The CODA Team

Pat Smith

Really old and grumpy. I need help but am not willing to accept it. Lets see... a little background history on Pat Smith... currently 34 ride for CODA, Independent, Emerica, Pit Crew, Dakine bags flow and some other shit, maybe autobahn, or bones or something.

I helped build some the parks and stuff you seen in the nyc area. i don't like rockstars and hot crew. Been around a long time, first appearance in 411 in issue 9. Damn. Past sponsors include Real 5boro,coffee,13 colonies, the driven, 151, and wounded knee.

Lurker Lou

Where you from? My name full is Louis Micheal Sarowsky aka (lurker Lou) I ride for Coda and that's it I'm not naming any flo's or shops, sorry. I'm from Dennis Port, Massachussetts. It's a small little town on Cape Cod full of sketchy drug heads and backpack rappers and old people that are still alive in zombie mode.

Aparently we are better than Stereo because you kicked Renauds ass. are there any other companies we are better than now that you are on the team? We are deffinetly better than stereo, fuck that team. Bunch of fuckin sound agents there so lame they didn't want brian brown and then they put danny dirts ass on, stoops. Oh yeah and krooked, alien, habitat, lola, shut, and all those other capitalist cock suckers.

Also, what is up with all your roommates snorting your rent money and getting you kicked out? Dude i have no idea all these fags tried to call coke the new weed till thier boy wouldn't give them a bump. so they just blew all the money i gave them for rent so they could try to get laid. it just ends up that they just sit around till 9 am with four dudes talking and not listing. fuck rooomates i'm gonna fuck your couch next asshole!

Dave Mitchael

Awhile back i hurt my foot and got these crazy suppositories. Turns out its promethizine that you stick up your ass. You can pop'em open and swallow that shit. Within seconds your chasing the dragon in a opium den somewhere in china.Turn some metal on and you wake up out of a dream an hour later asking yourself how your pants got taken off. Fucking righteous times on the drug shreddage.What was this supposed to be about? Oh yeah if i was down with coda. You better put your garlic sweater on and prepare for death. Because once these boys get the syrup in 'em i can't control 'em

Jason Burton

Hmm how was i arrested - well it was friday night and groton holds these concerts on the beach. Everybody brings a 12 pack and gets rowdy by the end of the night. Real fun. So the shit ends, we all head to the park like usual. Late sesh is on- show up, my buddy Mark comes over with some weed lookin for a pipe. We smoke the shit in the parking lot 6 beers in when two unmarked vehicles and one undercover guy on foot are on us like flys on shit. Apparently the dude had been lurkin around watching the whole the thing. Im thrown against my car and cuffed. Meanwhile marks choking on spicy corn nuts and the police decide he must be trying to eat his weed so hes cuffed and thrown in the cruiser with me. Were off and back in an hour with a couple court dates- just in time to skate before the lights shut off. AWESOME

Inform the digital world about pit crew and what it means to you with the history of the team and someother bullshit.

Pit Crew started up in 1994. long before sb and the skurban market. OG team members around that time include sean mullendoere, pat smith, and jake rupp.. its sick to be apart of such a big family where everyone has your back. i got to skate with and become friends with some of the people who inspired me.

What happened at the end of the NC trip when Pat had a technical malfunction in DC?

Well i guess somewhere along the road back to DC conor's feet were relaxing a little to hard on pats dash and his grip tape may have scuffed the glove box door. pat was apparently upset by this so he bottled his rage and saved it for after we left the bar. i was the dd that cant drive a stick shift. but somehow i managed to cause enough burnouts to get us lost with. so we stop at a red light when pow! Pat bruce lee style punched connor in the face two times. then it was full on drunken UFC in the middle of the nations capital. it ended when conor almost got his finger bitten clean off. good thing no one knew about the giant root beer i accidently spilled all over the floor of the back seat. hah.

How do you feel about being a part or, apart from the sheer level of lowlifedness that most of the team partakes in?

Im hyped. everyone rips. its going to be good times.

Youji Watanabe
