Shawn: Well, when I became friends with Christian we started skating, and I was just fooling around then I just kinda started.
Christian: I just started because it was kinda neat, and I tried out a guys board then I got one.
Shawn: Ollie, kickflip, boardslide, gotta land them…then I skate, I try to think of nothing, it helps me land tricks.
Christian: I think to myself "Lets go skate" then I sing to myself in my head, you know nothing in particular just any song.
Shawn: All the power to them, it’s their opinion, I would think they are gay, but that’s my opinion.
Christian: I don’t really know, some of us are "punks" but not everyone, I’m not really a punk I just like to skate.
Shawn: Well, that’s a tough question, they all skate totally different styles, Tony Hawk skates vert, Mullen skates freestyle and McCrank skates street. There is more to do in street. But over all Rick McCrank might take it, only because he has a pink sponsor deck.
Christian: I don’t know man, it’s too hard to say really, but I think Mullen is nuts.
Shawn: I rolled my ankle falling off a little piece of crap rail, I was out for a week.
Christian: I’ve sprained both ankles in the last like two months, I haven’t skated in over three weeks.
Shawn: I’d have to say a midget with a beer gut, because his belly would be touching the ground. But give him a mullet and call him god.
Christian: I think the lanky guy with a skullet just because the fat guy with a mullet is foolishly common.
Shawn: I don’t know dude, his square body would act as wind resistance and he would just blow over. I bet he could get crazy hang time though.
Christian: Shoot yeah! He’d be nuts even though he’s square, he’s a sponge, he’d be porous so the wind would go right through him, and he’d get hurt less too.
Shawn: Um…well when I first started skating me and Andrew Mazerolle (The Mazz) had this idea to start a skate team called the tech dogs, I know the name is gay that’s why it didn’t go anywhere. Then Christian just started the team to compete against Justin Chapple’s team called the b-team, which is dead now.
Christian: Pretty much what he said, I built the name off their name and the Tech Crew from school, (Thanks Ricky) but changed the spelling, at first I was going to be on the b-team but decided to start my own.
Shawn: Oh for sure man, there is this guy that skates at the KBM that thinks he’s king shit and a bag of potato chips. I always think to myself what the hell, I hate posers.
Christian: Yes, yes I have. I’m not going to name any names, but I’ll give you a hint, he always seems to want to fight people and he pooped off the KBM roof.
Shawn: That friggin’ endless knock knock banana orange joke. Man I still have nightmares about that…AHHH!!!
Christian: Three guys walked into a bar, you’d think by the second guy the third would of noticed it. I’m sure there’s a worse one but I can’t think of any.
Shawn: Pink Deck, Pink Wheels, Pink Trucks, Pink Bearings, Pink Hardware and also Pink griptape to top it off. Get that pun, top it off, because the grip goes on the top of the board.
Christian: A crazy pro fish board with like neon green, hot pink, and other crazy colors like that. Neon green grip too, maybe even pink wheels and yellow trucks.
Shawn: Well, there is no real leader, but Christian started the Krew.
Christian: Even though I started it every one gets a say in what goes
on.
Shawn: Pretty Slow, but good videos take time, and Subliminal Messages is DA BOMB.
Christian: Ok I guess I don’t have much footage because the lack of good ankles but everyone else is looking alright.
Shawn: I had the hardest time learning kickflips, a good month of practicing them everyday, even though it’s not that great of a trick.
Christian: I don’t know, I ollied off Shawn’s deck first try, it’s only like 4 feet but my ankle was kinda sore too.
Shawn: Good question. Probably I would like to invent a trick, a huge trick. I have always wanted to be a kid's idol. But if I did make it big, the first kid that came up to me for an autograph, I would pull out one of my spare decks, sign it and give it to him or her.
Christian: I never really thought about it before but the whole kid and the autograph thing would be good enough for me. It would be neat to have my own trick or record too.
Shawn: I usually would sleep or just sit back, crank the music, work on the website, and YELL A LOT…sorry.
Christian: I don’t know, ask him, all I can say is never look a gifted horse in the mouth, or Shawn.
Shawn: You definitely need a good camera, a good camera man who can get good angles on the tricks and can hold the cam steady, and defiantly you can’t talk when you the camera man, that’s a piss off. Just when you land a trick, you here "Oh yeah, I got that one" from some stupid cameraman.
Christian: Everything Shawn said but you need a decent style or you’ll look like a goof, and good tunes.
Shawn: For sure some more videos, a better website, and to get recognized like the bones Brigade.
Christian: I don’t know, maybe what he said, but I’m just playing them as their delt.
Shawn: By far Patrick from Spongebob, he reminds me of Christian.
Christian: Oprah or Sponge Bob, I just can’t decide.
Shawn: Well Thanks for the interview, Hope to have another one someday, and all those TK fans out there you’re my heroes.
Christian: Thanks to Neil and Scott for pretty much starting the site, and all the boys and girl behind the Krew. And a special thanks to Raisin Bran for putting bigger and jucier raisins in the cereal.
