Grover’s Video Korner #9: Argentinan Refuges.
Hello fans here’s an oldie the first interview I ever did (January 2004). See if you can find the mistakes, and when you do, go stuff it bitches. Art and Steve Godoy are still putting out skateboards with Factory 13. It was a pretty big deal for me to interview these guys. 20 years ago they were two guys in a magazine untouchable for a kid in Michigan. Fast forward 20 years. Post-meeting and interviewing them I realized they are just like me – skaters, just better. I feel the industry overlooked these guys. They were just to punk for the Tony Hawk and Ken Park era. Check out the H-Street video, and you will realize it was not skills that held these guys back. It was there inability to play the game of press darlings. When you see them next, just ask about Dave Swift’s old girlfriend at the Del-mar contest.

So matter of fact…so great to listen to. They were the best interviewees in that tattoo movie.
Funny to see Eugene getting that little tiny maple leaf tattoo.
…did they ever respond to my question of “did you ever get a tatoo you wish you wouldn’t have?” ie. Adam and the Ants Rules…
That was a great edition of GVK. It was weird though, those two guys look so much alike. keep up the good work.
