Welcome to **Off Topic**, a new series where we ask bladers to share clips and answer a bunch of intrusive questions to find out more about what they’re up to and how they spend their time off skates. This time we’re clocking in with Pacific Northwest rager Alex Sams.
* * * *
What are you listening to right now?
The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Patsy Cline, Timber Timbre, the list goes on, a lot of sad girl music.
Got a slam clip we can share?
How about a clip no one has seen?
Any interesting Instagram accounts to follow?
@Kevinbaekkel one of my favorite skaters & biggest influences. Shit’s inspiring.
How about a book recommendation?
Sadly, I’m not much of a reader, 1984, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Kurt Vonnegut books, On The Road, Anthony Bourdain anything.
Fav pics in your camera roll?
Dustin Spengler with a massive forward 7 shot on my point & shoot for Chance of Rain, & a couple recent memories from our Sea Sick premiere/trip to Wenatchee, always the best times with the boys.
Best Youtube rabbit holes?
I’m usually deep diving on skate videos, love rough cuts on Thrasher, love train hopping videos, or hitchhiking across the country type shit. “Thumbs Up” was my favorite Vice series where David Choe hitchhikes across America and interviews people he meets along the way. Huge on Anthony Bourdain travel stuff as well.
Show us your search history?
Something that gets you hyped?
Mainly my good homies who I skate with everyday. Pushing myself & working on video parts wih the boys.
[The END]
