The Best Joe Sexton Interview EVER!
Posted On Dec 14 2008, 10:00 PM by drouleau

Note from Push.ca: David Roleau conducted this interview with Joe Sexton in the summer at the Camp of Champions. Not only did the interview not have a proper introduction (hence this explanatory note), but it was about a rollerblading/Dipset video on Youtube, and Sexton's hypothetical final day of snowboarding. Weird, right? But also oddly entertaining... Or at least we thought so. Read on and judge for yourself.

Tell me about your favorite Youtube video right now.

Joe: Dipset rollerblading.

[laughs] Is that all I have to type in?

Joe: Yeah, I can't believe you haven't seen it before. You walked right into that... I know you been feeling Cam'ron and Dipset lately!

Yeah, I know... [laughs] But it's like, every time I turn around there are a million Youtube videos that someone can't believe I haven't seen. I'm new to the Dipset scene... How long have you been jamming on that shit?

Joe: Cam'ron Dipset?...

Yeah...

Joe: And the rollerblading? [laughs] A couple of years.

Oh yeah, so you'd been jamming them for a bit? Well what happened when...

Joe: I saw it? [laughs] I was heartbroken!

Oh, so it's for real? It's serious?

Joe: Yeah, it's serious... You don't think I'm making it up, do you?

Well, I don't know...

Joe: Okay, see JP [Walker] asked me the same question. We were hanging out, listening to some track and he's, like, "Dude, do you like Cam'ron and those dudes?" And I was like, "Yeah, they're cool." And he said, "You know they're rollerbladers?" [laughs] And I was like, "What do you mean?" But we were somewhere where we couldn't find a computer... [laughs uncontrollably]

So what is it?

Joe: Oh, you really haven't seen it? [laughs]

No!

Joe: It's like a dude rollerblading backwards and then smokes weed. [laughs] He does a back wards crossover and then takes a hit... It's so funny. And Mike Jones is all up in there.

What does Mike Jones have to say?

Joe: Oh, he's all for it. He says it helps him get away from the cops faster.

Sweet. I like that "Wet Wipes" song ‘cause Lizard King used it in the Deathwish promo video. Do you think those guys, the Deathwish guys, know?

Joe: That they rollerblade? Probably not.

But does it really matter?

Joe: No... But I guess it lowers their street cred. [laughs]

Suddenly a kid walks up to Joe and asks to get a photo taken with him.

Kid: Can I get a picture?

Do you want to sit here?

Dave points next to himself, implying that the kid wants his photo taken with Dave, not with Joe.

Kid: Sure. [Sounding shy and confused.]

Joe: Who do you want a picture with?

Do you want a picture with me? ‘Cause I'm only around for a little bit!

Dave moves and lets the kid sit with Joe, and then asks the kid a question.

Hey, if you had one question to ask Joe Sexton, what would it be? Now think about it for a bit...

Kid: Uhm... how did you get your start?

No, that's a stupid question.

Joe: No, that's a good question. Do you want the answer?

Kid: Yeah.

Joe: I got my start by not making a sponsor-me tape, and just snowboarding every day. And then I got noticed at a local contest and that was it.

Dave notices the kid has a friend with him, and asks him a question.

What would your one question be for Joe Sexton?

Kid #2: Uhm, I have no idea... Help me out here, dude. [turns to his friend] Well, I was gonna ask how he got started, but...

Why not ask how he'll get his end?

Kid #2: His end?

Well, he wanted to know how Joe got his start. Why don't you ask him how it's going to end?

Kid #2: All right. When do you think you'll be done snowboarding?

Joe: I'll be done snowboarding never, but I'll probably not be sponsored in the next month.

Kid #2: Really?

Joe: Because I'm gonna get cut... by everybody. [laughs]

Kid #2: Ouch.

Joe: But I'll snowboard forever, man... You can never end snowboarding.

It's kind of a big picture question.

Kid #2: You could die a brutal, horrible death and then you wouldn't be snowboarding any more.

Kid #1: Yeah, you could be dropping some 300 foot cliff that you didn't see. [laughs]

Joe: Yeah, let's go with that. I'll say that. I'll say I was dropping a 300 foot cliff I didn't see. [laughs] Go out in a blaze of glory!

This is currently the best interview ever.

The most common mistake that people associate with having an agent is that they cost money. To be honest

Ashbury Eyewear has the most well kempt blog in snowboarding. True, this is personal preference and grammatically
