John the Man Reeves is pro skateboarder that has been living in new york the last few years,
and over those years i have always been hyped that he moved to nyc. I have seen john at work for deep now
, and It has been my pleasure to bring to you a short interview of the man.
L.L. Q: so you we're on invisible for a while right? didn't Jamie Thomas ride for those dudes didn't he?
J.T.M.R. A: yeah i actually punched him in the head on tour once, hahaahchchhca
L.L. Q: wait what you gotta tell me this one
J.T.M.R. A: ok we were on tour doing some demos or whatever the kids loved us, we shreded, we kicked ass on our skateboards.
So then we had to go to the mandatory after party with all the locals, and we show up at this house in madison, Wisconsin. which is a full on party town,and they had this fridge which was filled with forties of olde E, just like outta a fuckin DR. DRE video. so i just start drinkin as many forties as i could, and i think i drank about four forties and was hittin off the keg too that night.I was just wasted outta my mind, and jamie told me he didn't respect me. so that didn't sit to well with me in my condition of drunkeness, and we were in the van so we he said that to me i jumped up on him super fly schnucka style. then I started hittin him in his head, and he was covering up his head, he didn't want to fight. so it wasn't really a fight it was more of me just beating on him. i passed out in the van in the hotel parking lot, and i woke up all crusty the next morning to the team manager of invisible (dave bergdahl) tellin me that jamie was gonna quit if he didn't kick me off the team. so he gave dave the ultimatum that if he didn't kick john off the team and the tour that i'm quiting, and dave chose not to kick me off. so jamie quit, gotta fire under his ass, went back to Alabama then philly, got on toy machine. I met up with him later on that tour at love park, and we reconciled, we're not enemies to this day we're cool. I saw him last time i was in canada and we talked. so if he reads this shit he's gonna laugh.
L.L. Q: so how do you like workin at Pier 59?
J.T.M.R. A: aaauuuhh it's work??
L.L. Q: at least you got a cool boss right?
J.T.M.R. A: yeah sometimes he's cool. he was cooler when he looked like a biker. now he looks like a Gestapo hahahahahah
L.L. Q: so you've been sober the whole year of 2008, and it's going on one month and two weeks. tell me about that?
J.T.M.R. A: This is a new thing i'm tryin you know uh. For previous years i've you know i drink. i like beer, i drink beers. so its like a daily routine, you drink beer at night, you drink beer when you wake up, you drink beer on your lunch break.
L.L. Q: it gets hard to break those daily routines right?
J.T.M.R. A: so yeah now its time for me to see for myself. well its kinda like that song "johnny we're sorry. what is wrong in your life that you must get drunk everynight" so i had to listen to that song one time, and i was like why do i need to get drunk everynight. so right now i'm realizing that i don't need to get drunk everynight, and hopefully i'll be able to parlay that into a moderation type thing where i can know when to have a good time, and know when not to. cause life you know you have to have a good time, but when it's too good all the time shit goes wrong.
feeble fakes still killin it
L.L. Q: so tell me a donger story?
J.T.M.R. A: one time we were in Taiwan and these local girls asked him to smoke speed and he denied them. they were bummed.
L.L. Q: so thats it?
J.T.M.R. A: yup hahaha
L.L. Q: describe tyrone olsen's nollie backside flip?
J.T.M.R. A: he stopped. hahahahahahahaha
