 |
I wasn't to sure about interviewing this fella because, well lets face it, he's a biker and they're well fucking crazy. He turned out to be as gentle as a lamb.

50-50 : have you ever torn your nutsack on your handlebars?
Rick Throne : Well i didn't necessarily tear my nut sack but my chain broke once in san jose back in '92, i wracked myself right on my stem and tore my urethra, i had to wear a piss bag for a whole month, it was gnarly.
50-50 : Who gets more chicks, skaters or bmx'ers or girls who bmx.
RT : oh i don't know, it's kind of hard to say... Skaters get a lot of girls but there's a lot of skaters, as for me i have no problem getting chicks; oh in fact you name it, guys, chicks, animals, penis pumps, all that shit. Oh actually i'm teasing about guys, i'm not into guys.
 50-50 : Have you ever thought of giving up the bmx and taking up a pussy sport like skateboarding?
RT : Well the thing about skateboarding is, well, they're on four wheels i'm on two, and basically a skateboard is easier to carry through the mall... nah, nah, i'm just teasing, skateboarding is RAD, and you better put that in there 'cuz i know many a bro skater will hate me now.
50-50 : would you be more popular in Mexico if you bmx'ed on lowrider bicycles.
RT : I would be the shit, i'd be the first to do a bar spin on a lowrider. Plus if i fueled up on a few POWERBARS i'd be all spastic on the halfpipe.
50-50 : oh so you ride for powerbars?
RT : Yeah i'm down with POWERBARS, you've got to hook that up in the interview [ed: he gets paid each time the 'P' word is published].
50-50 : What's with the elvis look? is it recent or have you always been down with the king ?
RT : Gee i grew up with elvis presley, apple pie and chevrolet. I'm just a white trash boy from the midwest. But eh elvis is rad, when your hair starts receding the best thing to do is slick it back and it's cool.
50-50 : Are you a real grease monkey? Have you got any nice cars?
RT : Actually i'm looking at a 1953 buick roadmaster, chopped, lowered fuckin' dope ass car and of coarse black.
50-50 : Chick magnet?
RT : Oh girls come and go but there'll always be my car.
