Josh Weathers interview

Were you born and raised in the Raleigh area? What do you think of the skateboarding scene there? How would you describe it to someone who has never been?

Nah. I was born in Wurzberg Germany. Came to the US at 3 years old. Been here ever since. Military family. Raleigh is a real cool place all around. The skate scene is always evolving. Today it’s a frontside flip tomorrow it’s a switch 540. Unlimited spots unlimited love, there’s plenty to do here, you name it. Real split though. One or two words of persuasion to the right cop and you might get a extra 30 min on that 12 stair.

What is your personal goal in skateboarding? Are you someone who aspires to become one of the bigger names or are you just out there to have a good time? Or Both?

My personal goal in skateboarding is to go hard or go home all day every- day. That’s what keeps it fun for me. Right now, I’d say I’m just having fun with this whole thing. For me this is a can’t stop wont stop type of thing. Ya heard me?

What’s your setup right now?

8.25 endless grind NC champs shop deck, Mob grip, Theeve trucks, thanks to the OG Dan Murphy, and Reds bearings.

Who or what has helped you out the most in skateboarding?

GOD. Footage is a very necessary piece of documentation, like proof to show the realness. A photo is a moment frozen in time forever. Like the look on your face, the placement of the truck locked in a perfect smith grind or a bail and you have the “oh shit!” face.

What are the top tracks on the Josh Weathers mp3 player right now?

Everything Wiz Everything Ross Everything Curren$y and that’s just today!

All right, give me some shout outs, and then I’ll let you get on with your day.

Mom and pop. Skate Jawn, Carolinaskateboarding.com Endless grind skateshop, Ford, Benton, Preston, Piff, Coleman,Tobias, Post22, up top and down low, and everybody that has ever ripped through the streets.
