Interview and photo by Justin Kosman.


Your local skatepark disappears, except for one obstacle, which one do you keep and why? This one flat ledge; it’s just what’s fun right now!


You fall into a black hole and enter the twilight zone.  You suddenly have front and back brakes… Which mini ramp trick do you learn first?
1260 nose pick.


Who can Jedi nose wheelie the longest in Norcal?
You mean the world? My boy Justin Burns AKA “Ya Burns” can nose wheelie farther than anyone!


Best spot to ride in San Fran?
Ehhh… I don’t ride there too much, but 3rd and Army is always fun… Played out, but fun.


Best spot to eat in San Fran?
I like Blonies Pizza; it is a must stop when we’re there.


Fastest car in your neighborhood?
Mine, duhhh!!!


Best present your GF has given you in that past 6 months. We know she gives you goodies…
Ha-ha! There’s too many in the past 6 months to name one, I got two though… I liked this one kind of pair of pants and they were going to stop making them so she bought me 6 pairs of the same kind, and I was psyched. I’ve been skating a lot lately so she bought me a new deck as a random surprise, again very psyched — She’s the best.


Krew or Altamont?
Altamont, they’ve got a better team.


Luc-e grind or smith grind?
Smith grind, I’m not too in to Luc-e grinds. I do like seeing people do them though. They just fuck your pedals.


The scooter thing isn’t as bad as it seems, you wised up and made the switch… But what was your highest achievement in that scene?
What are you talking about??? I did it when I was younger, had fun, and moved on… That’s all I got to say.


Subaru or Mitsubishi?
Subaru for sure, I know how Coco’s first EVO ran, even before its death at only 22,000 miles.


Ride The Sky or Fully Flared?
I like them both, but Ride The Sky is my fav right now. The filming, skating, the spots all are amazing, it gets me pumped.


Spot you want to seek out that you’ve seen in a vid and who was riding/skating it?
Well, I think everyone wants to go to Barcelona. That place looks like heaven. There’s these two sets with perfect rails down them, in San Diego, I think. They look awesome. They skate them in the Fallen video. Those hubba’s in Arizona everyone rides still look amazing… There’s just too many to name.


Colin Mackay or Garret Reynolds? Seriously.
Ha-ha, I’m not picking one. They are both my friends and are both amazing riders. They both kill it and are both my favorite riders.


Okay, not seriously. Why don’t you move out of Norcal? No comment!

    [...] Kosman recently did an interview with Kevin, and it’s up now on the Verde site. The correct answer to the last question is “because NorCal is hella rad,” [...]
