What you up to Bobby?

Right this very moment? Watching Uriah Heep video's on youtube.

I read somewhere that Uriah Heep has been referred to as "the Beach Boys of Heavy Metal." Any validity to that?

I suppose due to their ability to harmonize. Any validity? Sure, why not.

What was your first Venture ad? And do you remember what year it was?

I think it was 96? 97? It was when I was on Stereo, cause I had a Stereo hoodie on. I was ollieing(?) off this sidewalk bump that was created by a fallen tree. I remember it was mildly difficult to ollie off. Shot by Tobin.

Your most recent ad was a bs nosegrind on a spot thats right in the middle of an intersection. What's up with that spot? I heard that you made some repairs to it in order to make it skateable.

It's been there for a long time. There was a little gap in it and it just needed to be filled in.
I took the initiative to fill it in. Others followed.
