It's more of a timing issue for whenever the interview is actually completed and how tired I am. I've posted many interviews on Friday and come back on Monday.<br /><br />I am choosing to answer this query not for your benefit but for Mr Ricks'... as I wouldn't want him to incorrectly read as far into something like this as obviously you have.chopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711198796842525605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-82361905996140335412011-07-15T17:30:17.665-07:002011-07-15T17:30:17.665-07:00Only 2 days this was up before they move on?

Rad to hear all those old Powell stories and super stoked to hear he's still skating for the fun of it.<br /><br />Also stoked he mentioned Dan Peterka as one of his most underrated skaters. I used to see Dan a lot when he was a pro snowboarder for The Movement. I got flowed boards from another Movement rider Travis Wood and always looked up to Dan because he brought his smooth skate style to the hill.Skatelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16079456004926601363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-64132027484240901662011-06-16T21:18:11.822-07:002011-06-16T21:18:11.822-07:00Great interview.

U gotta buy your own trucks and flying under the radar as much as he has, I got a lot of respect and love for that. For those of us that had to "grow up" and move away from sk8ing for a while, you will always come back just for the "love." The article got me hyped to sk8 in the morning!
