CORE Action Takes on the Action Sports Community


Grapevine, Texas (November 21, 2008)--CORE Action has entered full-steam into the action sports social culture. Having completed its beta-stage the CORE Action website has launched revealing its edgy, gritty look and first-rate content. At the heart of COREaction.com is the Nation, an action sports community that provides a forum for enthusiasts of all ages to communicate, share and express themselves through the sports they love.

CORE Action also provides its viewers with day-to-day coverage of what's happening in the action sports world--skateboarding, snow sports, surfing, motocross, BMX and water sports are all covered highlighting the best news, events, photos and videos from each discipline. CORE also informs and entertains users with in-house video coverage, featuring one-on-one interviews with top-pros, hot on the scene action from local and national events and short entertaining vignettes to get the adrenaline pumping.

While CORE reports on what's going on in the pro scene, our real ambition is to provide a forum for the young and up-and-coming athletes to get their story out and let themselves be known. Gone are the days of sending in "sponsor-me" tapes to companies in desperate and often futile attempts to get noticed. With CORE, the athlete can log-on to the Nation and post a bio, videos and photos in an effort to promote themselves within the community. CORE's main objective is to support the sport's underdogs and amateurs and to forge lasting partnerships within our member network as we grow into the future.

"Not only do we provide up-to-date original content, but we do it in a safe environment where kids are protected and can be among their peers." Kent Holcomb, President of CORE Action explains, "We closely follow the COPPA laws which protect underage kids from predators and mature content."

Nick Moscia CORE Action Marketing Director agrees, "We're all about reaching out to the action sports community. For us, it's about the kids. This is a place where they can hang out, chat with friends and check out the latest videos, news and events."

The CORE staff comes from within the action sports culture--skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, BMX and motocross. From the slopes of the Rocky Mountains to waves of Cocoa Beach, Florida, the CORE crew are embedded in their prospective scenes. Preserving the culture and empowering riders to enjoy their sports and to reach full potential is our objective at CORE Action.


CORE Philosophy--Within every discipline of action sports lay a CORE group of people. They are the ones pushing the boundaries and limits on a daily basis. CORE riders raise the bar and create new standards for the rest to follow. They are the epicenter of the Industry and help keep our Culture alive and thriving. These devoted folks eat, drink and sleep the sport which they are true to and willingly make sacrifices to keep the ride going. Living a CORE lifestyle defines these individuals and establishes a place for them in this world...

CORE Action was founded in 2007 and is an internet-based action sports community which specializes in social networking and providing premium action sports related content. For more information go to www.COREaction.com.

The Superman Mythos

by Thyroros

The term superman first entered into modern usage through the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche. This late nineteenth-century German philosopher was vehemently anti-Christian and never tired of condemning the faith as weak, absurd, even detrimental to human development. While Hitler admired him, and the Nazis are said to have made use of some of his ideas, Nietzsche did not actually share their racist and anti-Semitic views. (1) Thus it is not entirely incongruous that two young Jewish men from Cleveland, Ohio would have adopted the term for their own use. While many assume Superman is merely a work of science fiction, I do not believe this to be the case. I too grew up amid all the movies (the first film starring Christopher Reeve came out the year after I was born), cartoons, and TV shows, believing the Man of Steel to be nothing more than a slightly stale and out-dated comic book hero. However, after watching various episodes of Smallville, a very different interpretation of the American icon began to impress itself upon me.

As nonsensical or offensive as some people might think this to be, the tale of Superman represents an allegory of another well-known supernatural, extra-terrestrial being: Satan.

Before delving into some of the more specific correlations, and often glaring similarities, between these two legendary immortals, there is an important point which needs to be made regarding the nature of angels. Angels are extra-dimensional and other-worldly travellers who make infrequent appearances throughout the Bible and other related texts. They usually do not have wings, and they almost always appear just like men. The Seraphim and Cherubim are the only two celestial orders consistently described in the Bible which bear wings. While most angeaologies consider both orders to be angels, the highest orders in fact, neither the Old nor New Testaments refer to them as such. But this is really just a semantic argument that needn't be fully addressed here. Anyway, the English word angel is derived from the Greek angelos which simply means messenger, as does the Hebrew mal'ach, which is used in the Torah, the prophets, and other Hebrew writings. (2) These terms can be used to indicate human or divine beings. Many times the humans with whom angels communicate are not even aware of it until the supernatural visitors perform some act obviously beyond the capability of mere mortals. After closely examining all the Biblical references, I was forced to conclude that there is no overwhelming distinction between angels and what modern mythology refers to as aliens. Both are extra-terrestrial, and both seem to exhibit powers and/or technology beyond what might traditionally be considered human. Now, Satan, if standard Christian doctrine is correct, is a fallen angel, while Kal-El, or Superman, is a stranded, immigrant alien.

Objections may arise as angels are said to dwell in heaven while aliens inhabit the supposedly innumerable worlds located in the vast reaches of space. But again, the only difference between the concepts of heaven and space lie in the minds of people who refuse to acknowledge the simple facts. Both exist above and outside the earth, and both are impossible to visit for the majority of living human beings on this planet. Even now, after thirty-some years of manned space-flight, it still requires the pinnacle of human technology, and the availability of monumental resources, to even consider such undertakings. We haven't been to the moon in over thirty years according to official sources. Moreover, space remains extremely dangerous. It is a notoriously hostile environment; the slightest mistake or malfunction can bring about instantaneous death for even the most well-trained astronaut. So, heavenly realms and intergalactic space, not that different, right? Okay then, hopefully that matter is settled, and we can move on to Krypton.

As most of us know, Kal-El's homeworld, Krypton, was completely obliterated due to a nuclear reaction at its core, which resulted in the infant Kryptonian's emergency flight to earth. Now, some theorize that the asteroid belt in our solar system was created when a large, terrestrial planet located between Mars and Jupiter (often referred to as Astera/Astara) exploded some time in the past. (3) It's possible that this same cataclysm was also responsible for the destruction of the Red Planet's atmosphere and its civilization. Satan may also be connected with Mars and Astera, depending on one's interpretation of certain Old Testament books such as Ezekiel. Ezekiel states in chapter 28, verse 14 that the former anointed cherub, Satan, "walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire". It's not a very far stretch of the imagination to connect "the stones of fire" with planets. Please examine the following verses for more details:

Ezekiel 28:15-17 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground (Hebrew 'eretz is also often translated as land or earth), I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

So Satan may have ruled a physical civilization spanning Mars, Astara, and perhaps several moons as well. But he rebelled against his God and King, and was cast to the earth along with a third of the Heavenly Host (See Revelation 12:4).

The aforementioned information thus allows us to have a much clearer understanding of the scenario presented in Smallville 1961. While I don't disagree with Chloe about the possibility of genetic memory being stored in the DNA, I don't accept that this was necessarily true in Clark’s case. I believe it to be more likely that Jor-El and Kal-El are one person, not father and son. Here's how it works:

I. Jor-El is Satan. II. The father who exiled Jor-El/Satan to earth is actually the Father, as in Yahweh, the God of the Bible. III. Jor-El/Satan returns to space to continue the "War in Heaven" (See Revelation 12:7).. IV. In order to eventually assume the role of Anti-Christ, Satan devises a seemingly foolproof plan. Just as Yahweh/God limited himself in power when He assumed the form of Jesus/the Christ, Satan formulates a a similar device. He clones himself and denies this clone access to certain segments of his memory and powers. This way he will more easily deceive humans into believing that he is a righteous savior rather than evil incarnate. But he makes messages and recordings beforehand which will remind him of certain things at planned intervals. This will enable him to develop in the most ideal way in order to fit the role of the Christ more perfectly. V. Satan and his angels are defeated in the heavenly realms, Mars and Astera/Krypton is destroyed as a result. Satan transfers his consciousness/spirit from Jor-El to the infant clone, Kal-El and rockets off toward earth.

As additional support for this concept, let us explore the meanings of the principal character's names belonging to the Superman mythos:

Clark - Old English - Clergyman or learned man (4)

Kent - Welsh - Bright white, white or bright (5). Another interesting possible derivation of this name is from the Biblical Kenites (first mentioned in Genesis 15:19 as enemies of Israel), who may have been descended from Cain (for in Hebrew Cain is more accurately transliterated as Qayin, and Kenites as Qayini. Adding an "i" to the end of a name in Hebrew indicates the people or descendants of that personage. Israel/Israeli, Qayin/Qayini. See the pattern?) (6)

Kal-El - Can be translated as destruction or completion of God in Hebrew (or possibly 'all that is God/totality of God'). (7) El is the Hebrew word for God.*

Jor-El - J is actually pronounced Y (the letter Yod) in Hebrew. Possible translations are: Yare'-el - fear of God, Yarah-El - God teaches, taught of God, Yeru-El - God is a foundation, Yeri-El - founded of God; God will see. (8)

Krypton/Kryptonite - From the Greek words krypto - To hide; kryptos - hidden unseen, secret; krypte - hidden place (9)

Lex - Latin for law (Just in case 'Lex' is actually short for Alexander, Alexander is Greek for leader of men, alex (leader) + ander (men).10

Luthor (Luther) - Teutonic- famous warrior/ famous in war

Old German - Warring ones

German - warrior/famous people?. Martin Luther was a Catholic monk and theologian turned Protestant reformer (1483-1546). (11)

*If one is inclined to doubt that Kal-El and Jor-El may actually be Hebrew names, allow me to you remind you that both Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the original creators of Superman, were Jewish. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it's highly unlikely they would give their characters Hebrew-sounding names by pure chance. (12)

There are just a few more items of interest which may possibly be connections between Kal-El and the Red Dragon/Satan. Since Superman derives his powers from the sun, that would make him a kind of 'sun god'. Satan has sometimes been compared with the sun gods of ancient mythology such as the Egyptian Ra, the Greek/Roman Apollo and the Persian Mithra. The 'infinity serpent' burned onto Clark's chest in the second season finale of Smallville is another fascinating correlation, as Satan is often recognized as being or controlling the serpent in the Garden of Eden (Genesis chapter 3), and one of his titles in Revelation (12:9) is that "that old serpent". Finally, it would be quite simple to draw a pentagram inside the five-pointed shield emblazoned on Superman's costume. Pentagrams are used in ceremonial magic and Satanism the world over. Not that such a detail is conclusive, but I just thought I'd include it for the sake of being thorough.

So what does all of this mean? The reader, of course, is free to draw his or her own conclusions But here's what I believe; Superman comics, movies, and TV shows (and everything else in between) are Satanic Propaganda. Superman is the Anti-Christ/Satan and Lex Luthor, representing Christianity, is desperately trying to defend the earth against him. As the story is told from Satan's perspective, Lex is falsely demonized and portrayed as an insane criminal. In the words of Friedrich Nietzsche from Thus Spake Zarathustra, "God is dead. I teach you the superman." This is the lie that the father of lies is eager for us all to swallow down between mouthfuls of French fries and jelly-filled breakfast pastries.

In the early 90’s, director Larry Clark began to take notice of the Big Apple’s transient youth culture. A few years later, inspired and script in hand, Clark began shooting the film Kids. Fitzpatrick was casted as the lead Telly, though at the time he had no film experience. Now a veteran to the television and film industry, Leo has made appearances on shows such as The Practice, The Wire, Law and Order: Criminal Intent and My Name Is Earl. In his many film roles, Leo has since worked with such Hollywood names as John Cusack, Kate Bekinsale, Selma Blair and Jake Gyllenhaal to name a few. Now showing his versatility, Fitzpatrick has added screenwriter and part time DJ to his list of titles. This will be Leo’s Vancouver debut as a DJ.” —Color Magazine

Breaking News: Rep. Barney Frank and NORML Team Up on Federal Decriminalization Legislation
Posted by Ron Fisher to Legalize It - The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws March 24 10:39pm

US Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) has announced that he will shortly introduce legislation in Congress to strip the federal government of its authority to arrest responsible cannabis consumers. Representative Frank made the announcement Friday on the nationally syndicated television show, "Real Time With Bill Maher."

heres a link:
http://blog.norml.org/2008/03/24/norml-partners-with-rep-barney-frank-d-ma-to-introduce-federal-decriminalization-legislation/

“It's time for the politicians to catch up with the public on this [issue],” Frank said. "The notion that you lock people up for smoking marijuana is pretty silly."

Frank's pending bill seeks to eliminate all federal penalties prohibiting the personal use and possession of up to 100 grams (3 1/2 ounces) of marijuana. Under this measure, adults who consume cannabis would no longer face arrest, prison, or even the threat of a civil fine. The bill also eliminates all penalties prohibiting the not-for-profit transfers of up to one ounce of pot.

NORML Legal Counsel Keith Stroup, who worked closely with Frank's staff to draft this legislation, said, "If passed by Congress, this legislation would legalize the possession, use, and non-profit transfer of marijuana by adults for the first time since 1937." The bill incorporates the basic recommendation of the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse (also known as the Shafer Commission).

Currently, 12 states have enacted various versions of marijuana decriminalization, eliminating criminal penalties for minor pot violations. Passage of these laws has not led to increased marijuana use.

In fact, the only U.S. government study ever commissioned to assess whether the enforcement of strict legal penalties positively impacts marijuana use found, "Overall, the preponderance of the evidence which we have gathered and examined points to the conclusion that decriminalization has had virtually no effect either on the marijuana use or on related attitudes and beliefs about marijuana use among American young people."

Similar statewide legislation is pending in New Hampshire and Vermont. Additionally, Massachusetts voters will decide on a statewide decriminalization measure this November.

According to a nationwide CNN/Time Magazine poll, more than three-quarters of American adults favor decriminalizing marijuana.

Alerts will be posted to this page and www.norml.org once this bill is assigned a bill # and committee so that folks can contact their representative urging support of this bill.

For more information, please contact Keith Stroup, NORML Legal Counsel, at (202) 483-5500.

D.O.P.E. is coming!!!!
DEATH OR PRISON EVENTUALLY!!!!!
A true story about the greats of Skating
Bruce Logan World Champion 1975 76
Dogtowns Jay Adams maybe the skater who revolusionised skateboarding
Dennis Martinez world Chmapion
Christian Hosoi the skate star of the 80s
D.O.P.E. tracks the Rise and Fall and Redemption of Four major skateboard legends.
Stunning archival footage and current HD interviews take you on a rollercoaster ride through heaven and hell, where the highs of championship trophies are followed by the lows of addiction,homelessness,prison and death. Original music by Grammy winners ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, P.O.D> and SWITCHFOOT along with some exciting new musical groups is perfectly married with the gritty narration of famed actor DANNY TREJO. The Rise is steep the fall is brutal and the Redemption nothing less than miraculous.
 
Nobody"s going to get up for popcorn during this film; I coudn't turn away for a second.
WATCH IT
-Actor Danny Trejo
 
D.O.P.E is DogTown with a message. I've skated all my life, and write this with a broken wrist from skating. This film is all about brokenness, but so much more, this film is about redemption!!!
 
-Jim Moriarty, CEO Surfrider Foundation
 
Everyone pretty much knows that drugs wreck LIVES, but somehow the message doesn't seem to hit home enough to stop people from doin' 'em D.O.P.E. delivers the point with both barrels. With unflinching cander and unfeigned grit, the amazing story of one of skateboarding's founding legends; Dennis Martinez speaks with authority that transcends wards of power that will change lives.
 
-Skateboarding Legend Rodney Mullen
 
This movie shows how any person at the top of their game can be taken over by the uncontrolled power of drugs and be changed forever. You can only ride the edge so far before you FALL.
 
-Professional Skateboarder, 6 times X Games Champion Bucky Lasek
 
A Fascinating glimpse into the rise , fall and redemption of some of the world's greatest
- Michael Brooke, Publisher, Concrete Wave
 
In sharing this with you all I feel is blessed to be a part of this.
Like last year
Myself and Dennis Martinez are going to be going into the schools in the Cayman Islands to share this message and then on the 31st May 2008 we will be showing the movie in one of the local Cinemas.
Being in Law Enforcemnet I have had first hand experience seeing people make the wrong decision to get involved in drugs. I have seen families torn appart, people die because of drugs, do time, and suffer illnesses which have lead also to eventuall death.
 
Dennis Martinez is someone who has lived it at the top earning over $40,000.00US per month in the 1970's, he had alll sponsorships, shoes, boards, cars all the trimmings being the top dog in skating, he then threw it all away for drugs. Imagine  he pawned for $500.00US  of DOPE his pride and joy his WORLD CUP which he set his eyes on from the age of 12 years old. He lived on the streets saw his freinds die, robbed for a living to also feed his drug habit. He did time in prison; then something changed he now has a life he is a tireless worker for the better. He now pasters to CAT 4 prisoners he shares his experience so others do not make the same mistakes he and others made. I advise all to watch this movie as their are lessons to be learned by all
if you use drugs think about what help is out there seek it and get off it and if you know people do the right thing as a freind help them. THE LIFE YOU SAVE MIGHT BE YOUR OWN.
If you come to the Cayman Islands to skate BLACK PEARL you can say hi cause I will be there. a skater and PROUD FARTHER of
Brian 16
Sean 7
Juliana 2 she also skates
They skate and can be seen at Black Pearl

Police, youth try new approach to getting helmets on boarders

By STACEY COLWELL

 BRIDGEWATER - The Bridgewater Police Service is taking a new approach to dealing with the thorny issue of some skateboarders not wearing helmets, all because of a simple e-mail by a local youth.

 Vaughn Whynot recently contacted Cst. Christine Bonnell to voice his concern about a perceived police crackdown on theskate-boarders, suggested many of them can't afford helmets, and that perhaps the department should work with them to find a solution.

 "When I got the e-mail, I went out that morning and picked up one of the kids who was 18, and took him to Zellers. I bought three of them out of my own money. I just told him to show me what I needed to buy," said Cst. Bonnell.

 Since that day in June, the department has given out almost a dozen helmets, most donated by Wal-Mart.

 "I've had kids come up to me in the Superstore when I'm off duty and say, 'Are you the policewoman who has those helmets I've heard about?' I'll say 'yes' and tell them to come see me."

 Each person who receives a helmet then signs for it, so Cst. Bonnell said those people should now have no excuse for not using one.

 She said the department receives numerous public complaints about skateboarders not wearing helmets, which became a provincial law in 2003. The law carries a potential $25 fine and/or confiscation of a skateboard for up to 30 days. As well, parents may not knowingly allow their children to skateboard without helmets.

 "[The police are] the ones enforcing it, so I thought maybe they could meet us halfway," said Mr. Whynot, "because all the kids in Bridgewater who skateboard think the cops are against them, but they're just doing their jobs - so you can't get mad at them - but you can discuss it with them and come up with ideas."

Cst. Christine Bonnell of the Bridgewater Police Service and Vaughn Whynot are attempting to address community concerns about skateboarders not wearing helmets.

 The 20 year old is a member of a group which oversees the skateboard park via a subcommittee of the Bridgewater Development Association's youth action team.

 "I did a little research, and I think Bridgewater is the only town in Atlantic Canada where cops are willing to provide helmets to kids who can't afford them, or to actually give them out to kids who can't afford them before just taking the legal actions they do. The kids seem a little bit happier about it, because they feel they have a little more leeway to talk to the cop about why they don't want to wear the helmet, but then agree to wear the helmet."

 Still, he said there will probably remain an antagonistic relationship between the police and skateboarders over the issue.

 "I think it's great that they're willing to help out rather than just slapping cuffs or fines on people, but then you will have a group of a few people who won't like it ... helmets will always be a negative thing for skateboarders, because it's kind of like the man sticking it to us, and we're individuals."

 In fact, Mr. Whynot doesn't usually wear a helmet.

 "And a lot of my friends don't wear them, but they know what they're doing."

 He said it's different for younger kids, who he believes should wear helmets, especially when they first start skateboarding.

 Still, Cst. Bonnell has encouraged him to be a good role model for the younger skaters, and to always wear his helmet.

 "In every picture in a skateboard magazine, not anybody in any picture or ad has a helmet on," said Mr. Whynot.

 "The only people in a skateboard magazine you'll see with a helmet on are the half-pipe guys, because they're going like 25 feet in the air. The kids' role models are these people in the magazines ... that makes it hard when the cops say you should be a good role model."

Pro And Am Q&A: Sunday, September 16, 2007
 

Q&A With Greg Brewer
with Vaughn Whynot

 

 

 

Greg Brewer….where the hell have you been. Last time I saw you, you where throwing down kick melons on the 2way in Lunenburg at my comp... Well let’s do this Q&A so I can find out what you have been up too.

 

VW - State your name, Age, hometown, sponsors, if you’re pro or am?
 
GB - I'm Greg Brewer I'm 21 years old and my sponsors are Real Skateboards, Spitfire Wheels, Thunder Trucks, and Vans Shoes.


VW - So Mr. Brewer, how are your new sponsors treating you…and do you miss the east coast…are we east coast…I didn’t do well in geo? 

GB - ha-ha oh yes its East alright.  The sponsors are pretty kick-ass right now.  They've all been super nice.  I just got back from a trip to the states with Vans for an article in Concrete so I'm pretty hyped on that.


VW - Skateboard Set-up right now? 

GB - Deck- Real 8 and 1/4.  52 mm Spitfire Wheels. Reds Bearings, 147 Thunders Trucks.



VW - Your Part In “Homegrown Slightly lit Video”, which was your fav places to skate in your part and out of everyone else in that video…who did you get more pumped off of?

GB - That’s a tough one.  Montreal and Toronto are both awesome cities but I think Toronto was pretty fun.  I was super pumped off all the guys we were there with.  I'd never really met any of the boys until then so it was really fun to get to meet them for a trip like that.  Everyone was awesome on that trip for sure.

 

VW - Skate Video You Can’t wait to see? 

GB - The Fallen Video, Lakai if it ever comes out.  A new flip video would be rad too but I don't know if they're even doing one right now.


VW - What 1 trick your love doing these days and well hate even trying? 

GB - Hardflips.


VW - Non-Skateboard Sponsor You Wish You Had? 

GB - Alexander Keith’s or Wendy's.


VW - One thing to tell kids about skateboarding…and reason why you’re still doing it? 

GB - Just have fun doing it mainly.  It's the best way to mellow out and meet new people.  If you’re having a good time that’s all that matters and people will see that.


VW - This is one question I had to ask because it’s always on my mind…what are your views on this helmet law in Canada

GB - shi*tTY!!!  If I hit my head it's my own fault.  Someone could slip on ice or trip off a curb and hit there head but you don't need helmets to walk on an icy sidewalk.  I hope.


VW - One trick you wish you had on lock down? 

GB - Switch three flips.


VW - Craziest road trip/demo/skate sesh? 

GB - The Homegrown one was fun and the Vans one I just got back from.  But when a bunch of us from Fredericton and Moncton went to Calgary and ended up getting to skate in Slam City Jam.  That was pretty much the funniest thing ever!


VW - Am and Pro you’re pumped of? 

GB - Appleyard, Reynolds, Rowley.


VW - Last scrape you were in? 

GB - I try to stay out of trouble, but I almost went in the police patty wagon the other day for trying to throw a giant road barrier over a fence ha-ha.  As soon as I herd the brakes of the truck the officer had my face up against the side of the truck and my arm wrenched around my back ha-ha.  Luckily some randoms saved me and told the cop that a car had just ran into the barrier and they saw me fixing it.  He told them that they could fit in the truck too and better leave now.  So they walked away.  I ended up talking my way out of it because I had New Brunswick ID and I was “Just visiting for 3 days."  Then he was cool with it.  He actually said this stupid line that sounded like some sort of slogan ha-ha.  “You enjoy Vancouver.  You do not destroy it!"



VW - Song you’re real into these days. 

GB - I dunno I like to keep a good mix of everything.

VW - So G-brew when you coming down to Lunenburg way. We need some beer and you need to destroy the Lbc Park, while I am drunk and watch…hope to hear form you soon...and maybe see you skate. 

GB - Hopefully I'll be in New Brunswick around Christmas time.  Maybe next summer I'll make a trip again and get to check the new Halifax Park out and come down to Lunenburg and see all the boys.

Lata.  Peace!

Q and A with Bruce Treby

20 Questions with Bruce Treby
 

Questions Asked By Vaughn Whynot

Answers by Bruce Treby

Photos by Scott McClellan

 

State Your Name, Age & current Location you are at?

Bruce Treby, 21, and I live in Little Harbour, NS

 

How’s she going?

Things are going great! I’m healthy, back in school and skating as much as I can when the weather is good. It’s been raining for almost a month straight now.

 

So Bruce when you were a kid, what made you start skaten?

I started skating when I was in grade 7 cause I seen a few older guys doing it and it looked fun. I tried it once and was hooked!

 



Who did you look up to when growing up (pros, People)?

I mostly looked up to the local guys but for pros I really like Deawon Song and Jamie Thomas

 

So who are your sponsors these days…and how did this happen, where you a video-tape kid or did they find you?

I ride for Homegrown Skateboards and Ipath Footwear.  Homegrown just kinda found me and I got hooked up with Ipath after “The Burning Whale Project” was released.

 

It must have been fun filming parts for the Homegrown Video. Do you have an interesting story from the whole time filming?

Yeah, I had a great time filming. I’d say the most interesting story from the whole thing is that I was working 6 days a week and filming only after work and on Sundays. It made it interesting, especially when we had to drive a few hours to some spots. All in all it was a great time!

 




Hey Treby, do you mind me calling you Treby; do you have any hobbies besides skating?

Everyone calls me Treby, even my girlfriend does too! When I’m not skating I’m usually snowboarding or causing trouble for someone.

 

What are you views on the harassment skater get from, police, bikers/bladders and local mouths? Have you ever encountered arguments or fight because of being a skater?

I’m so sick of getting razzed and harassed by the police and other “authority figures”. I mean sure their doing a job but this whole helmet law thing has gone too far. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been kicked out of spots as soon as I roll up. I haven’t gotten in a fight but there have been some close calls.

 

Do you still believe skaten is about roots or is it something else these days?

I like to think skating is about roots but every little kid always asks who you’re sponsored by or if you’re pro or am and how could they get sponsored. I think a lot of kids are skating for the wrong reasons these days.

 

So anything coming up these days with you (mags, videos, new product) or you keeping low?

I’ve been keeping it pretty low key this year. It was a pretty rough one for injuries.

 

I saw that footy of your bail….your a real trooper for getting back into the scene, I also heard you where more worried for your tattoo then your body, what was you thinking?

That was a rough little patch for me but I’m good to go now. Yeah I didn’t realize how serious it was until after the surgery but your right. I was worried bout my tattoo. I went back to the rail and cut the kink off to keep it for a trophy and decided to try it again and slammed on my face. Lost a tooth and knocked myself clean out. I didn’t know who anyone was or what happened for a good 10 or 15 minutes. Needless to say I’m not going back…lol

 

Here are a few simple questions, Fav AM this year?

Ryan Decenzo                                                                       

 

Fav Pro?

Jereme Rogers, He’s so well rounded on everything.

 

Last Skate Video you watched?

DVS skate more

 




Last Mag you read or book?

I haven’t had time for anything but school work….

 

Biggest Fear?

Not scared anymore. I already lost a tooth skating…might get one for Christmas though!

 

Trick you’re stoked on? Trick your trying to get down?

Pretty much anything on a rail. And I’ve been trying to get tre flips…..

 

Saying over used?

Do you think Skate Style is Important, and is this g-unit and/or emo getting out of hand?

 

Thanks for your time…hope to see you kick'in around the area around here. Any last words or props for anyone? P.S. Did you see the Hali-Park, She’s looking sexy.

Thanks to Jesse at Homegrown, Shayne and Mike at S & J for the Ipath gear, Brad Macdonald, Travis Francis, Scott Maclellan and everyone else I’ve forgotten you know who you are.

Pro And Am Q&A: Tuesday, September 11, 2007

Q&A With Ted De Gros

With Vaughn Whynot 

1st of all Ted, I would like to thank you on doing this Q&A with me for the fact as I am a fan of yours since you was a am on santa Cruz...and now your pro...that’s crazy. I feel honoured in doing this because it will show that pros are normal guys just skating for the fact of...well skateboarding…I will also keep this quick and easy because you must be very busy these days. So let’s begin.

 

 

VW - How’s life mate, just for the record state your name and your sponsors, also your hometown?

 

TDG - Hey. My name is Ted de Gros. I’m sponsored by Santa Cruz, Lakai, Indy and momentum. Life’s good, I’ve been in Santa Cruz for the last few months. Enjoying the weather and trying to learn to surf.

 

 

VW - I been seeing a lot of you in mags these days… which one was you more stoked about?

 

TDG - My favourite interview in the last couple years was in Transworld. I think it was 06 sometime. I got lucky and managed to shoot all the tricks in a few days. I didn’t really plan any of the tricks so it was a bonus.

 

 

VW - Your Parts In “Get Tricks Or Die Tryin'” And “Yesterday’s Future”, which was your fav places to skate in your parts and out of everyone else in that video…who did you get more stoked off of?

 

TDG - I don’t think I had a part in digital. I may have had some tricks in it. I was definitely in yesterday’s future though. I’ve been to a lot of really good spots but they’re really scattered. Barcelona is one of my favourite places to skate because I’m always so stoked just to be there that skating is funnier. The spots are amazing too. Texas is good. Florida and North CarolinaL.A. is really good but the driving is ridiculous. Vancouver is fun for me. All the homies. As far as other peoples parts in Yesterday’s future, Dermer was fun to watch. He didn’t have a lot of time but he was always stoked to go film for it. Carl Labelle is rad to skate with too. He loves skating the same way.   Dickson’s part was awesome. Gianmarco was rad too. He’s awesome to watch skate live. He’s got a lot of heart and likes to charge at shi*t. 

 

 

VW - So now that you’re pro with Santa Cruz, what varies or differentiates from being an am?

 

TDG - Your pay is better and you get to see your name on a board. Other than everything feels the exact same. Your work and responsibilities are the same. Always gotta work for it.

 

 

VW - What is one trick that you are loving these days and which ones are you hating?

 

TDG - I’m loving mannys these days. I never took the time until the last couple years. I’ve always loved Rodney and Daewon but I thought I couldn’t do that stuff. It’s worth a try.   I hate three flips because my trucks are too tight.

 

 

VW - What’s your fav spot in Canada…and outside of Canada?

 

TDG - Everywhere in Canada is awesome but one of them is all the little islands that separate Vancouver from Vancouver Island. Saltspring, Galliano, Cortes. Number one place is Thormanby Island though. Only cause my family has had a cabin their for a few generations.

 

 

VW - What are your views on the helmet law in Canada?

 

TDG - What helmet law? Nobody out west has to wear helmets unless they just changed that.  In Santa Cruz you’re supposed to wear a helmet at the park. I bring mine and only put it on if the park ranger comes around. Works well.

 

 

VW - One trick you wish you had on lock down?

 

TDG - 1080 flips

 

 

VW - Craziest road trip?

 

TDG - The long ones across America with alien workshop were the craziest. Not in a good way though. Super stressful.  The best ones were the mad dashes. I don’t know who knows about or remembers those now. Geoff Dermer, Sean Sayles and maybe Kelly Bergman were the brains behind those.  I think Jon Engle might have helped with the later ones. It was a bunch of guys from Vancouver that would tour the western half of Canada and do demos for no apparent reason. They were the shi*t. There was little to no budget and we’d just go stay on shop-owner’s floors most if not all the time.   It wasn’t a corporate style trip. Just skating for the hell of it. The people who owned the shops were so rad. They were the best hosts. They’d have house parties for us and show us the best time we’d ever had.   Glenn Suggitt threw down when we stayed there. Best dude ever. I think it was guy at ruins in Prince George, he threw an awesome party. I can’t remember the lady’s name in red deer but she ruled.

 

 

VW - an Am and pro that gets you pumped?

 

TDG - Jack Lalane gets me pumped. Emeril too.

 

 

VW - Well thanks Ted for doing this for me and the skate scene of the world. Any last words and shout outs?

 

TDG - No problem. Thanks as well.

....FOR FREEDOM!!!

 

 “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act. –George Orwell

 

The year is 1913, Woodrow Wilson is president, and powerful banking interests, who have been trying for year, finally achieved their long term goal, of silently taking control of the American government.

     The first thing the did to accomplish their take over was convince secretary of state, Flan Denox, to lie to the American people, and tell them that the 16th amendment [Income Tax Amendment] had been legally ratified by the states when it was not. The bankers knew that this tax would ultimately end up in their pockets.

     Because of this fraud the American people were led to believe there was a tax on their labor. Congress and the President ARE completely aware of this fraud and it was cited in a recent court case:

 

“If you… examined [the 16th amendment] carefully, you would find that a sufficient number of states ratified that amendment.” -U.S. District Court Judge, James C. Fox, 2003

 

That very same year [1913] the bankers committed their second, and by far most diabolical fraud ever perpetrated on the American people, by bribing senators to pass the Federal Reserve Act, without the required Constitutional amendment. They did this during Christmas vacation, when many senators where home celebrating Christmas with their families.

     And that is how the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act came into being. They were very clever, and understood that who ever issued the money for America controlled the government.

 

“Give me control of a nations money supply, and I care not who makes its laws.” -Mayer Rothschild, Private Banker

 

President Wilson, who signed the Federal Reserve Act later said in regret:

“I’m a most unhappy man; I have unwittingly ruined my country a great industrial nation is now controlled by a system of credit. We are no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinions and duress of a small group of dominant men.” -Woodrow Wilson, 1919

 

How did America transform from being a truly free country with a servant government where our individual rights are protected by our Constitution, to being a country that talked about being free but really wasn’t?

     The change started when the Federal Reserve came into existence, and America adopted one of the major planks of the Communist Manifesto by creating for America this central bank.

     The very same people that back the Federal Reserve System also back the graduated income tax, a second plank from the Communist Manifesto.

     And now our Congress so dominated by the banks, is helping them entrap people even further by passing new Bankruptcy Laws making it more difficult for the people to declare bankruptcy and get a fresh start.

 

“Who controls money controls the world.” -Henry Kissinger, Council of Foreign Relations

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

*President Bush has signed executive orders give him sole authority to impose martial law and suspending Habeas Corpus. This gives him dictatorial power over the people without any checks or balances.

 

*The government can jail you for life without charges, without trial, and without a lawyer.

 

*Because of globalization the U.S. must accept other nations’ laws. Under the CAFTA treaty the sale of vitamins and supplements will be illegal.

 

*Executive Order# 10999: Allows the government to take over all modes of transportation.

 

*Executive Order# 11000: Allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.

 

* Executive Order# 11921: Provides that the president can declare a state of emergency that is not defined and Congress cannot review the action for six months.

 

*Senate Bill# 1873: Allows the government to vaccinate you with untested vaccines against your will.

 

*The FDA says: Americans do not have a right to know which foods are genetically modified.

 

*Congressman Sensenbrenner’s Bill (HR1528): Requires you to spy on you neighbors including wearing a wire. Refusal would be punishable by a mandatory prison sentence of at least two years.

 

*The government claims the power to seize all financial interments: gold, silver, and everything else if they deem an emergence exists. –treasury department letter, Aug. 12, 2005

 

*There are 190 countries in the world; American has bases in 130 them.

 

The Patriot Act permits:

*Secret FBI and police searches of your home and office.

*Secret government wiretaps on you phone, computer and/or internet activity.

*Secret investigations of your bank record, credit cards and other financial records.

*Secret investigations of your library and book activities.

*Secret examinations of your metical, travel and business records.

*The freezing of funds and assets without prior notice or appeal.

*The creation of secret watch lists that ban those named from air and other travel.

 

“The Constitution is just a goddamn piece of paper.” -George W. Bush, Nov. 2005, Capitol Hill Blue

 

During the 1990’s President Clinton monitored millions of private phone calls placed by U.S. citizens. He did this under a secret program code named: Echelon. The wide spread use of wire tapping Americans during the Clinton administration proves that this practice was not started because of 9/11 but is standard procedure.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The new legislation for the national ID card is in and takes three to for pages to describe. It will be connected to our driver’s licenses and Social security numbers. A physical ID such as finger prints or retinal print will be on it.

This law known as the Real ID Act takes effect in May 2008. Anyone with out a card will not be permitted to board an air plain, Amtrak train, open a bank account, or enter a federal building.

The bill mandates that all drivers’ licenses contain “common readable technology. A radio frequency identification (RFID) chip will be used.

 

 

“It is time to wake up America. Those ID cards are NOT about defeating terrorism, they are all about controlling the American people.” -Aaron Russo

 

The latest technology for identifying people when they make purchases is the implantable chip that can be directly imbedded into human flesh. Its tiny glass capsule is about the size if a grain if rice. It contains an RFID computer chip with a coiled antenna.

Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and others have expressed great interest in being able to more closely monitor the American people. And one way to do that would be to determine who buys what and where they take these things.

     Radio frequency can travel through walls, wood, the things we normally rely on to protect our privacy. For example your backpack, your pocket, anything you’re wearing or carrying.

     They were talking about having reader devices in every airport, on every bus, every train, on every port and every dock.

     One of the most worrisome applications of RFID is proposals to put in cash. Meaning that you’d be able to track every bank note, where it has been, who it has been issued to, and create an essence an audit trail that would essentially take away the anonymity of cash, that we enjoy today.

     The ATM machine itself, as the money came through the roller device, would be reading each number. And it would know who you are; of course you identify yourself at banks or ATMs. And the ATM would tag the number, and transfer the possession name from, say Bank of America to Joe Jones.

     Once every thing you do is tied down to a single number, and there is no longer the option to pay with cash, then all it takes to render you a non citizen is to simply turn you chip off. Then you won’t be able to participate in ant function in society, including buy food.  

     Through the implementation of the Federal Reserve System, the American citizen has gone from being a private individual who had real money, and gold in possession that was private, to a citizen who has no privacy because all money is now being digitized. They can deduct however amount of money they want out of your digits when ever they want, and they can trace you when ever they want. You’ll be at there mercy. God forbid we allow this to happen in America

    

“This is outrageous! I mean your talking about the government looking over your shoulder at absolutely everything you do, every purchase you make, every place you go, every company you interact with, would be recorded back to potentially the government.” -Katherine Albrecht, author of “Spy Chips”

 

Have we become so controlled and ignorant about our rights, that big institution and big governments can do whatever they want with us even with out our approval?

I know for certain that our founding fathers would resist to the death what is happening in America today. And I for one will not accept a national ID card. And if nobody accepts a national ID card, and nobody can board a plain without one, then let the airlines go bankrupt. And if you can’t open an account in a big national bank, then open one in a small local bank. And if we can’t walk into a federal building, I’d personally consider that a blessing.

Don’t allow these institutions to dictate to us how we conduct our lives. This is America, and we have free choice! We the people have the power not the government. The government gets its power from us, not the other way around.

Think of all the men and women that died in all our wars fighting for freedom, not Federal Reserve bankers. Do you think they sacrificed their lives so America could get chipped like a dog, so we can all have homing devices inside us? NO! This ID card is the last step before they implant us, and that is precisely the reason no one should accept one.

And you know what they’re going to do? They’re going to call in the propaganda machine, the media, and try to sell this RFID chip as if it was in everybody’s best interest.

 

“We shall have a world government whether or not we like it. The only question is whether the world government will be achieved by conquest or consent.” -Paul Warburg, architect of the Federal Reserve System, 1950

 

The central bankers of the world are working together to create a one world government. A global police sinister was the only thing George Orwell ever wrote about. Where every person on the planet Earth will have an RFID chip implant, where the bankers and the governments have access to every transaction you make.

A chip in every in everybody would be the universal monitory system, because there would be no escape from it.

Most people don’t have a clue that these unelected private bankers, actually control the governments of the world. They have actually financed and profited from ever war since World War I, without concern for humanity. The war in Iraq is an attempt by the Federal Reserve and their partner the Bank of England to control the middle east, and make it part of the new world order.

 

“Military men are just dumb stupid animals, to be used as pawn in foreign policies.” -Henry Kissinger

 

     The war on terrorism is the war on your freedom.

 

“The bankers own take it away from them but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough money to buy it back again. However, take away the power to create money, and all great fortunes like mine will disappear and ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in.

But if you wish to remain slaves of the bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money.” - Sir Josiah Stamp, former director of the Bank of England

 

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years.

     It would have been impossible for us to develop our plans for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But now the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march toward a world government. The supra national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto determination, practiced in past centuries.” 

-David Rockefeller, private banker, council on foreign relations, June 1991

 

“The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes.” -Felix Frankfuter, U.S. Supreme Court Justice

 

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” -Henry Ford

 

     Now that you do understand what happened in 1913, and how it is leading to world government, the future depends on you. Will you choose freedom or slavery? Stop living in fear of your government. Government is the servant. We are the masters.

So what are you going to do about it? Join together in civil disobedience. Be willing to take part in nationwide strikes, boycotts, and marches on Washington. Force Congress to use their power to shut down the Federal Reserve. Government has authority to issue money, without paying interest to the bankers. This will take away the power to control our government from the bankers. Only vote for candidates who have signed an affidavit to shut down the Federal Reserve System and stop world government.

If you are in the military or law enforcement, remember you swore an oath to defend the American Constitution. You didn’t swear an oath to promote world government. Honor your Oath.

DONOT accept the national ID card, even if it’s your drivers’ license. We must demand that the American peoples gold be audited, and make certain that it has not been stolen. This asset must be returned to the American people.

Abolish computer voting in the state where you live. Stop being a good Democrat, stop being a good Republican, start being good Americans.

And when the media starts telling you that the country will fall apart if this is done, don’t be fooled. This is just the Federal Reserve trying to save itself. Squash it!

 

“I like the old idea, where you could do what you thought you could do and what you wanted to do as long as you didn’t hurt anyone.”

 -Ron Paul

 

If you believe in civil disobedience and wish to organize with millions of Americans in this battle for liberty, please sign up at freedomtofascism.com, and if you choose not to help, report to Central Services immediately and we will have you fitted for an RFID chip… for you own safety, of course.

 

”We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
-Benjamin Franklin, at the signing of the Declaration of
Independence, July 4, 1776

 Uninted we stand, Divided we fall.

News,Events,Contest & Video Premieres: Letter By matt Higney Of Bridgewater, Nova Scotia
By: NovaScotiaSkaters


Hello,

 

  About one week ago today, me and a couple buddies drove to the Bridgewater skate park. A little history needs to be said first. Many generations of skaters have tried and tried to get a park for Bridgewater, and over many years and meetings we finally accomplished a temporary park in a "carnival" parking lot. And if it wasn’t bad enough that we have to use this unlevelled bumpy, rough slab of asphalt a brand new cop station popped up about a year after the park got put there. and being a temporary you think it would be a prime deascion to get it out of there, but no we are stuck with this park being unused for what another two years. Tsk tsk

 

  So to the happenings of last week which ironically was on Canada’s thanksgiving, we got out of the car bushy tailed and googly eyed and we did what came natural, we skated. but the festivities didn’t last too long within 3 minuets 2 cops walked over on foot and a SUV cop cruiser pulled out with its destination set for the park, which is funny seeing that there 10 realistic steps away from the park with only a road dividing the two. And this is where you’re thinking "RUNNNNNNNN" but being in the "situation" (ha) that we were in it wasn’t going to happen. Plus we got a car so it wouldn’t have worked.

 

  Well 1/3 cops was half decent to us the other two which were men were out-of-line to put it nicely. We forked over our prized possessions with hesitation (skates). But no it wasn’t it over it seems everyone 16 and older gets a fine of 135 and a court date. Well ill be going to court mid November for doing something I love. Ill walk in with a smile on my face and a heltmet-less angel’s shirt under my over.

 

Oh and why this all happened is because of the helmet law.

And when you grow up not wearing a helmet. And then they

See one kid get hurt at a park "not even seriously" or

They get some fake world statistics, they try

Too slap helmets on us. Mind you this law is only

Effective in Nova Scotia.

 

That’s why skateboarding is a crime,

And why i'm a convict.

Q&A With Greg Brewer
with Vaughn Whynot

 

 

 

Greg Brewer….where the hell have you been. Last time I saw you, you where throwing down kick melons on the 2way in Lunenburg at my comp... Well let’s do this Q&A so I can find out what you have been up too.

 

VW - State your name, Age, hometown, sponsors, if you’re pro or am?
 
GB - I'm Greg Brewer I'm 21 years old and my sponsors are Real Skateboards, Spitfire Wheels, Thunder Trucks, and Vans Shoes.


VW - So Mr. Brewer, how are your new sponsors treating you…and do you miss the east coast…are we east coast…I didn’t do well in geo? 

GB - ha-ha oh yes its East alright.  The sponsors are pretty kick-ass right now.  They've all been super nice.  I just got back from a trip to the states with Vans for an article in Concrete so I'm pretty hyped on that.


VW - Skateboard Set-up right now? 

GB - Deck- Real 8 and 1/4.  52 mm Spitfire Wheels. Reds Bearings, 147 Thunders Trucks.



VW - Your Part In “Homegrown Slightly lit Video”, which was your fav places to skate in your part and out of everyone else in that video…who did you get more pumped off of?

GB - That’s a tough one.  Montreal and Toronto are both awesome cities but I think Toronto was pretty fun.  I was super pumped off all the guys we were there with.  I'd never really met any of the boys until then so it was really fun to get to meet them for a trip like that.  Everyone was awesome on that trip for sure.

 

VW - Skate Video You Can’t wait to see? 

GB - The Fallen Video, Lakai if it ever comes out.  A new flip video would be rad too but I don't know if they're even doing one right now.


VW - What 1 trick your love doing these days and well hate even trying? 

GB - Hardflips.


VW - Non-Skateboard Sponsor You Wish You Had? 

GB - Alexander Keith’s or Wendy's.


VW - One thing to tell kids about skateboarding…and reason why you’re still doing it? 

GB - Just have fun doing it mainly.  It's the best way to mellow out and meet new people.  If you’re having a good time that’s all that matters and people will see that.


VW - This is one question I had to ask because it’s always on my mind…what are your views on this helmet law in Canada

GB - shi*tTY!!!  If I hit my head it's my own fault.  Someone could slip on ice or trip off a curb and hit there head but you don't need helmets to walk on an icy sidewalk.  I hope.


VW - One trick you wish you had on lock down? 

GB - Switch three flips.


VW - Craziest road trip/demo/skate sesh? 

GB - The Homegrown one was fun and the Vans one I just got back from.  But when a bunch of us from Fredericton and Moncton went to Calgary and ended up getting to skate in Slam City Jam.  That was pretty much the funniest thing ever!


VW - Am and Pro you’re pumped of? 

GB - Appleyard, Reynolds, Rowley.


VW - Last scrape you were in? 

GB - I try to stay out of trouble, but I almost went in the police patty wagon the other day for trying to throw a giant road barrier over a fence ha-ha.  As soon as I herd the brakes of the truck the officer had my face up against the side of the truck and my arm wrenched around my back ha-ha.  Luckily some randoms saved me and told the cop that a car had just ran into the barrier and they saw me fixing it.  He told them that they could fit in the truck too and better leave now.  So they walked away.  I ended up talking my way out of it because I had New Brunswick ID and I was “Just visiting for 3 days."  Then he was cool with it.  He actually said this stupid line that sounded like some sort of slogan ha-ha.  “You enjoy Vancouver.  You do not destroy it!"



VW - Song you’re real into these days. 

GB - I dunno I like to keep a good mix of everything.

VW - So G-brew when you coming down to Lunenburg way. We need some beer and you need to destroy the Lbc Park, while I am drunk and watch…hope to hear form you soon...and maybe see you skate. 

GB - Hopefully I'll be in New Brunswick around Christmas time.  Maybe next summer I'll make a trip again and get to check the new Halifax Park out and come down to Lunenburg and see all the boys.

Lata.  Peace!

Q&A With Ted De Gros

With Vaughn Whynot 

1st of all Ted, I would like to thank you on doing this Q&A with me for the fact as I am a fan of yours since you was a am on santa Cruz...and now your pro...that’s crazy. I feel honoured in doing this because it will show that pros are normal guys just skating for the fact of...well skateboarding…I will also keep this quick and easy because you must be very busy these days. So let’s begin.

 

 

VW - How’s life mate, just for the record state your name and your sponsors, also your hometown?

 

TDG - Hey. My name is Ted de Gros. I’m sponsored by Santa Cruz, Lakai, Indy and momentum. Life’s good, I’ve been in Santa Cruz for the last few months. Enjoying the weather and trying to learn to surf.

 

 

VW - I been seeing a lot of you in mags these days… which one was you more stoked about?

 

TDG - My favourite interview in the last couple years was in Transworld. I think it was 06 sometime. I got lucky and managed to shoot all the tricks in a few days. I didn’t really plan any of the tricks so it was a bonus.

 

 

VW - Your Parts In “Get Tricks Or Die Tryin'” And “Yesterday’s Future”, which was your fav places to skate in your parts and out of everyone else in that video…who did you get more stoked off of?

 

TDG - I don’t think I had a part in digital. I may have had some tricks in it. I was definitely in yesterday’s future though. I’ve been to a lot of really good spots but they’re really scattered. Barcelona is one of my favourite places to skate because I’m always so stoked just to be there that skating is funnier. The spots are amazing too. Texas is good. Florida and North CarolinaL.A. is really good but the driving is ridiculous. Vancouver is fun for me. All the homies. As far as other peoples parts in Yesterday’s future, Dermer was fun to watch. He didn’t have a lot of time but he was always stoked to go film for it. Carl Labelle is rad to skate with too. He loves skating the same way.   Dickson’s part was awesome. Gianmarco was rad too. He’s awesome to watch skate live. He’s got a lot of heart and likes to charge at shi*t. 

 

 

VW - So now that you’re pro with Santa Cruz, what varies or differentiates from being an am?

 

TDG - Your pay is better and you get to see your name on a board. Other than everything feels the exact same. Your work and responsibilities are the same. Always gotta work for it.

 

 

VW - What is one trick that you are loving these days and which ones are you hating?

 

TDG - I’m loving mannys these days. I never took the time until the last couple years. I’ve always loved Rodney and Daewon but I thought I couldn’t do that stuff. It’s worth a try.   I hate three flips because my trucks are too tight.

 

 

VW - What’s your fav spot in Canada…and outside of Canada?

 

TDG - Everywhere in Canada is awesome but one of them is all the little islands that separate Vancouver from Vancouver Island. Saltspring, Galliano, Cortes. Number one place is Thormanby Island though. Only cause my family has had a cabin their for a few generations.

 

 

VW - What are your views on the helmet law in Canada?

 

TDG - What helmet law? Nobody out west has to wear helmets unless they just changed that.  In Santa Cruz you’re supposed to wear a helmet at the park. I bring mine and only put it on if the park ranger comes around. Works well.

 

 

VW - One trick you wish you had on lock down?

 

TDG - 1080 flips

 

 

VW - Craziest road trip?

 

TDG - The long ones across America with alien workshop were the craziest. Not in a good way though. Super stressful.  The best ones were the mad dashes. I don’t know who knows about or remembers those now. Geoff Dermer, Sean Sayles and maybe Kelly Bergman were the brains behind those.  I think Jon Engle might have helped with the later ones. It was a bunch of guys from Vancouver that would tour the western half of Canada and do demos for no apparent reason. They were the shi*t. There was little to no budget and we’d just go stay on shop-owner’s floors most if not all the time.   It wasn’t a corporate style trip. Just skating for the hell of it. The people who owned the shops were so rad. They were the best hosts. They’d have house parties for us and show us the best time we’d ever had.   Glenn Suggitt threw down when we stayed there. Best dude ever. I think it was guy at ruins in Prince George, he threw an awesome party. I can’t remember the lady’s name in red deer but she ruled.

 

 

VW - an Am and pro that gets you pumped?

 

TDG - Jack Lalane gets me pumped. Emeril too.

 

 

VW - Well thanks Ted for doing this for me and the skate scene of the world. Any last words and shout outs?

 

TDG - No problem. Thanks as well.

Q and A with Bruce Treby

20 Questions with Bruce Treby
 

Questions Asked By Vaughn Whynot

Answers by Bruce Treby

Photos by Scott McClellan

 

State Your Name, Age & current Location you are at?

Bruce Treby, 21, and I live in Little Harbour, NS

 

How’s she going?

Things are going great! I’m healthy, back in school and skating as much as I can when the weather is good. It’s been raining for almost a month straight now.

 

So Bruce when you were a kid, what made you start skaten?

I started skating when I was in grade 7 cause I seen a few older guys doing it and it looked fun. I tried it once and was hooked!

 



Who did you look up to when growing up (pros, People)?

I mostly looked up to the local guys but for pros I really like Deawon Song and Jamie Thomas

 

So who are your sponsors these days…and how did this happen, where you a video-tape kid or did they find you?

I ride for Homegrown Skateboards and Ipath Footwear.  Homegrown just kinda found me and I got hooked up with Ipath after “The Burning Whale Project” was released.

 

It must have been fun filming parts for the Homegrown Video. Do you have an interesting story from the whole time filming?

Yeah, I had a great time filming. I’d say the most interesting story from the whole thing is that I was working 6 days a week and filming only after work and on Sundays. It made it interesting, especially when we had to drive a few hours to some spots. All in all it was a great time!

 




Hey Treby, do you mind me calling you Treby; do you have any hobbies besides skating?

Everyone calls me Treby, even my girlfriend does too! When I’m not skating I’m usually snowboarding or causing trouble for someone.

 

What are you views on the harassment skater get from, police, bikers/bladders and local mouths? Have you ever encountered arguments or fight because of being a skater?

I’m so sick of getting razzed and harassed by the police and other “authority figures”. I mean sure their doing a job but this whole helmet law thing has gone too far. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been kicked out of spots as soon as I roll up. I haven’t gotten in a fight but there have been some close calls.

 

Do you still believe skaten is about roots or is it something else these days?

I like to think skating is about roots but every little kid always asks who you’re sponsored by or if you’re pro or am and how could they get sponsored. I think a lot of kids are skating for the wrong reasons these days.

 

So anything coming up these days with you (mags, videos, new product) or you keeping low?

I’ve been keeping it pretty low key this year. It was a pretty rough one for injuries.

 

I saw that footy of your bail….your a real trooper for getting back into the scene, I also heard you where more worried for your tattoo then your body, what was you thinking?

That was a rough little patch for me but I’m good to go now. Yeah I didn’t realize how serious it was until after the surgery but your right. I was worried bout my tattoo. I went back to the rail and cut the kink off to keep it for a trophy and decided to try it again and slammed on my face. Lost a tooth and knocked myself clean out. I didn’t know who anyone was or what happened for a good 10 or 15 minutes. Needless to say I’m not going back…lol

 

Here are a few simple questions, Fav AM this year?

Ryan Decenzo                                                                       

 

Fav Pro?

Jereme Rogers, He’s so well rounded on everything.

 

Last Skate Video you watched?

DVS skate more

 




Last Mag you read or book?

I haven’t had time for anything but school work….

 

Biggest Fear?

Not scared anymore. I already lost a tooth skating…might get one for Christmas though!

 

Trick you’re stoked on? Trick your trying to get down?

Pretty much anything on a rail. And I’ve been trying to get tre flips…..

 

Saying over used?

Do you think Skate Style is Important, and is this g-unit and/or emo getting out of hand?

 

Thanks for your time…hope to see you kick'in around the area around here. Any last words or props for anyone? P.S. Did you see the Hali-Park, She’s looking sexy.

Thanks to Jesse at Homegrown, Shayne and Mike at S & J for the Ipath gear, Brad Macdonald, Travis Francis, Scott Maclellan and everyone else I’ve forgotten you know who you are.
