Q. Hi, have you ever been embarrassed when you fell?
-Nevan

A. Only when I"m doing something relatively easy (especially when it's in front of a crowd). I once fell on my head dropping into a small ramp; I had a helmet on and there was a hole in the ramp that I couldn't see, but it was in front of a big crowd - so I was very embarrassed.

Q. What was it like skateboarding on the bones brigade video show? Who was your first sponsor and how did you get sponsored?
-Mike

A. It was weird doing the first Bones Brigade video because nobody had made a skate video yet. I just did the tricks I knew I could make within a couple of tries so I didn't waste anybody's time (or film). My first sponsor was Dogtown Skateboards. The team manager showed up at my local skatepark for a competition and noticed me skating. They started giving me product after that.
-Tony

Q. Who are your favorite friends to skate with?
-Bean

A. Kevin Staab, Jesse Fritsch, Bucky Lasek, Andy Macdonald, Shaun White and Jean Postec.
-Tony

Q. How were you first introduced to skateboarding?
-Curtis

A. My older brother let me use his board in our alley when I was 10.
-Tony

Q. Hi Tony! Ever got an injury so bad that you thought you might have to quit skating?
-SéanMíchaél

A. The first time I tore cartilage in my knee it would got stuck a few times so that I couldn't straighten my leg. I didn't know that surgery would easily fix the problem, so I thought it was a permanent condition. I learned to trust doctors after that.
