Serge Murphy Interview

How’s it going Serge let’s start with the normal boring basics How old are you, where you from, and who is currently helping you out?
I’m 21 I live in Dracut, Massachusetts, a town over from Lowell and I’ve been getting things from Bones, Powell, and I skate for Eastern Boarder.

You’ve been getting a lot of coverage this year in the past. You were in Thanks Camera 4 Jump the Shark, had the ender in Shape Deuce, and were in the finals for the Bones Wheels contest. How long have you been filming all of this for?
I’ve been filming for those videos for about 2 and a half years, and the Bones video was pretty much my Shape Deuce part with a couple other things added into it.

The concept of the Bones wheels contest was cool. Personally I thought it would’ve been better if it wasn’t by votes because whoever has the most Facebook friends wins you know? You must’ve still been stoked you made the finals, though right?
Haha, yeah I was really psyched that they picked me. Yeah they have been giving me stuff for a while. I love Bones there the best!!!

Now that all these videos have drop and you had that trick in Manny Santiago’s 9-10-11 video people are gonna start noticing you more are you gonna keep doing what you’re doing and filming in the streets or are you gonna hit the contest circuit?
Haha well I’m always going to film in the streets, but I’ve never really entered any contests before. I would like to though, it seems pretty fun!

How did you become friends with Dave(Bachinsky), Manny(Santiago), Justin Hogan, and all the Lowell heads?
I met them through skating with my friends in my hometown that knew them and they introduced me to all of them after a little while.

Did they help you get your name out at all? Or was it mostly from the video parts?
Yeah they definitely helped me out like motivating me to go skate as much as possible, and letting me have parts in their videos was awesome. I’m psyched that they let me be a part of everything.

Whose parts were you most stoked on in Shape Deuce? I loved Matt Fennell and John Coyne’s part how about you?
Aww I can’t even pick man i love everyone’s parts everyone kills it so hard!!!

What should we keep our eyes out for in the future for yourself?
That I’m going to be skating as much as i can and just trying to keep myself going as long as I can.

Want to thank anyone?

Yeah shout out to Hadley Crew and all of my friends, family, and everyone who supports me. Thank you so much!
