Monday, Nov 12, 2007 · Garry

Sam: I really dig your shoe. Any plans on a Theory 2?
Thanks. Yeah, but it’s called the Theory 1.5 and it’s gonna be 10 times better then the first one!

loganxmadness: Do you think you will ever make it into a SKATE game? I mean, if P.J. can do it, you can.
I’m gonna be in it next year!

andyman90: Would you ever get, like, a diamond bling chain that says Chocolate on it?
No, I think I’ll leave the diamond chain stuff to Jeremy!

Teenageriots: If you had a million dollars to blow on whatever you wanted, what would you spend it on?
I would spend it on a warehouse and put a skatepark in it!

Teenageriots: What am do you think is killing it?
Sean Malto.

mannyskater: How do you get so tech on rails? Do you learn tricks on ledges first, or do you feel more confident going straight to rails?
No, I learn the tricks on ledges and flat bars first, then go to the rails.

thedanmaster: What’s your signature trick that you have on lock?
Back flip.

drewjames08: There’s a gap I’m sure you know about in the Valencia Industrial Center. They call it the Eldridge Gap. What’s the best/most fun trick you’ve done down it?
Well, we put a bench down it and skate–that is pretty fun.

newyorkcity53: Do you have a cousin named Chris Sano?
I don’t think so.

sk8s_in_montucky: Seeing your style of skating, I never expected a vulc sole. What made you go with it?
I just like the feel a lot. Being able to feel your board is always good.

gsosa1284: What video projects are you working on right now?
Chocolate video!

happy feet: If you had the chance to turn back time to whenever you wanted, when would it be?
It would be the ’70s. I just like that period of time.

Plan B_09: When are you going to do your signature nollie nosegrind down El Toro?
When someone gives me a lot of money.

Dusty: It seems like you’ve come along way since first getting hooked up on éS. With big names like Koston and Penny off the team, it seems like you stepped it up a lot. Were you bummed when some of the pros left? Did it motivate you to kick the skating up a notch?
It did both and now it’s way different, but I like the team, so it’s all good.

Dusty: I saw footy of you and Worrest wrestling in a van and it seems like you two get along really good. Is everyone on the éS team tight-knit like that?
Yeah, pretty much everyone likes and gets along with each other, so it’s fun.

The interview is over. Don’t ask any more questions.

Interview, Ask the Team, Justin Eldridge.
