Bobby Worrest. Out form the Shadows.

What do you do straight after you finish the last demo of the tour your on? Sign some boobs?
Hit the bar and get as much sauce down your neck as physically possible?

If I were a ‘sponsored Am’ with a beard riding for the godfather of skateboarding’s totally radical board company maybe
I’d do both at the same time whilst performing an egg plant. Good old Bobby Worrest, what a guy.

Ever since he threw his skateboard at a large bus at the beginning of his Gnar Gnar section I’ve thought he was great, what can I say, I’m easily hyped on stupid crap. Its not just the board throwing incident, he maneuvers a skateboard incredibly well and has managed to groom a power-beard at such a young age. Plus if you ride for Es and your on tour with McCrank you just can’t possibly be shit.

OK. For One Night Only, this is Bobby Worrest.

What’s your full name Bobby?

Bobby R Worrest, my middle names Robert.

How old are you?

21.

Where did you grow up?

Pennsylvania.

Is that where you living when you first started skating Downingtown?

Yeah Downingtown Pennsylvania

When did you move there?

I moved to Texas for 2 years then I moved to Washington to go to high school.

Do you still live in Washington now ?

Yeah I do, I live downtown in DC.

Can you still skate Pulaski park or is it a bust?

Yeah I skate there every day, but it’s still a bust.

So if the cops roll by you just breeze?

Yeah you just run from the cops.

How’s the European Es tour going so far?

A little exhausting, a little tiring but it’s been great all
round. I go home tomorrow so I can relax.

Who have you been touring with?

Silas Baxter-Neal, Rick Mcrank, Justin Eldridge and Danny Garcia.

Is there anywhere in particular where you are looking forward to visiting on the tour?

I was definitely looking forward to visiting the whole of Europe.

Is there a place in Europe you enjoyed most?

Germany was really amazing.

On a totally different subject Bobby Robert Worrest, who are your top 3 up and coming skateboarders?

Silas is amazing, errm, Raymond Molinar, (long pause) I cant really think of any more, I don’t know.

2’s fair, that’s good. What about your top 3 skaters of all time?

Julien Stranger, definitely Julien. Then I guess Peter Hewitt, Andrew Allen. Wait a minute I will put Andrew Allen as the third up and comer then I’m gonna say Alex Olson.

That is a fair choice. Right then Bobby Robert Worrest, can I ask you a few questions about Krooked and my all time favorite video Gnar Gnar?

Sure.

How long did it take you to film your epic Gnar Gnar section?

Ten days.

What that’s it?

Yeah that’s it.

Wow! Congratulations that’s amazing, I thought you where gonna say at least a few months. Were you happy how it turned out, were you stoked on how the video looked and everything?

I kinda wish I did better stuff, you know- some harder shit.

Well I thought the whole video was sick, your part was real good.

Thanks mate.

What’s the deal with the new Krooked flick (that I just can’t fucking wait to see) is it called Gnaughty or Baby Gnar?

I know it as Baby Gnar, its all being filmed on mini digicam cameras. Like on the filming mode of your digital camera.

That sounds sick, personally I am a promoter of lo-fi digicam clips, I love it. Have you started filming for it already?

Well the rest of the guys have been filming for a while but I haven’t been skating for a month or so. I did get a camera before I came on tour and I have filmed some stuff over the last few weeks.
