*25:00 - The discussion turns toward aging as a skater. Gokey hopes that he will be at the same skill level as Guenter, when he gets to that age. Guenter is in his late 40's at the time of this recording, about the same as Bob.

**27:44 - Matt read an article recently where it said that skating too much can be bad.

**28:33 - Matt still learns new things all the time. As an example, he saw [[Stefan "Lillis" Akesson]] do a [[1.5 finger flip to handed 50/50]]. Lillis made it look so much fun that he really wanted to learn it.

*28:59 - Matt claims that he will beat Lillis' world record for the [[One-Wheeled Wheelie]]. Lillis' record is 68 meters and 54 centimeters. Tony said, "He wants to do over 9000". Bob has no idea what they are talking about. (Note: This is a reference to Dragon Ball Z Episode 28 "Goku's Arrival". After Goku powers up, Nappa asks Vegeta what Goku's power level is, according to the scouter, at which point, Vegeta says"It's over 9,000!," and then crushes his scouter. On another note: The number 9,000 in in the English dub is actually incorrect as the original Japanese version says the power level is "8,000" and not 9,000. This line has been corrected in the "Dragon Ball Z Kai" TV broadcast version.)

*30:54 - The group now changes the subject to avoid any more unnecessary awkwardness. Bob reads off a list of possible topics. 1.) The skateboard has wheels, use them 2.) Setup Tips 3.) Recognition in freestyle, why do we want it. Matt and Tony choose to discuss wheels and rolling. Let the mocking of stationary freestyle begin.

*35:39 - Discussion on the ubiquity of poorly executed tricks found on YouTube and such.  Catching a 50/50 on the corner of a blunt tail, instead of flat, bugs the hell out of Matt. Tony and Bob think that is so picky, of all things. Bob thinks some slack should be cut for kids having fun on YouTube. Tony thinks you should just enjoy the skating and shouldn't have a need to film anything. We're at this point where everyone is filming anything, good or bad. It makes Tony feel cold and jaded inside. Matt enjoys more the creativity of filming choreographed to music, with slow-mo and such to make it look fun. It wasn't so much about "check out my badass tricks". Matt quotes [[Russ Howell]], who said '''"It's not about who you can blow over with your skating, it's who you can lift up."''' Matt always tries to remember that when he films. Matt doesn't really film anymore because of a lack of a good camera or cameraman.

**38:24 - Bob brings up the point that the freestyle community is so dispersed that if you don't film, there would be a loss of communication. That is how we interact due to our circumstances.

**38:38 - Talk about Adam Colton and Adam Stokowski from [[Loaded Boards]] (http://loadedboards.com/). http://whoisadamcolton.com/bio/. They produce great videos such as the Adam and Adam videos. In the first videos they were riding 60" homemade boards and basically doing freestyle, in Bob's opinion. Decide for yourself:

*39:47 - How do you define freestyle? [[Kilian Martin]] is a fantastic freestyle, but most of his videos incorporate obstacles or street elements.  It is Tony's opinion that as soon as you introduce an obstacle, or take away the flat surface, it isn't really freestyle anymore. Street evolved as a way to take freestyle tricks onto obstacles. That is a clear delineation.
