Kevin Yee Interview by Michael Garlinghouse:

San Francisco has some of the best, most interesting street spots in the US, how do you go about finding new spots and challenges in San Francisco?

Most of the spots I find are around my place, on my way to work, or around my work. My eyes are always keying in on my environment for skating possibilities, and my mind is constantly assessing whether or not what I’m seeing could be skated in an interesting and challenging way.
Since I am filming a lot these days I also think about how beautiful and captivating the image will be. Once something stands out to me I start to skate it in my mind in various ways. I keep at it until I find a trick or a line that feels complete or I decide that the obstacle really isn’t worth it. If I find something good then I am quick to type it into my phone and take a picture of it. After that I will naturally gravitate towards the spot again and again. Sometimes I will decide against my first trick impression and think of something even more interesting. And again, I might just eventually write the spot off.
The other day for example, I went back to a park by my work that I have been studying for months. I really love this park, it’s called ‘Yerba Buena’. When it’s warm out I like to stretch and eat lunch there. Anyways, I had three tricks picked out in a single area that I wanted to do individually for photos. Just last week I went there again and the AHA! feeling hit me… I realized that I could connect all three tricks into an epic line. Of course, when the urethane hits the pavement I often find that there are variables like my own mental-bodily states (fear, frustration, lack of focus, dealing with injuries, soreness, tightness etc.) and the actual physical difficulty of the trick that I have to overcome. I am getting better at alleviating these variables through diet, stretching and working out, but I have a long way to go.
It’s an amazing feeling for me to land a trick just like how I imagined it. It’s usually harder than I imagine it and I think that is because in mind skating I work with my ideal body, not taking into account a long week at work, an unhealthy meal, an unclear mind, etc… Whether I lace the trick or not, after the real skating is done I always go back to the mind skating with a clearer idea of what my body is capable of. It’s hard to talk about this practice without creating a dualism between ‘mind’ skating and ‘real’ skating… but my feeling is that in ‘reality’ the two are completely intertwined…

(I wrote an article on the topic of mindskating, check it out at http://stabyourselfintheface.com/?p=1069)

You have lived in SF for a while and the city has been skated and filmed in for a decade, is there much potential in the city still?

I find new things to skate almost everyday… So YES there is still really no limit on blading potential in SF. Come out here and find out for yourself! I actually just moved to Oakland and even there I have been walking through the neighborhoods with my homie Matt Murphy and finding blocks full of amazing trick possibilities. At the same time, we don’t have a lot of session spots. When you’re on someones front porch about to lace their down ledge there’s no time for goofing around. You have to handle shit fast and be out. To really enjoy street skating in SF you have to also have an eye for unique spots, if all you want to skate is a perfect down rail then this isn’t the city for you. If you want to see what I am talking about then buy a copy of ‘RIP SF’!

When did you first meet Sean and how did your relationship with him grow to what it is today?

I met Sean through Pat Lennen a few years ago. When I met him I had just seen ‘The Apple that Fell over the Lake” and was eager to probe him about what I considered to be the philosophical content of the video. As I remember it, this essentially amounted to a misunderstanding between us, but he did want footage of me for his next video. I gave him some throwaway clips since I had committed to filming for Pat’s video. Pat got busy with work and I quit my job. So I ended up having lots of time to blade. Sean was down to pick me up everyday. He was hurt for a lot of the time we were filming so he would just introduce me to sick SF spots and I would do my thing as he filmed and made suggestions. I went into the filming of the video feeling pretty non-committal, almost two years later, by the end of the filming and editing of the video I was the producer. Near the end of the filming for the video Sean came out with Inri Cloth and asked me to be part of it. 2010 is going to be a big year for Inri, one of the things to look out for is a full length video!

What is your craziest Sean Sea story?

I don’t know about ‘craziest’ but this one is pretty good: Sean and I were in the middle of filming for RIP SF and my hair had gotten really long. It was starting to bug me while I was skating so I went and got it chopped off. I show up at Sean’s pad to skate and he goes, “Ohhhhhhh….dog what did you do to your hair!!!” I’m like, “I just got it cut… I think it looks pretty good.” Then he’s like, “Dog, you just set the movie back months, how are we supposed to make it look like this is all one day when your hair is suddenly short?”… Then I’m like, “Well maybe I could get a haircut in the middle of the day?” Sean gives me a look like I’m the biggest idiot in the entire world, I agree… that was a pretty bad idea. So we get in Sean’s van, and I ask him where we are going. He says we are going to wig shop, and I’m like, “Sean… there is no way I am wearing a wig, thats crazy!” no response… We pull up to the shop, (of course he knows exactly where the wig shop is!) he parks illegally, runs in and I wait like 5 minutes and he comes out without a wig, doesn’t say anything about it and then we go skating.

Give me 3 reasons why someone should give Xsjado skates a try.

Xsjados are the most comfortable and responsive blades. That’s 2, number 3 is if you don’t like them then you at least come away from the deal with some shoes.

Where/what do you draw your motivation/inspiration for skating from?

One of the sources of my motivation is the fact I know that this is my time to focus on rollerblading. There are other things in life that (I think) I could love just as much as rollerblading, writing for example. But most of those other interests don’t demand a young body, so I plan to explore those interests later in life. For better or worse, I am the kind of person who can only focus on one thing at a time. In terms of inspiration, I have always loved the way that martial artists move—stylized, quick and in unexpected ways. I take those images and try to approximate them with my skating—running on walls for example… I also had an obsession with x-men comic books when I was younger. I thought it was the coolest thing how each x-man had his or her own special and unique power. I think that had a big impact on me! And maybe that is related to how I try to focus on my unique talents and push them further and further. The street terrain I come across inspires me too. The more beautiful, unique, and challenging the spot is the more stoked I am to find a way to skate it. I get really excited to skate hard when I am traveling, the whole mind-skating à real skating dialogue gets more or less dropped and I lace tricks impulsively because I know that I won’t get to go back anytime soon. Finally, (I’ll stop now since I could go on forever on this topic) like everyone else, I get juiced when I am skating with my close friends.

While going to school at Berkeley, you stopped skating for a while. Why did you take that intermission from skating? What sparked your love for skating again?

In hindsight I see that I took that intermission from skating because I needed to develop an identity outside of being a rollerblader. Rollerblading was really all that I concerned myself with until I was about 20, the only thing I thought had any value. I was angry at the world around me and rollerblading was my only solace. So when I was about 20, at a time when all the members of my crew (SNF) were going in different directions for the first time, I looked in the mirror and realized that I didn’t know who I was. I became consumed by this question of self. I figured rollerblading was a step along the way to some grand self-realization, but that I had to move on from it to keep progressing as a person. So I switched my focus from rollerblading to studying philosophy, religion, and literature. I poured my heart into my studies in the same way that I had poured my heart into skating. I ended up at UC Berkeley studying philosophy, which is a fate that I don’t think anyone could have foreseen. I definitely never considered myself to be particularly intelligent in high school. I started skating again during my last year at Berkeley, but only at skateparks as a kind of medicine to escape depression and the pressure I was putting on myself to excel in my classes. After I graduated I met Pat Lennen through my old friend Nick Whitmore and he asked me if I wanted to start filming a section. I was honored but I hadn’t been filming/skating street hard for years so I wasn’t sure if I could pull it off. After my first street session with Pat and Rory Melehan (who happened to be in town) I was waiting for the train to come and it hit me like a bolt of lightning that I was going to pour my life back into skating and work tirelessly towards perfecting this art. I don’t know how to further explain life transforming moments like these! —All I know is this: here I am 3 years later.


Bump to Topsoul shot by Travers.

How does your full time job effect your skating?

Anyone who works a full time job and is still focused on progressing their blading knows that the balance is fucking tough. There’s no getting around that. Most of our co-workers are thinking about how they really should get to the gym soon… We are working the same 8 hours as they are and then overcoming the drained feeling to rip the fuck out of a skatepark like a 16 year old who ditched class, played video games, took a nap, smoked a spliff and went out for a sesh. On the flip side, it’s nice to have enough money to buy plane tickets every so often!

How did you and Tommy Boy decide to begin the SHOCK website?

Tommyboy called me up one day and told me that he was starting a website and he wanted me to be the ‘SF Correspondent’. Tom has been writing articles for various blading magazines for years. He felt like it was time to start putting that work into his own concept. I was interested in bringing my passion for writing and rollerblading together and seeing where it went. So I took him up on the offer as long as I had the freedom to be myself on the website (i.e. SHOCK would not only promote prostitution, illegal drugs and blacking out, but also, philosophy, abstract thought about blading, and meaningful interviews). A couple months later, before the site had dropped, Tommyboy and I went to New York City for a week long blading trip. Tommyboy and I are both rather intense personalities in our own ways. We got to know each other a lot better on the trip and we simultaneously were having long discussions about what we wanted to do with SHOCK. Out of these discussions the seeds were planted for what SHOCK was to become and I went from ‘correspondent’ to equal partner. That seems to be a pattern in my life…

What is the purpose of SHOCK?

I think Tommyboy is the best one to answer this: via phone he says, “Right now in rollerblading people are accepting of everything even if its fucking garbage. The purpose of SHOCK is to segregate the sickest elements of Blading culture from all the watered down bullshit that we see on the internet… and a big fuck you to everyone who is not down with us.”

You are working on making a SHOCK video, how is that coming along and what can be expected of it?

The SHOCK video is coming along very well, steady ripping.

Exclusive Interview Feature: The inspiring Chris Van der Merwe, South African Xsjado ambassador.

OB: Hi Chris, please tell us a bit about yourself!
Hey Oli, thanks for doing this interview with me. My name is Chris van der Merwe a very common South African surname, haha. My first language is Afrikaans. I live in a really beautiful town called Stellenbosch close to the South West coast line. I’m 26, I rollerblade, build ramps, film, edit, skimboard, play guitar, live all out for Jesus.


Fish Roll Mute

OB: How long have you been skating and how has your skating evolved over the years?
Been skating for 15 years. I skateboarded for two years in-between the rolling just because of a lack of spots in the small country side town I grew up in. I also played lots of other sports growing up that also kept me from skating lots. I started out when rollerblading was the new thing on the block. After seeing what can be done on skates I just stuck to it and never looked back. I started taking my rollerblading serious when I quit playing rugby at the age of 21. I mean, there wasn’t a skate park even close to the town I grew up in and no proper spots, so I grew up on little rails and boxes we built ourselves. After high school I started winning street comps and best trick comps at skate parks. Only after high school my park skating progressed lots and I started winning park comps also. I’ve qualified pro at AIL in 2008 and competed in Asian X Games the past two years. I skate for Conference – on the Xsjado Ambassador team. Locally I skate for Son Skate and Roll One.

OB: What is the scene like where you live?
There is only one other rollerblader in my town who’s been skating for long. He is sick to session with, Eric Palmer. He is also an amazing photographer so he is always amped to go shoot some pics. Cape Town is just half an hour away from us and there are lots of great skaters and they come skate my park lots. There are some beginner dudes also popping up and that is cool for the future of the sport over here. We are just lacking some up and coming skaters.

OB: You also work within the scene, if I am not mistaken? What do you do exactly?
Yeah man, it’s always been my dream to work in the skating industry. I grew up building rails and boxes in my town and designing ramps. In my last year of studies, crazy as it may sound, I got to know God and He told me to build a skate park at the church I started going to. I couldn’t really see how it could become a job for me, but to make the story short, the church gave me an indoor space after getting half a mini ramp for free out of no -where. I just started building from there getting sponsored wood and stuff (Mark from integrated helped us a lot). Now it is a full on indoor park with a skate shop in the back. Kids skate for dirt cheap, I don’t have to pay rent, I run the shop, run skate comps and events, make skate movies, build ramps, design parks, organise skate trips, skate as much as I can…..employed by my church, pretty sick. It is a skate ministry I run called Son Skate. The skatepark is a community centre and the people who are part of Son Skate are rollerbladers, skateboarders and bmxers riding for Christ – meaning through a positive and sober lifestyle serve and love others at the sessions and comps.

Hop-roll-safety 180

OB: Tell us about the crew you skate with.
I skate with any person on wheels that comes to my park, haha. But yeah I skate with skateboarders a lot. On the Son Skate road trips that we do, many times I’m the only roller. The rollerbladers who have always been skating hard are still around.

OB: What are the spots like in South Africa?
In the area I live in there is quite a bit to skate. Only thing is it is not the biggest variety and the town is not that big so you do get bored with the spots sometimes. The surrounding areas are pretty big and you can always go look for some new spots. I would say that we are lacking downrails with proper run up and landings. We also don’t have big skate parks close to my town. My park is like the biggest in the area. It’s not that big but pretty sick for rollerbladers.


Fishy

OB: Do you get in trouble with the law when you skate street?
Yeah, lots of the local spots are on campus and security normally bust the sessions. I never really picked up any trouble with cops until this year, 2010 – Soccer World Cup in South Africa. Earl and I got arrested and charged with malicious damage to property for skating a curb outside one of the newly built soccer stadiums. The crime rate in South Africa is so high but skaters get arrested. The court immediately just threw the case out, haha.

OB: How has the scene evolved over the years?
The scene was much bigger when we still had the South African Roces Team around in the late 90’s. Most of the guys that were skating then are still skating. Everyone’s just older now, working and don’t have or make that much time to skate anymore. Clifford Viljoen is the only South African that has ever been on a pro team. He was pro for Roces. He stopped skating in 2003 I think. The USD team used to do tours through South Africa. That also stopped after 2003. Neil van der Walt use to be on the Deshi flow team and Lloyd Goss on the USD flow till 2005 I think. I’m now the first roller to get onto a team again.

450 Back Royale

OB: Would there be a good reason to take an international tour to South Africa?
For sure!! South Africa will amaze you in many ways. It is a very beautiful country, sits on the tip of Africa with awesome mountains, beaches and weather. Diverse cultures and super friendly people. There are some sick parks to skate, cool street spots and amped rollerbladers to hang out with and give you free accommodation and transport and maybe, just maybe free food. So come on, do it!!!


True Topsoul Up.

OB: What is your current setup and how do you feel about it?
My first pair of skates I got from The Conference were the Damian Wilson Xsjado’s. It’s really a good and comfortable skate. I like to feel good in my skates meaning I like to, when I look down and see my skates, feel good about it. When I like the way I feel in my skates, I skate better. I also like to have a unique setup. Recently I got the Farmer footwraps to go with my Wilson skates. I got the Kizer Richie Eisler (my friend from Asian X Games) slimline purple frames and roll Undercover wheels. I really like the look and feel of this setup.

OB: Anything else you would like to add?
Just want to say thanks to Conference and Xsjado for the interview and for supporting me all the way here in Africa…..and for making quality products. Thanks to my family for supporting me, believing in me, and praying for me – love you lots. Thanks to my friends, my church and most of all, my saviour – who brought me from a lifestyle that was slowly spiralling downhill to a life where I can appreciate earth but can’t wait for heaven – JC the God-man, Jesus the Christ.

The Conference catches up with USD and Kizer’s Albert Hooi.

After seeing Albert Hooi’s Carbon setup causing raised eyebrows, we decided it was the perfect time for a little interview to see how he was getting on. Albert has been at the top of the European and international skate scene for many, many years now, and shows no signs of slowing down. We would like to thank him for his commitment and loyalty to USD, and for being a beacon for European rolling.

Action pics by Donal Glackin, setups by Albert Hooi.

1. Albert How old are you now, and how long have you been skating USD’s?

I just turned 26 today man, (21st Jan). I’ve been skating USD’s for such a long time now man, it’s hard to remember, maybe 7 years? All I can remember is that the first pair I bought were the original Julio Classic Thrones, black boot with 50/50′s Juice system, and grey 50/50 frames, basically the best skate ever. I ordered them from Skatepile because the ones in Europe didn’t come with the Juice blocks, speaking of which, I really can’t understand why they stopped making the Juice System, it was so fuckin’ good!

2. We recently saw a Carbon setup of yours, do you want to clarify your experience? How do you find them, are you using them in conjunction with your pro-skate, or instead of them?

I love them, especially the new ones because they fit much better and are much more comfortable. I had bad experiences with the first Deshi ones, when I tried Dom’s for the first time in America I fell and hit my head and got a mini hemorrhage from it. Then I ordered some for myself but there was only size 9′s left so they were a size too big and didn’t feel right.

The reason I got the new ones was because I have been skating UFS Thrones for feckin years now and just wanted a change. New skates give you new options with tricks and stuff and when you’ve been blading on the same boot for so long it gets a bit stale.

Don’t get me wrong though, I think the UFS Thrones are one of the most solid skate’s on the market, especially now that they come with the new faster and slimmer dual souls. I love my new pro skate and feel like it’s perfect to skate straight from the box which is something I didn’t have with previous ones. I have also wanted a green pro skate for ages now so it is very satisfying to finally have it.

I’m gonna skate my pro skate for the moment though because I’m super juiced about it, I was just very interested to see how the new improved Carbon’s skated.

Albert’s Pro Throne setup

3. How do you feel when seing people use your skate, especially people you don’t know?

It’s a very satisfying feeling seeing people skate a skate that you put lots of effort and time into designing. It’s a little bit surreal at times but I think it’s even more of a compliment to see your friends or people you know and have met skating them.

4. What are you working on for 2010?

My main focus for the start of this year is college, I’m in my third and final year doing photography and I really want to do well. Then when I finish in may there is talk about doing a massive tour with BHC. I will also be working on my new company FIX bearings as I haven’t really had any time to push it yet and really get involved in promoting and designing products for it, it will be an exciting venture and you can expect some crazy shit from this company.

In between I am gonna take photo’s and make edit’s in Ireland and try to help our scene here. There is gonna be a big skate comp/jam/event in the new skatepark that just opened here and it’s on St. Patrick’s day so anyone who ever wanted to come to Dublin for the super party time and fun skate scene, start booking cause this event is going to be amazing. Paddy’s day is fucking mental here so prepare yourself for a culture shock, haha.

5. Anything else you would like to mention?

WMC for life.
