In the Know: Brandon Smith

***Stuff*** · 19.04.2009, 03:26

Brandon is what he wants to be at the time. Some days he's a gifted skater shredding everything in sight, other days he's behind the lens shooting some of the industry's best photos. Then maybe sometimes he decides to rejoin the pro game and start winning contests and becoming Valo's new pro. Some days he decides to be Julio's right hand man and head up the business at Them Goods. Other days he's working magic behind a video camera. Some days he's quiet and laid back, and other days he is good buddies with Jack and inventing new dance moves. Today however, he's answering all the questions you've been waiting to ask him. This is the Brandon Smith In The Know.

Do you like burgers? What's your favorite kind of burger?

**ift** · 19.04.2009, 09:42

you kind of dropped out of the scene for a while, akin to a bluesman woodsheding. what were you doing between the dyna video and the first time you got a free pair of valos?

will you ever make a park edit like that sturgess/stockwell 8 min jam?

do you think everyone has the capabilities of developing good style?

I can watch a thousand disaster 450 back royales but at some point it seems like those huck yourself guys forgot to develop their style. or maybe there is no hope for people like thatcyril daniels. . .

would you prefer an 8 dollar breet or a 3 dollar reet?
is jameteq ever going to hit mainstream?

**Teh Nap** · 19.04.2009, 12:10

How have you stayed so good for so long? The first video I ever owned happened to be the 8th wonder and you were still destroying back then. And my second question is do you still have that sweet old navy shirt?

**Bassimastprime** · 19.04.2009, 12:41

do you love maryjuana as much as i do?

tomorrow is 420, are you gonna get higher than i am because you can smoke california nuggs?

Odd question but I always wondered how you felt about Mr. Roboto being used in your first Dyna section, was it supposed to be a joke or were you even aware it was going to be used? You've always had the smooth style, odd that it's taken so long for people to start digging it.

Name your top 5 influences as a youngster, can't include anyone riding for any company currently. (in other words, no Julio!)

**Mudhut Jollyrancher** · 19.04.2009, 15:50

do you ever smile?

**Mr. T** · 19.04.2009, 16:12

I love you.

Wait... That's not a question.

I guess as a prelude to Ian's question... Why did you drop out of the scene in the first place? Did you actually quit skating in that time, or were you just not filming/marketing yourself?

However, I will say, whatever the answer/reason... It doesn't change the fact that right now you are in the middle of one of the greatest comebacks in blading history.

PROPS.
