May 22nd, 2009 at 1:52 pm
Hey Matt and Jake,
As skaters, how do you both feel about making videos for a sponsor that releases it’s videos for free on the web? Does this have any impact on Globe’s skaters, or is it not a big deal for you guys?
You both rip, and Jake, keep shreddin for all the homeboys, present and past.
May 22nd, 2009 at 2:17 pm

Matt and Jake who do yall think will have the sickest part in the new United By Fate video?
And Matt when is $lave going to be filming for a video?
May 22nd, 2009 at 8:55 pm
I've been skating on and off for about 2 years, but now im determined to get good and I'm skating about 3-4 hours every day. Do you guys fall alot? (because i know i do) how many takes do you guys have to do before you land something just right?
May 22nd, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Hey where did you guys find motivation and time to really progress in skating?
May 22nd, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Skateboarding is currently under review by the International Olympic Committee to be introduced in the 2012 London Games, in pipe first, of course, but most likely soon to be followed with mega ramp, street, etc, probably like the Maloof Cup.
You guys seem to fit into a category all your own of raw, concrete authentic street, bowl and park skating. It's just apparent in the way you skate and your demeanor on camera.
Of course this will mean more money and sponsorship opportunities for pros who shred, a very good thing, but at the same time jeopardizes our integrity.
–What are your thoughts on the olympic possiblity and these new types of contest organization?? (eg. the good ones, maloof cup, lord of lines, manny mania- and the potentially bad ones eg. right guard open, x games, olympics)
May 22nd, 2009 at 9:00 pm
when was the first time you both met?
May 22nd, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Does either of you have a shoe in the works? if so when will they be out?!

ive yet to see your blind part, are you happy with it? i know you were juggling with injurys and you have put out 2 parts before hand in past 2 years, does it get stressful towards deadlines?
will shane be having anymore tricks in the united by fate episodes, or will his be going towards the upcoming flip video?
mumford i saw your indy ad, the boneless over the channel, what happend to modus?
while we are on the topic, what happend with chad and him leaving globe?
props to the both of you for mixing up your skating with street and tranny, it makes a part more entertaining.

yes all aussies do
May 25th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
theys chills
May 25th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Dude its obvious he got off skateboarding so quick due to the fact he beat Reynolds' ass while he(Reynolds) was drunk as fuck, i saw that 2 years ago on youtube and never saw it again. After that, he lost all his sponsors, thats what i believe.
May 25th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
Why is skating tranny so much more fun than street?
May 26th, 2009 at 1:08 am
jake, where do you get your hawain shirts from? is there a certain process a hawain shirt must go through for you to buy it or is your selection all inclusive? and how do you know if you've found one worth buying?
May 26th, 2009 at 1:58 am

May 26th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Question for Matt: People say your UBF part is your best ever. Do you agree or do you have another favourite?
