Motokuchi Zawawa: how old are you?
Nick Gordy: I'm 23
Motokuchi Zawawa: is that cool?

Motokuchi Zawawa: and the two numbers are in numerical order. you have to be stoked on that right?
Nick Gordy: i've never actually thought about that haha im stoked on it now that you mention it
Motokuchi Zawawa: youve got a bunch of tattoos right?
Nick Gordy: I've got a good bit, not as many as I'd like to have but its a process
Motokuchi Zawawa: how many tribal ones do you have?
Nick Gordy: haha none thats a no no
Motokuchi Zawawa: do you fancy yourself a skateboarder?
Nick Gordy: I fancy myself a skateboarder, yes
Motokuchi Zawawa: hows that going for you?
Nick Gordy: it's going great, it always has and always will be the most fun thing in the world for me. and all my joints and limbs still work so I'm definetly stoked about that too
Motokuchi Zawawa: you recently took a pretty hard slam right?
Nick Gordy: yeah, that was probably my worst one so far
Motokuchi Zawawa: what were you thinking as you flew through the air?
Nick Gordy: honestly man, it was almost instant. like i saw the patch of dirt i was maching towards and as soon as I hit it, i was on the ground. I didn't even realize that I had traveled any distance. I was more so thinking before it actually happened, like "man, this is about to fucking hurt"
Motokuchi Zawawa: and you collapsed your lung?
Nick Gordy: yes haha deflated like a popped tire
Motokuchi Zawawa: probably shouldnt have smoked cigarettes on the way to the hospital huh?
Nick Gordy: haha that definetly didn't help I'm sure
Motokuchi Zawawa: but youre back on the board full force?
Nick Gordy: I feel like I'm back 100%, i've been a little weary, somewhat cautious cause I started back a couple of weeks earlier than the doctors said but I feel good so i'm just gonna keep doing what i've always been doing.
Motokuchi Zawawa: when are you gonna go out filming again?
Nick Gordy: whenever chase gets back from tampa lol nah really just whenever I get the chance, because of work I really only get to ride wednesdays, thursdays, and saturdays, but wednesday is my only day out of the week where i have absolutly nothing to do so I like to take full advantage of that day. at the same time, i definitly dont stress about filming cause nothing depends on me getting footage, I love skating so im going to skate with or without a camera, at the same time filming is always fun. its a good feeling, kind of like work accomplished.
Motokuchi Zawawa: everyone wants another part.
Nick Gordy: from me?
Motokuchi Zawawa: yeah!
Nick Gordy: I'd love to put together some good footage for another part, i had so much fun filming for Chase's "Time Wasted" video, primarily because half of the time I forgot I was filming for a video, there was no pressure. but shit, I'd love to film another part, I had a blast. and Chase just kills it anyways, skating, filming, video editing. all around talented dude.
Motokuchi Zawawa: any last words?
Nick Gordy: "It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me" John Lennon says that in "Strawberry Fields", and i've always liked that line because it's reassuring to me
Motokuchi Zawawa: shout outs?
Nick Gordy: shout out to you Cameron right off the bat, I know i havn't known you for too long but you're a good dude, thank you for doing this interview with me. and shout out to Chase Trau, Jona Owings, Daniel Farmer, Candler Woods, my parents of course aka my first sponsor, and all of my other friends that make my life as great as it is.
