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!
