So what’s your name and how many years have you been alive?
Ramiro Salcedo, I’m 20.
And where on planet earth do you live?
Inglewood, CA.
What’s it like over there?
Where I live its nice, but it’s still the hood.

I heard you got jumped for you TK hoodie over there?
Hell yeah. I was riding my bike over to Cricket’s house to go skate, then these two fools jumped out of a car and tackled me. They were like “check in the Hood”, but I got away and ran off. They got my bike though, trashed it, and kicked in the spokes and stuff. I had to buy new tires, ha ha.

When you’re not in the hood you’re pretty much lurking at Cricket’s and Simi Mike’s house right?
Yeah it’s cool.
Do you have to listen to filmers nerd out and talk about skate footage all day?
Yeah, it’s all I hear. A lot of madness goes down there. Madness, the Bush, and boxing video games on the first Xbox. We’ve all been playing that, my characters name is Furbo.
Who’s winning the boxing games?
It’s pretty even.
So you’ve been known to get in some street soccer games? Is that where you get your pop from?
Yeah the parks by my house, they got legit soccer leagues and stuff, but I just play some games, its fun.
What’s a typical day in the life of Furbz?
Wake up, shower, get crispy, eat, hit the bush and then go skate.
What if you don’t go skate though? What do you get into?
I’ll just go kick it at The Dirty, the Hawthorne skatepark. During the school year it didn’t open til’ like three cause kids would skip school, but now that’s it summer its open all day. Don’t have to wear pads or nothing because the cops don’t give a fuck down there.
Didn’t some basketball players get shot there or something?
Nah, some bmxrs did.

Did you shoot em?
Nah! Some gangsters did. It gets crazy over there sometimes.
How does your grandpa feel about you not having a job and sleeping till 12 everyday?
He’s over it! So my grandma’s got me doing chores like yard work, empty the trash, and clean the house. I might get a job someday.
You used to work at some chemical factory or something?
Oh, this crazy chemical resin warehouse. I almost died there. I accidentally spilled some gnarly chemicals; it was like a mini LA river in the warehouse. That’s why I don’t work there no more, ha ha.
You’re better off killing yourself on a skateboard, huh?
Yeah.
What are you’re plans for the future.
I’m just gonna skate, film, kick it with the homies.
How you want to end this?
Just want to thank KR3W, Supra, Baker, Venture, and Bones for flowing me some goods to keep me skating, or else I’d still be on the strug everyday.
