Alright Drake, so where you from?

Columbus, Ohio.

How long you been in SF?

Like about two years, it’ll be three in November. Damn that’s crazy…

Word, what’s one thing in Columbus that you can’t get in California?

Grippos! You know what’s up with those?

Nah, what is it?

Literally the best chip ever, if anyone sees this send me some Grippos for real.

What about the other way around?

Hills. The fucking beach. Nature, like good nature, you know what I’m talking about? Like that good shit. But yeah, the hills.

Alright, Al told me to ask you about the racist shit you had to deal with back in Columbus. Did you get heat?

What the fuck Al!? Nah, I mean, people are weird and definitely racist out there, and now that Trump is president and he won in Ohio, people got super weird. Like really open with it. But I think honestly it was more like black people being low key racist towards white people and then me, because I was skateboarding. Like they’d be all, “oh you white boy,” this and that. I mean low key niggas didn’t use to fuck with me back in Ohio, cause basically I was mean. Haha!

Word, and what’s up with Chaz McGee?

Oh, that dude is the sickest. Chaz McGee is tight, straight up flies over vans and shit out of this bowl at this shitty ass skatepark called Dodge. That dude’s tight.

How much would it take to shave yr head?

Nah. You’d have to give me a dumbass amount of money man. I love that shit, gotta let it do what it do.

Are you a fun guy?

Uh, with mushrooms? Yeah I’m a fun guy like that for sure.

Daily?

If I got em definitely, I’ll do em daily. Just a little bit at a time, or I’ll wait a couple of days and then just go all out. Yeah that shit’s tight.

Does it help with yr skating?

Yes, definitely. It’s not even that it helps with the skating, I guess it’s just that there are no mental blocks. I mean, on mushrooms you think a whole lot and kinda get in your head, but when it comes to skating I don’t think of, “oh I could get sacked,” or “I could do this,” or whatever. It’s just like, “oh I’m about to do this,” or some shit like that.

So someone just beat the world record fr highest ollie at 45″. You got that?

If I stretch.

What about highest fakie ollie, think you got it?

Man I don’t know…niggas can do some crazy shit! But if I stretch…

And eat a little mushrooms?

Yes, for sure a little.

I believe in you. So you just got back from Miami with Quasi, how was that trip?

Dude, that shit was so fun. Went to the best bump to bar I’ve ever skated in my life, and literally had the best crew ever. Those dudes are the sickest, however Chad put that team together. He did a good job.

And who was MVP?

I mean with most tricks done, probably Dane Barker.  He’s fucking good. I feel like he got a clip every day, and they’re all good clips. But, Jake. Cause you already know he did some magic shit!

Of course, so what’s yr average day look like out here? 

Fuck, my average day? It’s not too sick, I wake up, make or go get some açaí, if I got mushrooms eat those with the açaí, go to Soma, meet up with people, and if ain’t nobody trying to skate just go bomb some hills or just go eat a bunch of food.

So when’d you get the Quasi Q tattooed? 

Haha! Oh don’t even…I don’t know, I been with those dudes for about two years, so maybe like a year ago? Like barely on, I just got it cause it literally looks cool and I love those dudes.

So what’s next fr you in life, you gonna stay out here?

Yeah, probably gonna stay out here for awhile. Definitely want to do a lot of traveling and shit like that. I’ve never left the States, so really want to get out and just do cool shit with my friends and my family. I just try to do more skateboarding. More, better, whatever…

Anyone you wanna shout out?

Fuckin…I mean obviously Quasi, all the DLX homies and all the FTC homies. My niggas over at Sidewalk Juice, cause that shit good. Mushrooms. All my niggas back in Ohio and Chris cause he’s still out there. Shit, I guess you? And my parents! Y’all killed it mom and dad! Thanks for this life, I love you!

Haha nice. Anything else you need the world to know?

I might not be the best at it, but just go be nice to people. Just go be nice to everybody, even if you don’t like them.

That’s what the world needs?

Basically. If everyone was nice it’d be sick!
