BLADE LIFE: An Interview with Jeph Howard

Jeph Howard

Starting with the obvious questions, who is Jeph Howard, where does he call home, and what is he doing as we speak? (well, type rather)?

Well, he is a 25-year-old, really awesome dude, who works at a dope pizza shop called Punch Pizza. I currently live in St. Paul, Minnesota with Michael Garlinghouse, and I am waiting in my living room for a box of ONE magazines to arrive for the next “Day with Brett and Jeph” edit. Ha, ha.

You recently toured the midwest with Brett Dasovic, John Bolino and a crew of sorts, filming for “TML 2”; why don’t you tell us a little bit about that whole experience?

Best time of my life, no joke. Other than when the RV broke down, obviously, but we still went out skating and had a blast, no matter what the outcome was because of how good of friends we are, and how much we have fun on a regular basis. We were able to motivate each other so hard when it came to the skating, and when it came to partying… well, we had an RV. It was fucking amazing.

I just finished watching your “TML 2” section at the shop and I was pretty impressed. When you film for a new video, what do you try to do to make your sections different from previous ones?

As of right now I am trying to find the more crazy creative stuff. Things people are like, “that shit is not possible,” or they don’t even see it because it’s too deadly or scary to them. We have already been looking for stuff for the next video and it’s going to be doppio for sure. Big shit. Hiddin shit. On top of that we have the best crew around, and we can motivate each other to do anything. My friends and crew here in Minnesota are half the reason I do the shit I do. It just feels good to have friends who get as pumped as you do about blading.

Where does Jeph Howard fit into the whole “Death of B Unique” conspiracy?

Hmmm, well… I am not really sure what to say about that. I will always have love for Chris and Courtney, and they helped me through shit that no one else was there for. But I mean, as far as I know… the company is on hold. As far as I know, I still rock their clothes, but I don’t think I ride for the company because I think it’s just done…

    Great interview on a great skater and great person all around. Jeph is the man, he is one of the last of a dying breed of skaters that make you go “WTF did he just do” or “How the hell did he do that without dying”. Much love and respect to Jeph Joward!

  • BJBales - January 11th, 2010
