I didnвЂ™t let some head-trip get in the way of me fully enjoying myself. When IвЂ™m 65 or 70 I want to know that I lived that day to the fullest. I can talk shit about that part of skateboarding and be bitter, but at the end of the day when I go out and get something itвЂ™s for me because I want that feeling. To me nothing else matters, this is for me. But the thawed-out Linkas the boys have named himquickly becomes a wild card in the teens' already zany southern California lives. I want to go out and I want to enjoy skateboarding. Encino Man High school misfits Stoney and Dave discover a long-frozen primeval man buried in their back yard. I found in this video a new sense of gratitude for skateboarding and this one is personal for me. IвЂ™ve been around for a minute and it was difficult for me to get started, difficult for me to do my best at this point in my career. At the start of this thing I had a really hard time with it because of all that stuff, because of all the questions. Looking at how old I am now, IвЂ™ve already done whatever IвЂ™ve done and all that stuff plays into who I am now. I experienced every emotion you can have across the board doing this video. Knowing that the all-consuming internet gobbles up footage, does it change your approach to making a video part? He wants it for you as bad as you want it for yourself. After a few hours IвЂ™m tired and IвЂ™ve had it and I donвЂ™t want to jump down that thing again but you need that and thatвЂ™s what Greg brings. In those situations I canвЂ™t always make a clear judgment. If youвЂ™re sitting on the edge of a ledge after landing a trick after two hours and you kind of dragged your toe heвЂ™ll say, вЂњMaybe you should do it again.вЂќ IвЂ™m glad he can say that to me and not bullshit me so I can go home completely satisfied with what I was able to do that day. HeвЂ™s the best there is and he will help you get the best out of yourself. Greg is trying to push the guys but also be cool at the same time and it gets trippy, man. Projects like this take their toll on the skaters and the filmers. That being said, itвЂ™s not always the easiest deal for the skaters or him. ItвЂ™s nice to work with someone that talented and heвЂ™s my friend at the end of the day so IвЂ™m stoked. That worry is removed from my head and all I have to do is worry about myself. I know if IвЂ™m trying something heвЂ™s going to film it well and I know the final product that IвЂ™m working towards, that all of us kill ourselves for, will be good. I donвЂ™t know what or where IвЂ™d be if I didnвЂ™t have a dude like Greg and his work ethic to be there and push me. I donвЂ™t know how the fuck we end up together everywhere.

IвЂ™m super lucky to have been able to work with this dude. LetвЂ™s talk about his craft and what he brings to the table. YouвЂ™ve made two previous videos with Greg.
