Andy Garrett Interview
You were over in New Zealand while Dom was there back in 2005. We're hearing from everyone that goes there that it's amazing and is a life changing experience. Agree?
Totally - it is very sport-orientated in NZ and there's pretty much a
skate park in every town you go to.
Any plans to do any more travelling?
I would love to do another snowboarding season in Europe and it would be great to go on a Streetboarding world tour!
You introduced us to do the wonders of the flaming sambucca. Any other drinks we should try?
The Garrett Gas Chamber!
Put sambuca into a brandy glass. Light it on fire and let it burn for
a few seconds. Extinguish and quickly pour sambuca into a shot glass and
keep the fumes in the brandy glass (with your hand, beermat, etc). Quickly
take the shot. Get a straw and inhale the fumes from the brandy glass!!
Speed is most important so you don't lose the fumes! Take the shot before
you inhale as you may not be able to after the fumes!
Some quickfires for ya:
Favourite memory: Pulling the first ever
Misty 720 at the 1999 UK Championships in Bristol.
Favourite Movie: So many to choose from -
action/thrillers like Predator, T2.
Favourite Band: Dance/HipHop - i.e Chemical
Brothers/ Underworld.
Any words of wisdom for anybody either about to
start Streetboarding, or has just started?
Keep at it - one trick will lead to another and you will just naturally
get better
What would you like to accomplish in the future
with skating?
Landing the double backflip at the 2008 Worlds!
Any last words?
Streetboarding is a unique and fun extreme sport which anyone can enjoy.
I've been skating for 11years and I'm still not bored of it because you
find that you are always learning new tricks.
No pain, no gain!
