Question for Dirty Al
Lib Skate Krafstmen/Team Rider loves to skate, esp. on his breaks at work like these old pallets.
Hey Dirty why do you like Lib Tech Skateboards?
Back in like 98-99 I started seeing all these ads for bulletproof boards or metal boards or aluminum decks with wood tips, all of this crazy shit, unfortunately, they all sucked and didn't feel good and most were a complete waste of time. I knew about lib snowboards already and when I started seeing their adds for vertically laminated decks with fiber reinforcement materials, I took notice. These dudes already knew how to use these materials, so I gave one a try and was hooked. My first LIB skate lasted well over a month and I handed it down to a kid at the park. I'm sure that he rocked it for awhile after that. I was moving to Seattle at the time and went straight to work building these amazing skateboards. I've been doing exactly that for the last six years. I put a little magic in every board that I make.

Interview: Shag-Lib Skate Kraftsmen
Whats the most skateboards you made in a day?
Dirty Al is the one who makes them. I give them shapes, do the dirty work, and make them look pretty. I have, however, finished 90 one time when Jim didn't show up for work.
How many people work with you in your department? ONE.
How many cups of coffee do you drink a day?
78. That's pots, buddy.
How many times do you poop a day?
Why don't you ask Dirty Al? He's in the stall next to me.
Whats your favorite song to Karaoke?
The one that isn't in the book.
How many J-Pop songs do you know by heart?
It doesn't matter, because people here think J-pop is the latest skate construction, or the team manager.
Can you eat and finish skateboards at the same time?
I can do it better than Trevor can spell. I've corrected his grammar three times now.
Why do you like finishing skateboards so much?
Because it's better than finishing out snowboards...plus, I love skateboarding and will do it until I'm dead.
Why do you skate sea-skate so much?
Because it's on the way home, and the freaks come out at night.
What kind of car do you drive?
Thanks for reminding me. I drive your sister.
Who's your favorite comedian?
Everyone here is pretty funny...especially with all the things they want me to do for them. But I gotta go with Big Pimpin'...he can burn you like arson.
You're also part of the Lib Skate research and development team. Anything to say about that?
It is fun to come up with the names for the new tech, though. We put a lot of love in our new construction...
How much do you love working at Lib Tech?
I show up every day but Sunday...just cause I've got church.
Are you religious, then?
About not working on Sundays.
What do you think of the people you work with?
It's funny to listen to those softies whine about a little extra effort.
Who are your favorite skaters?
Aaron Deeter, Tom Peha, and I like to give Dirty Dan a hard time 24/7.
What's your favorite trick?
Larry's mom.
What's your favorite part of the workday?
Throwing tape balls at whoever is passing by...I'm very accurate, and may hurt somebody. What do you mean OSHA? Their music ROCKS!!
What does the future hold for you?
Maybe getting laid.

BMX Jones
Justin Inman
Ex Kraftsmen Kurtis "too tall" Jones and a handful of BMX pros stopped by the PA factory on Monday. The visit turned out to be a "Rad Ramp" photo session for Ride Magazine. Members of the "Northwest Crew" sessioned the whole weekend at a secret Port Angeles loctation called The Black Diamond Trails. The trails are well known in the BMX world as the best trails in Washington State. Check Ride Mag in a next issue for the NWC images........stantech
