Mike Abarta / 23 / Just flow from the homies (R.I.P. Diabolical Skateboards) / Long Beach, California.
I heard that you use to live in a “skatehouse” with a shitload of people sleeping all over the place including the living room. Do you have any funny stories to share with us?
Way too many to name but one of my favorite ones is when we hired strippers for Sam Muller’s birthday. They showed up 3 hours late at like 2 am when everyone was hammered and they were hideous! One was fat and one was skinny but they were both nasty. So after giving Sam a very awkward birthday dance they got creeped out being surrounded by a bunch of wasted skater dudes. They tried to sneak out to their car with the cash and as they backed out of the driveway they crashed into the wall separating the two driveways and left behind a gross bottle of lube and a filthy bra. That was a great night at that place.
Don’t you get tired of having sweaty, stinky skaters all over your living room snoring and farting at night?
Haha sometimes. Its cool to always have people to skate with but it really sucks trying to share 1 bathroom with that many dudes.
