Jive wit Jake GetYourKicksTulsa

This is some shit Phipps and Myles did with me for GetYourKicksTulsa.com now its here!

MONDAYS WITH MYLES: ALBUQUERQUE VACATION PART 1
So last year and earlier this month Damien Alzidan, Dj Fort, Myles Shupe, Chris Kurr, Taylor Etchison and myself took a 5 day skate trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico. So i thought it would be sick to have Myles interview our friend and tour guide, Jacob Jonhson. I knew Jake from when i lived in LA about 2 years ago. It was tight to see him and all the other homies from back in the day and to spend 5 days getting sick clips in the crazy place they call the "Bu". Enjoy.

Jacob Johnson Interview by Myles shupe

For those who may not know, let's get your age, how long you've been skating, and your sponsors? Alright i like where you're going with this. I'm 21 fuckin years old. I've been skating since middle school and right now i ride for a shop out here in ABQ, Skate City and Odeus hooks it up with clothes and boards..

Is it true you got kicked off Workshop for calling Bledsoe out on 'fake steez'? You're a god damn fool if you think anything about that steez is fake..and NO that's the taller JAKE JOHNSON...I'm like 5'7.

Oh my mistake, so what's the deal with green chile? Why does it have its own section of the food pyramid for you fools? Man i feel bad for anyone that doesn't know about GREEN CHILE!!okay okay like its like veggies meet chronic then roasted diced and thrown on anything! Everyone out here digs that shit for real.

What's the craziest thing you've ever done with green chile? Hahahahaha craziest thing I've ever done with Greens...? We make chicks deep throat that shit all the time....It's normal nowadays.


Backside Boardslide ph:David Jojola




What exactly were you thinking when you tried to switch ollie El Toro? Was it the green chile? Well to tell you the truth there were a few different things that played factors into all that. Maybe a lack of Green Chile because they don't have it everywhere in Cali, i think i remember passing the blunt that day..i prolly shoulda ripped it.. It was my homie Burny's last day in the states till he went back to Germany and i guess i just thought I HAD IT!



Tummy Tuck



Most people would kill to go to Europe at least once in their life, and you went.. What.. 4 times in one year? What was that like? I got to go out there a few time in 08' and once in 09' and I'm super thankful for that opportunity. Odues hooked it up so good on those trips we got to go all over Germany a few places in Spain and some other countries i was BlackedOut on most of it but i got some footy peep odeus.com and look out for my part that I'm finishing up for them.

To me, being away from home for more than 10 days seems fucking outrageous.. Would you ever want to spend another 30 days in a different country? I don't remember how long that first Odeus trip was to Germany but on some real shit after three weeks you start missing the smallest shit!! HOT CHEETOS, fuckin legit drinks, Green Chile for sure ICE! those fools out there never had ICE, Americans, AMERICA...I missed everything and everyone but i do have some great friends out there in Europe.

This is off topic, but, why the fuck are people always gettin stabbed up in the ALBQ!?
From now on call it The Bu, or ABQ or 505. ALBQ isn't workin for me...that's prolly why most get stabbed people say that shit wrong.hahaha

If I move to Albuquerque will you protect me? What!? move out here we'll have so much fun!!!! And shit i don't get tripped on but this is FEEYTOWN thats why. People know there place out here tho..


Backside Noseblunt ph:David Jojola




If I move to Albuquerque will you dump your girlfriend for me? Dude i don't know! i really like the girl i got right now if anything we can share her...ill take mon. wed. fri. sun. you get the rest. hahaha jk (sorry meg if you read this but myles is a cool dude!)

Enough homosex. Will you sign one of your ads for me? Thats pretty HOMO aren't you like 23? i ain't shit!

Give our readers a crazy story about you and Nick. Hahah OMG i don't even know where to start.i guess a good one that happen recently okay sit down for this one...we decide to shroom while my GF drives us around the city...about 45min into on the freeway nicks tire pops megan is driving I'm trippin balls nick and stormy are in the back seat..we ditched that car got picked up and drove around for another 3hours...and that story ain't shit! Get me a beer and a jay and you'll hear some shit.

Am I the only person that would rather watch Alfred do a hardflip on flat than Bryan Herman do it down MACBA? That little fucker has a mean one..i enjoy watching

On New Years I realized your step brother Larry is a pretty crazy dude.. You want to give us a recap of New Years '10? FUCK YEAH Larry is so down! that fool showed all you fools what time it was. none of you guys could hang with us pretty much. okay so we start the night off at Drey's drinkin beer we bounce go down to the valley to Larry's. that dudes got a ice chest full of jungle juice i kick that shit over Larry bust out the shotty and we bucked shots off...oh yeah and i blacked out around the time i kicked over the jungle juice.IDK why they handed me the shot gun?

So, do you have any plans for 2010? Fuck yeah get money fuck bitches...M.O.B.



Frontside Feeble ph:Florian Hopfensperger



Think you can pencil me in to let me draw you? It will be 10 times sexier than that scene from Titantic. IDK what you're talkin about you talkin about that boat again weren't you talkin about that shit while you were out here..you're ship sunk long ago

This is a lot fucking harder than it seems, so give us your thank yous and shout outs. Yeah i feel you...But lets start this off with thank you for your time.FeeyTown, mitch an alex at odeus, dave jojola, shea and dave at the shop, satan for getting me to where i am hahaha...um coolaid pouches, blunts, shrooms, the dogs, girls, and ummmm my skateboard for giving me life support.

Thanks to Jacob, Dre, Amanda, Ricky, Alfred, Ryan in Amarillo and anyone else i forgot for making this trip the adventure it was. See you fucks soon. Dont forGET YOUR KICKS.

JD's Coming of Age ...coming soon













Aside from showing us that he's a hyper teenager, hungry skateboarder, and horrible driver...haha JD went out with us the other day and showed us a few of his moves (Below: Front 180) and they weren't half bad...














FULL
"JD Coming of Age"
Interview coming soon...

Mikey B drops some knowledge..

Photography: Homies
Text: Jake Da Jeweler

Name? Mike
Barela

Where you from? Born and raised in Albuquerque!

Years Skating? 23 years


23 years SKATING! How old are you? you look 23! I'd rather not answer that. Ha
ha I'm 35

What was the O.G. ABQ skate scene like? It was a hella tight knit squad. Everybody knew each other. It wasn't like it is now, skateboarding was not the "cool thing". There was like 10 to 20 skateboarders at your local high schools. The scene was really underground but that made it really cool. UNM used to be so crazy. On any Friday or Saturday night, you could find like 20 to 30 skateboarders outside the SUB building skating, chillin drinking 40s, smoking herb, or just hanging out and hooking up with girls. We used to run shit over there. Nowadays your lucky to get a full skate session in without being kicked out. That was always the meeting place to set off the night.Back then, there were only like 3 shop teams that were well established. Concrete Wave, BZ, and Danz were the only teams who had bangers on their squads.


Right: While everyone else was in "normal" High School classes, Mike was taking classes at Indian School. Subject, Pop Shuv-It Indy's 101... Grade A+ Photo:???

Danz skate shop? Where was that and do you remember anyone that skated for them? They were always in the height but moved around a bunch. there was one on San Mateo and the other two were on Montgomery. This kid Jeremy Sevier, the Ginn twins and I believe Mike Giant skated for Danz

What were some of the first spots you skated that you still see kids skating around town? I grew up right downtown so those spots were the first I ever skated. Downtown has changed so much though. All the schoolyard were always a hit for us old schoolers cause we had no skate parks.

Where do you skate these days? My old ass usually sticks to the skate parks nowadays. I enjoy skating mini ramps most now.

If we wanted to find you skating would we go to Alamosa or the new Paseo park? Both, i live near Alamose but i think i go to Paseo more. But my local park is 86th and Tower

Who did you skate with in the O.G. days? Team Concrete Wave, big ups!! The OG Concrete Wave team was Ray Chavez, Tommy Borunda, myself, Leroy Lovato, Jeff Barboa, Elliot Shoei, and a few other heads. I was always with Ray, and Tommy like everyday I was skating. Concrete Wave was hands down the most innovative shop team for a very long time in Albuquerque.

Who do you skate with now? My Sonny boy Bobby.

Left: Nowadays when you see Mike Dropping In, its not gonna be on some GNARLY ditch wall like he did back in 1997!!! Photo:Mike Kirby

Other then skating what have you been getting into? Just working and snowboarding in the winter. Its a little easier on my body and I can't skate everyday anymore. My old bones can't take it. Haha!!

Where can we fi
nd you on a Friday night? Chillin' at home or downtown having a drink with my little berd.

Your "Litlle Berd"..? Like a kuku bird? My Shorty, my Dove hahahaha my girl friend!

What youngsters have you notice on the come up here in town? Damn there is so much young'uns ripping right now that I can't even keep track. The guys who come to mind are kids like Brian Jackson, Little Teal, Alfred Flores, Xander, to name just a few..

Who's the best ABQ skater in you opinion? Past, Ray Chavez hands down! Ray was like the best street skateboarder in Albuquerque when he was 13!! He was doing shit I had only seen in pro videos. Another cat that was amazing was Leroy Lovato.


What was a trick you remember seeing Ray (chavez) do that you were like, "damn!"? Backside board the curved rail at UNM's sub building in 19
90. That was so ahead of its time! He was the first person i saw ollie boardslide and ollie 5050 rails. Way back in like 1987! Everyone was jus doing CAVEMANS onto rails still.

I always thought it was Tommy B that did the p
ole jam 5050 on the curved rail, was that HIM or YOU? That was me not Tommy! Everone always mixed us up. It's funny there's this old TransWorld video that has Tommy doing a BIG flip down the Del Norte 8 and the caption said it was ME. I got all the credit for that one. I always let people know it was Tommy tho hahaha

Above: Mike put the MIX UP to rest with this 5 frame sequence of the Ollie Hang'Up 5050, on the old UNM Sub rail. Photo:Mark Sanchez

I know you skated with Tommy B, and everyone always tells me good stories about that dude...got any good ones from skating with Tommy? That is one Albuquerque skateboarder that no doubt should have went pro. Stereo skateboards flew him up to San Francisco in the late 90's and he killed it! I believe it was Pat Odell who took him to a gnarly ass flat rail that was like hip high and extended out over like 10 plus stairs. Pat Odell had took a top notch pro who is a rail killer to that rail like a month or so before and that guy didn't want anything to do with it. Tommy ends up doing it now problem. You can catch that footy on the Avenue Skateboards video which I believe is on YouTube.


Wanna say whats up to anyone...or how you wanna end this? I wanna say whats up to my life long friends whom I grew up skating with, Tommy & Ray, my girl Juanda, Mom and Pops, my brother Chris, and all of my fellow Albuquerque skateboarders young and old like me.....
