The Skate All Cities Krew has been lucky enough to interview, in my opinion, one of the most consistent, well-rounded bombers coming out of Los Angeles, California. His name is CAB and if you have been paying attention while painting in the LA river within the past couple of years, then I can guarantee that you could not pass 300 feet of that area without seeing at least one CAB throwup. We interviewed him via email on what he’s been up to lately and where he’s headed. – RICKS
SAC: What do you write?
CAB: CAB
SAC: What crews do you push and what are their underlying meanings?
CAB: Lokes On Dope (LOD), Known To Succeed (K2S)
SAC: How did you come up with your name and what’s the meaning behind it?
CAB: CAB was given to me. It was either CAB or GUNER. I liked it because it was short and perfect. The idea was to bomb and get up as much as possible. Like a race to the finish line and nothing was gonna get in my way of doing it.
SAC: When did you start and how did you get into the graf game?
CAB: I started early on in the mid to late 80s. Got up and going around 88-89 and so on. Graffiti has always been a part of my life living in the ghetto. The gang “PLACASOS” was the first thing I saw up on the walls of my neighborhood until the mid 80′s when Beat Street came out. It heavily influenced my brother and I. My brother was a bad ass breaker and I was amazed by the graffiti aspect of the culture in the movie. Right then and there I knew that was what I wanted to do. Been doing it on and off ever since. It has taken me far on a personal level as well as accomplishing a lot of personal goals in my life.
