Best gift I've ever received has to be a bike when I was younger, a pedal bike.

It was a sort of slick little road bike and I remember it was all like, it was so, it was all wrapped up,

it was so obvious what it was obviously because nothing's shaped like a bike and I had a little ribbon on it and I was so

a guest. For that was a life changer and I'm still sort of big on cycling around my area now so, for that one change me a little.

Enjoy in every sip with red cups now, back at Starbucks.

Well, we are back, we're back at the 9 Club everybody today. We have a very special, special.

Special guest Mr. Dave Swift is with us. How are you? Doing well. Doing well.

I'm a complain. Hey, look good. Thank you. Yeah. I like that shirt. Ready to deliver. Everybody hates Pepsi but.

I think there's Pepsi and there's Coke people. I was a Coke people. Now you're Pepsi. I was Coke and Smokes.

Now you're Pepsi and cigar. What's going on? Lever pays the bills. Pepsi wants me to deliver. I'm on it.

That's it. Yeah. Okay. What was it? Oh, it was a Coke spot. I'm thinking of you know that flat rail out there.

It's right in front of the Coke place. Where's it? Oh, up in the valley. Yeah. Unlike Norwalk. Norwalk. Oh, the red one.

The red one. Yeah. Yeah. I'm from San Diego. I don't know. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Did you grow up in ocean side? Or are you? I grew up in San Diego and North County. So.

Yeah. Yeah. So Rancher Bernardo was the town. Then did you just start? You started skating out there. Obviously. We've noticed you have some trophies here that you.

Graciously brought to us. One was a showing off second half second half winner. That's right. The third third place. I killed him. You can. Did his legs in. Yeah. And I got second half. So.

Was this a big per castle contest? That was the first year of castle actually. So. Oh wow. 82 was the first year of castle. I did not realize that.

It was my first year of skating contest was 1981. And that was Aspo, which was association of skate parks. Bad. I don't know. Okay. So there was, you know, all these skate parks. And like as a kid,

you just wanted to go to these skate parks that you saw in the magazine. I'm going to Whittier. I'm going to Upland and this and this is getting contest. But you get there.

There's 90 other people skating in this country. Like fuck. And. But it was fun because I got to meet a lot of rad people and got to skate these parks. The next year, there was only three parks.

That's it. So it went from 12 or 14 parks to three, which is Delmar.

Whittier and Upland, I think. We're talking about 82 to 83. 81 to 82. 81 to 82. That was like the big crash of like skate boring. Why did they take down all the parks?
