and I posted a picture skating it. I guess I was the first person to skate it since someone cut it, but I didn’t know that. The cops just assumed it was me for no reason. Becker: I think the first or second time I had ever shot with you we went to San Jose right? I remember you had just gotten your driver’s license and I wouldn’t let you drive because I was scared to drive with you. Didn’t we have to “prep” spot that day? Garrett: Yeah, it was the 2nd story ollie. There was a big old tree right in the way. The branches were dangling down right where I wanted to ollie. So we went full tree trimming mode and probably spent a good hour or so trimming the tree and jumping from the balcony grabbing the tree and probably fucking that tree up to be honest. Is that illegal? If that’s illegal then someone "The cops just assumed it was me for no reason." just did it while we were out getting lunch in San Jose. Becker: We used tow straps from my truck and tried to bend the fucker down to break it. Garrett: Oh yeah , eventually pulling the branch down and I ended up skating it for like ten minutes. Becker: Yeah, because you landed it third try! So who do you currently throw yourself down these gigantic rails for? Garrett: Krew Denim, Krux Trucks, Arbor Skateboards, Ricta Wheels, Neff Headwear, Remind Insoles, Santa Cruz Boardroom, Adidas, and Lacorda Threads. Oh, and China. Becker: Thank yous? Shout outs? Garrett: Thank you to Josh and Mike from Skidmark, my sponsors, my fans, my friends, my family, my skateboard, and… fuck it, thanking myself too. I wouldn’t be me without me. I fucking kill it at being me. Thank you!
