Bio:
The skateboard world most likely came to know Lindsey Robertson when he ollied off of the vert ramp at the Skate Park of Tampa during his run in the Am 2001. The stunt seemed ridiculous to even attempt for a virtual unknown from Miami, proved how hungry the ams were getting in that era, and only served to foreshadow what Lindsey's contribution to skateboarding would be in the years to come-taking things bigger. To name it all trick by trick would take too long, but Lindsey's debut part in Zero's "Dying to Live" and heelflip (and almost backside heelflip) down the Wallenberg 4 are testaments to the larger than life maneuvers that Lindsey makes a reality. Hand selected by Jamie Thomas and now pro for Mystery Skateboards, "the Juice" has much more in store for skateboarding, you can count on it.
What brings you to DC?
Today? I'm testing the new Gallant's out, then I'm going to rip Jimmy in a game of SKATE. It's my daily thing. You'll catch me at DC anyday between 10 AM and 2 PM.
Are you going to go skate today?
No, I'm going to go skate this weekend in San Diego.
What type of stuff have you been trying to skate lately?
Mostly big. That's my focus. It's hard to find good stuff to skate. A lot of the stuff around here is either stuff from back in the day that you have to try something new on, or a lot of the good spots are gone.
Where do you think you're going to have to go to get those spots you need?
Europe or Russia. Russia has got to be the next spot.
Didn't you just move into a new house?
Yeah, a new apartment in Carlsbad like five blocks from downtown. It's mad chill. When I roll down the street people holler at me from cars at stuff.
Are there spots by your house or a couple of guys to skate with?
There are a bunch of little skate houses--Chris Troy's neighborhood, and Kenny Hoyle--and there are a couple of spots. Like that Kyle Leeper spot... the back 3 in front of Pizza Port.
They call you Juice. Why do they call you that?
Back in the day, before I was old enough to buy beer, I used to buy juice. I used to drink cases of Capri Suns. Like, instead of buying cases of beer, I'd buy cases of Capri Suns.
But I got a new name the other day. My new name is "Lazy." I told these dudes at the bar that my name was Lindsey and they were so drunk they thought I said "Lazy", so they started calling me that! I'm like, whatever--I already have ten nicknames.
Any trips recently?
I've been skating a lot, but no trips. Just been around San Diego with Mystery. We roll out once a week at the least, or more likely three times a week.
Who's fun to skate with from that crew?
The most funnest? Probably either Dan Murphy or Jimmy Carlin. There's always the dudes who sit there stressin' the whole time; stressed on the ride, stressed at the spot. With those dudes, it's not like that. We combine our forces easier!
How are the Cadillac's?
Just got a paint job and restoration. $3,500 for the paint job and $1000 for the parts.
Are you trying to keep things vintage or are you trying to do Pimp My Ride style stuff?
Classic and original. I want floor mats, and I want muscle car style rims.
What's with the infatuation with Cadi's?
I don't understand how you could NOT want a Cadillac if you're a proud American. Chevy is alright, Ford is alright, but if you're an American you can't be f**kin' around with BMW and all that other bulls**t. What does that do for the economy?
So you buy Cadi's to help the economy?
Well, yeah. If they had that car at the dealership for $40,000, I'd buy it. My car has four car lighters, four cup holders, and leather seats. There's even a fuel sentinel that tells me how much fuel I have. That's digital; that's '81!
Do you think you can road trip that thing?
I want to. It's only got 80,000 miles on it, so it's ready to drive. I want to find someone to go with me, hire a filmer, and drive to Florida. The speedometer only goes up to 90, but that's fine because once you're up to about 65 you're movin'.
