| Q- Please introduce yourself.

"Ok.. where to begin? I'm Joe Sims, I'm 17 and I live in a little town
called Ridgecrest "RC" Basically skating is my life.. there is nothing that
I love to do more.. it's that simple.. ha-ha. I have been skating for 2 and half years, and that really
isn't long enough in my opinion.. I wish I had started earlier with all of the skaters
coming up these days. The only thing I do if I'm not skating is
chillin' with all of my homies. That's all you really need to know.."

|
Q-When did you first start skateboarding and what would you say got you
hooked on skating?
|
"I first started like ages ago.. but I never really took it seriously then you know..who did?
ha-ha. The first thing that got me hooked I remember
was skating this park that was about 2 or 3 minutes form my house, It just became a
habit I guess.. just couldn't get enough of it Idk. In short friends did it for me.."
|
|
Q- What was your first board set up?
|
"Ha-ha.. my first set
up was pretty jank.. I was riding a Copelands deck,
Venture trucks, Mini logos, and some reds bearings.. It did the job."
|
|
Q- How has skateboarding influenced your life?
|
"Skateboarding has influenced my life in more ways then I can remember..I
don't know what I would be doing with my life right now if I
didn't have skateboarding.. It's almost too much to think about
ha-ha. It keeps me out trouble.. skating with friends."
|
|
Q- What is your current set up?
|
"Current setup.. uhh Silent deck (8), Venture trucks (lows), Hubba wheels
(52mm), and some Bones bearings.. It gets the job done.." :)

Q- What was your most memorable session?
|
"There are seriously too many to choose from. I don't want to even
try.."

"My fav. trick is probably a backside heelflip.. haa and the trick I'm working on right now is fakie big
heelflip, got to get em' like butter!"
|
|
Q- Tell us about your favorite skate spot?
|
"I have a few fav spots.. One is Shadow Hills.. it's this small Jr. High,
its the perfect setup.. starts with a oversized four and you do down a
hallway so you can hit a flat ground trick or two, then to this buttery seven stair.. I learned of my tricks there..so perfect. If
your a ledge person.. there are ledges for days..Hillview is another
fav.. ok think of a school that is made just like a
skatepark, it seriously has everything to skate.. My last spot is my
friend Ck's garage, we skate there for hours.. there are endless games of skate that have been played there."

Q: Who & what is motivating and pushing you at the moment?

"All of my friends are pushing me to skate right now, they keep me
going.. one other thing is skating for all of those who aren't.. your
missing out."

Q: Love and hate.

"First of all I love God my family, and friends. I love my skateboard, and everything that comes with skating.. I hate rocks, dust in the grip,
flat spots, razor tail, chips, delayering, etc. I also hate all of
those people who hate on what we
do..seriously."
|
|
