Who do you think is doing things right in the blade game right now? Who’s on top of their ish?
Minnesota and Kansas City. I am not motivated by competition skating. Our scene and their scene are the only two crews I see doing things right as far as skating simply because it’s what we love to do. We need to just join forces.
Bagels or donuts? Why?
Bagels for sure. Michael brings home a shit-ton of bagels all the time from his job. We have bagel sandwiches for days. Donuts can be too much. I do love cake donuts though.
What’s better at the end of the day, a cold brew or a hot shower?
A cold brew in a hot shower. Seriously, nothing better. Just stand in the hot shower and enjoy that shit.
You’ve been involved in our industry for a long time, you know all of the hoopla, and what it means to be a pro rollerblader. Knowing what you do now, what keeps you motivated to keep skating?
Like I have said, my friends here in Minnesota. We simply have so much fun skating that it makes me want to just do badass shit because we all get so pumped from each other’s blading. I have almost given up on the whole industry. It’s all a joke to me. Fools acting like they’re exclusive and shit. I just simply love to blade.
How did you look at skating differently at a time, say, back in the days when you were winning comps like IMYTA L.A. and filming for videos like “Thrill” to now in the present day?
I look at it like “I don’t care about competitions no more.” I simply like blading here in Minnesota with my friends. I love going to comps, and hanging out, and having a good time with all my friends from all over. I will compete, but it’s more to just have a good time. I love filming more and more each time. I love seeing how my skating has changed, and I love to see what all the little idiots have to say on Rollernews. Makes me laugh.
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!
Jeph,
Your TML2 section is incredible. Your response to Ben’s question about The Used is even better. Come blade in Iowa soon.
“we simply have so much fun skating” “i just simply love to blade”

Really good interview. ” A cold brew in a hot shower. Seriously, nothing better. Just stand in the hot shower and enjoy that shit. ” -love it:)-

Sick interview Jeff. Tons of respect, of course. These tricks are out of control.
“If I ever meet him or see him, I am going to punch him right in the throat and tell him I am the real Jeph Howard, and that his music fucking sucks.”
