Hello, what's up? How's it? Oh, good day. Good day. Good day. Good day. What are they saying? Canada? Hello. Oh, hello. I'm like that. Oh, hello. I'm sorry.

I'm not Canadian anymore. Come case here. Yeah, half Canadian. Is that what it is now? You refer to yourself as a half. I don't refer to myself as that, but I mean, I feel I feel American and I will always be Canadian. Right. Yep. Me too. Yeah. I mean, not Canadian. And you can never win, right? Because you go to Australia. You're an American and here you're an Australian. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but he suffers through the accent thing because they think he sounds like an American. We think he sounds Australia. So he's just. Do you ever hear him?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. You do. So it's if you get. No, no, I do. Absolutely. Oh, okay. When I say sorry, I'm so sorry. Yeah. Super Canadian. Yeah. I wanted to house. Yeah. They got a weird house thing. But they say couch. Coach. Or do you say Chesterfield? I say couch. But the box of Chesterfield is in my vernacular. Yeah. I heard that from a Canadian one. So I was like, what? What did you say? It's a couch. It's a brand name, right? Oh, I don't know.

That's a, that's a good question. Like, I don't really know either. But I heard someone say that once. And I was like, what? Chesterfield or man? That's a good question. Someone said Serbia. That was a UK though. It's a survey. So much of Canadian vernacular is like comes from England. Okay. You know, yeah. Serbia is an African. Yeah. We do that. Oh, you say that. I used to make fun of my. The last time I, this is the last thing I ever, uh, took shit of my little brother about before he passed away where he goes, passed a survey at.

What? Yeah. And he goes to Serbia. And I'm like, and I'm in Australia. So I'm like, this guy's colder to Serbia. And everyone in the room is like, yeah. Yeah. I didn't work at all. Well, glad we established that. Yeah. Uh, Colin, welcome. Thanks for telling me guys. I honestly was coming here thinking I was on just the Json Ellis podcast, but turns out I'm on offer versus wolf. I'm honored. It's an upgrade. It is. Unfortunately. Unfortunately. I mean, I love you, Dave.

It's fine. I wish the Json Ellis show was like, whoa. It's kind of like, all right. Well, good luck, Ross. Yeah. Go. Go. I did this. Oh, my gosh. You guys have been friends for a long time. Uh, I've known Colin since he was very young. I've actually known you longer than. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When was the first time you two met? I would have been, I think, 13 probably. Well, you may be.

On 13. And I like, I was on power, but not like on slow kind of, like, you know, just some like Kevin Harris is kind of under. He was the, he was the prodigy at the Richmond skate race of his Kevin Harris, the end of his skate park. Right. Yeah. So Tony came up. Like, and when I think back, I like, you know, I think about this. Like, Tony comes to our little skate park to do a demo for us. Like just like, you know, everything this guy probably has gone on his life and finding the time to come to Canada.

To do a one man demo for one just you. Oh, maybe Stobb was there to back them up. Like road dog, but he definitely came on. It would have probably been that one you might have been just, you know, I might have been Ray underhealing me. Right. Right. Yeah. Just to hold it down for like 200 kids. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. That's right. Well, underhill killed mini ramps. So, yeah. Ray was one of my faves dude. Like, you know, it's like, when you're a young kid, just meeting a person

with a pro, the guy's ever prod son, I'll never forget before we met when in 1986 at the sealant bowl contest that happened with the expo contest. Dave Hackett was sitting behind me, like, just sitting on the ground. He's like, he's like a kid. And he had like a giant thrash or sticker in his helmet. He blessed me with it. And I was just like, Dave Hackett. It's my guy. That's pretty. Yeah. Yeah. That is. I would think the same thing too. Hackett gave you a sticker. I'm like, no way. I could recognize me.

So to that point, Ray was like, I mean aside from being like one of the nicest guys ever. Right. And like, just so supportive I felt there's a little guy, like the way he treated us on the ramp. But like, Ray was also one of my favorite dudes just from him, showing up there and skating with us. So then Birdman shows up at a demo with those two. And then he, you guys talk because he's like, whatever kind of conversation. You

He tried to be like, hey, he was on the ramp, for sure.

Skating, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And it was like, oh, this guy, like, and I saw,

I think when I first saw Colin Skate,

I identified with him too, because he was small like I was,

and he was doing tricks that were more like lean towards

the stuff that I was doing back then.

And I was like, oh, this guy,

and I could just tell that he had it.

Right.
