the latest issue of The Skateboard Mag is already sweet by having Geoff Rowley on the cover
I flipped the cover open to this banging Vans ad
YES more Rowley, and this time it’s his milestone interview
haven’t read a Daniel Shimizu interview in awhile. PRETTY STOKED
right when I’m almost done flipping through the magazine, I came across this!
I had to relook at this photo making sure I’m actually seeing everything correctly. Yup, that’s Auby doing a fakie Flip down that gnarly set

A great man once said that Auby is socially f-ked but a true skateboarder. After sharing a room with Auby for the last four months, I completely agree. Auby will skate all day and take slam after slam and still try to wake you up in the middle of the night to go out and skate more. He thinks he has a broken bone after pretty much every session (other people think he’s broken something also because every time he slams it’s as if he’s being electrocuted). And in true Auby form, instead of ice, he takes four or five baths a day to make him feel better-it’s some sort of weird addiction. He will let a photographer take a naked picture of him anytime anyplace, he will even let you use it instead of a skate shot in a mag! Auby likes to say all the eyes of Texas are upon him-I just hope he has his clothes on.-Curren Caples
Auby’s line is about the length of my video part right now. How awesome is this…
