what, but I just like it. And I’ve been doing it for a long time, too. I want to say since right around the time I turned pro. I just like the way it looks and feels. How so? It feels smoother, for some reason. And honestly, I just got sick of looking at my bolts. They look lame to me... they’re kinda distracting. This way, it makes my board feel more like a hovercraft. (laughs)...

Conducted July, 2019. So talk to me about growing up in Huntington Beach as a skateboarder. I feel like the beginning of all this is probably the easiest place to start. Well, my brother, James, and I got plastic department store skateboards in 1977. We tooled around on those for a bit. But at that age, whenever you get a plastic skateboard, you don’t really consider yourself as much a “skateboarder” as you do a kid with a cool new toy to roll around on. Because we were also into BMX racing and riding dirtbikes, too. A pretty typical Southern California upbringing in the 70’s. I ended getting another store-bought skateboard a little later on, a Variflex. It had the...

Stereo Swingers, Art by Alyasha Owerka-Moore @stackaly “I grew up in a household full of Jazz. When Dune and J.Lee started Stereo, I was blown away by the concept of a Jazz based skateboard brand. Jazz and skateboarding!? Of course! It’s perfect! You couldn’t get more Punk than this. It was the coolest thing I’d ever seen. The skaters they had on the team, the graphics, the ads, the videos and the photographers and videographers they chose to work with were all brilliant. It helped me see/define continuity in a brand and the importance of it. (While still being freeform) Stereo in many ways was the bar that was set in my own future work. They proved you could do your own...
