Check out DC rider Evan Smith in the latest Zumiez interview video! ZUMIEZ: Besides skateboarding what could you not live without? EVAN SMITH: Besides skateboarding? Wow, I don’t think I could live without music, because that is the fuel for everything. I couldn’t live without love, because love is everything. ZUMIEZ: How did you get into playing music? EVAN SMITH: When I was 14, I was at Woodward West building a studio with my uncle. He got me my first guitar because I showed some interest in playing while we were traveling. By the time we got to Woodward West, I was kind of noodling, and the jamming began, so that was the beginning. ZUMIEZ: Does anybody else on DC play music with you? EVAN SMITH: Yes, I actually have jam sessions now a days with Jimmy Astleford, who is the team manager. He bought this little guitar, I don’t know what it’s called but it has a really small body, but a full size neck. He brings it on tour with a little Orange amp, you can play it anywhere its battery powered. Today we were actually at the beach on Coolangatta in Australia, and he was jamming away. ZUMIEZ: What makes your new DC show unique to you? EVAN SMITH: What makes the shoe unique to me, is that it has a really timeless feel to it. When I skate the show I feel like I am in every single era. It has a bit of the Seventies to it, the Eighties skateboarding to it, the Nineties, and even modern day. It has a bunch of different aspects to it, and really nice technology, as well as a timeless look. ZUMIEZ: What skaters inspire you lately? EVAN SMITH: One skateboarder that inspires me as of lately is Westgate. He just got on Element, and I have had the opportunity to skate with him in person this year, and it was pretty next level. He has a striving mentality, and he is such a cool guy, he is always laughing and having fun. As well, he is so amazing on his skateboard, obviously. Me and him have been having
