Best week ever feat. Hani Shamat
So this week, three of the best people i have ever known came to visit me in Arizona. Kevin Horn, Sebatian Zeck, and Peter Edge came. So far its been nothing but non stop epicness and fun. This picture was taken on our second night here. We met up with our mutual friend Michelle who goes to ASU as well, shes tight. Anywho we all sat around and chatted and conversed, it was boss. Basically ive been having the time of my life with these dudes.
Hani “50 Cent” Jackson
and I’m from Compton, MN (st. paul)
So now you’re a cheese head, how you liking it so far?
im likin it. people are super nice and the city (Appleton) is pretty cool. I went skating one day at 9 AM and met a bum in a park, sat down with him for an hour and he gave me a beer and we talked about his problems with women. No joke, he lived in the woods by the park. But even though I moved to Wisconsin, im not a packers fan…in fact, I still hate football just as much as I always have.
So I happened to have skateboarded with you for a long time, so I love skating with you so let me question you, would you rather skate the park by your house, or a cement skate plaza and explain why?
Well…the park by my house sucks….and a cement plaza would be perfect…….but I totally did my first back tail at the park, so im going to have to skate there.
Battle front one or two, and why?
1 no question. It was fun. They tried too damn hard in battlefront 2. with 1 there was just explosions everywhere and crazy shit happening all the time...better maps, and bigger explosions. 2 was shit…except I like space battles.
Who is the baddest ass mofucka in star wars?
so hard. Mace windu just cause he’s Samuel L jacskon. I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKIN BANTHAS ON THIS MOTHERFUCKIN DEATHSTAR. Uhhhh I gotta go with vader. Nobody beats vader.
Whats shoes have you worn for the longest time and what were they?
hmmm…DVSessses. I really like dvsesess. I don’t remember what shoe specifically though. I make all my shit last. My shoes right now are on like month 4.
Whats the best shittiest, most hyphy rap you’ve listened to?
Oh man…Yung Joc- hear me comin
Orrrr GUCCI MANE – EVERYBODY KNOW ME!
If I handed you a nintedo 64, and one game, what game would you choose?
ROAD RASH 64!!!!
After living and skating in the twin cities for as long as I’ve known you, you still don’t know how to get to government plaza, how did this happen?
I mean, you’d totally think I didn’t intern there for a month or something…
Hani, you are true motherfucking g, you’ve kept it more real than anyone else I know. You do your own thing every day, so where does hani shamat see himself in ten years?
in ur mom.
No but seriously, fuckin bitches, gettin money.

Peter Edge really wanted to skate, skateboarding said let me into your world. Peter relpied i don't have the tiiiiiiime
1) So time for the formalities, even though for a two-month period I spent more time at your house then my own. What is your name, and where are you from/living?
My name is Peter Edge. I live in Saint Paul Minnesota
2) Out of the pokemon series for gameboy, which is your favorite series: a) blue red yellow b) gold silver crystal c) sapphire ruby emerald d) fire red leaf green e) pearl diamond. And why is that the best iteration of pokemon games?
Gold and Silver for sure! They're the best because there are twice as many gyms as the other games. And I remember them way better than the first two.
3) What channel provided the best Saturday morning cartoon lineup?
We argued this one for a while didn't we. I was a die-hard “kidsWB”er and you were a “fox kids”er. Whatever floats your boat, all I'll say is that kidsWB had Jackie Chan's only ever cartoon show. Damn, where did all the good cartoons go.
4) Favorite stencil you’ve made?
I would say the Sig one, but that was a remake of an old stencil. Ill go with the one of Mr. Miyagi from Karate Kid. One of my favorite movies, and it took forever to cut it out.
5) All right, so you get more rocked than anyone else I know, worst fall you’ve ever taken?
Well, I've had 3 broken arms, but those were more of an inconvenience than anything else. The fall that scared me the most was when I hit my head at the Salvation Army banks. That's the one in New Flavors promo #3. I stayed off the board for a couple days after that one. I was actually scared to ride after that, that bump on my head stayed for like a month.
6) Favorite spot to chill along the Mississippi?
I don't know. Anywhere near the monument, I suppose.
7) Wednesday night riders, good thing or hassle?
I have really mixed feelings about Wednesday night riders. I've had good experiences as well as bad (falling off my bike on Ford Parkway). But it was fun while it lasted
8) Peter, I learn things about you that I never knew about everyday, so whats one interesting thing that I don’t know about you?
You might know this already. When I was 3 years old or so, I was chewing on a foot long lego piece and crawling on a bench. I fell off the bench and the lego piece jammed up my throat and pierced through the back wall of my throat. It was really gnarly and my parents were scared for my life. Actually, I suppose this was the worst fall I've ever taken, haha
9) How hyped are you for where the wild things are?
SO HYPED. And I am even more hyped that we are going to watch it opening night with you in ARIZONA! This trip is gonna be so sick. I'm so excited.
10) So peter, mad love, one of the realest people I know, any last comments, or shout outs you would like to throw out. And where do you see yourself in ten years?
In ten years I see myself in medical school at the U of M. Hopefully I am still skateboarding and slappying curbs and whatnot (note to ourselves: learn slappys while in Arizona). Shout outs to you, Kevin, Basti, Jeremy, Rayshaun, everyone else in the video, Conrad, Mark, Chris, Nicole and all of her good friends (This summer was really fun), and my family. Thanks to Kevin for letting me be in his video, I am so hyped to see New Flavors premier in December. To all the kiddies reading this: buy Kevin's video. Haha thats it, I'm out.
Peace Sig--- I'll see you in 4 days.
So it has come to that time where i gotta say peace out. I would highly recommend listening to Kid Cudi, nah just playin, fuck that, but forreal listen to the song "seer" by the brian's Jonestown massacre. America remember take out your bling and dress to impress.

9) So me and you have gotten into some absolutely ridiculous situations, which one is your favorite?
10) Basti, you’ve kept it mad real since I met you in sapinsh that one day, continue to keep it real. So as the final reflective question, where do you see yourself in ten years?
1) Alright, even though this is your blog, let everyone know exactly who you are, where you're from, and where you're living.
2) What are you doing in Arizona?
3) Where would i find Sig on a Friday night, eleven o'clock?

Any shout outs? shout out to all of the minnesota homies, expecially, you (Basti), peter edge, and kevin horn, cannot wait for you to be here. shout out to ash ketchem, for trying to catch them all (pokemon) for the past decade. Mad love to han solo for keeping it real in star wars. FInally props to the writers of futurama, only good animated show on anymore.

WHY SKATEBOARDING HAS CONSUMED MY LIFE FEAT. KEVIN HORN
so i have decided to take a break from reporting on my stupid daily activities and cheap beer (sorry daniel), to bring a special report to you on skateboarding, and one of, if not the best friend i have, kevin horn.
My name is Kevin Horn. I am from Saint Paul, Minnesota, and I am currently hyped on finishing my video.
2) So according to contents of my hard drive, this video you’re making, new flavors, I do believe it has something to do with skateboarding is almost done, what are your feelings about the video?
I am super excited for it to be finished. I've been working on it for about two years now, and as fun as it has been, I'm ready to be done. I'm really proud of all the guys who have been filming parts for New Flavors. The amount of progression I've seen from everybody is incredible.
3) Using your film student skills, can you explain to me why the movie “cloverfield” sucks, feel free to disagree too.
Haha, this is kind of embarrassing. I haven't seen "Cloverfield" but I think I know why you don't like it. The whole movie is hand held, which is kind of ridiculous but it's good to try new things I suppose. Now I know to never shoot an entire movie hand held.
4) If your life was a mirror image of the show “Seinfeld” and you were jerry, what real life people would be George, Kramer, and Elaine.
You would be George, Peter would Kramer, and Basti would be Elaine because I really don't have a female friend who we all hang out with everyday.
5) On dec. 21 2012m the Mayan apocalypse but of course, where will I be able to find you.
You will find me at the 24 hour Girl Talk concert, probably naked.
6) What video game do you frown upon me the most for playing?
Metal Gear Solid. I don't fucking understand why you like it so much, or video games in general. Hahaha. But it makes you who you are so it's whatever.
7) How fucking cool was it that we played in the metrodome!? I totes forgot about that, that was epic.
Damn dude that was what, like almost two years ago now? I can't believe we did that. Looking back, it's so weird that I played sports in high school. Let alone playing at the fucking Metrodome with you. I'm glad we shared that experience together.
8) If you were stuck on an island with only soulja boy or lil wayne. Who could you live with for longer before committing suicide?
Lil Wayne, because I find him somewhat entertaining. Does Soulja Boy even have more than one song?
9) If you were in Arizona Ice Tea headquarters, and they said you could have one can of any falvor, what flavor would you choose?
The original lemon iced tea, duh.
10) In five years where does Kevin Horn see himself?
Shit, I'll be 25. I will be done with college, not working at Davanni's anymore, and hopefully shooting bigger projects. Okay, you've known me for like 6 years. I don't think I've changed since then and I don't plan to change when i'm 25. I'll be doing the same shit, with the same people, having just as much fun as ever.
11) Okay, time to give shout outs if you got’em, and give a little ending statement if you want.
Well of course I gotta give a shout out to my man Sig for conducting this interview, and being my wing man for 6 solid years. I also gotta give shouts to Basti, Peter, and Jeremy, and the whole New Flavors crew for that matter. Love you guys. Thanks to everyone who's put up with me and skated in front of my camera.
Ending statement, eh?
I told myself that 2009 was going to be the best year of my life, and so far there has not been one moment where this statement did not hold true.

popping this blogging shits cherry
So hi all, this is sig coming to you out of the AZ, moved out here, having a fairly harsh time. So things that have happened since i moved here, well to start off, ive been getting pretty buck on a skateboard errryday. but okay, last night me and some homies were making wizard staffs, we were getting pretty buck. there was a party down the hallway from my friends apartment, so we tried to hit it up after we all had a suitable spell casting device, but the mother fucking jocks kicked us out. they were getting pretty "swoll" and were ready to "flex" on our skinny white skateboarders asses. but they bitched out, but still not cool, kicked us out of a party, had no reason
