tearing things up. He may be older, but he hasn't slowed down one bit. Clearly, he is more than dedicated to skating. He even painted his car to match his Fifty-50 pro frames. But Randy is much more than just a skater. He's an innovator and a visionary, not to mention, a hero to internet T-dogs everywhere. They know he's on-line all the time and they try desperately to find out his screen name with the hopes that one day, Randy would be their friend. Well recently, Sea-Quints... uh... borrowed his screen name off of a computer at Monarchy and thus gained access to a much coveted opportunity to pick his brain and perhaps gain a little insight into the enigma known as Randy Spizer.

SQ: So how old are you?
Randy: 19
SQ: When did you first start skating?
Randy: When I was 12.
SQ: When did you become a computer nerd?
Randy: Yesterday.
SQ: I hear you're the webmaster for SecondRegime.com -- what do you have planned for that?
Randy: I have nothing planned. I live my life day by day... that's why I'm so unorganized.
SQ: Just what happens in a day in the life of Randy Spizer?
Randy: Hmmm. Not much. I work, skate, hang out with my girlfriend then go on the computer until I sleep.
SQ: I didn't know you had a girlfriend. Was she one of those girls that years ago used to say, "Oh my God!! Roadhouse is soooo cute!!!"??
Randy: No, she actually didn't even know that I had the nickname

"I put the 'X' in X-treme!" -- Randy Spizer

Roadhouse... she thought Randy Spizer and Roadhouse were two different people. She could care less about rollerblading. I went out with her a for a few months and she had my Senate Roadhouse sticker... that picture of that little guy on her locker and she didn't even know that was mine.
SQ: What did she think about you looking so GQ in Box?
Randy: She thought it was funny.
SQ: What did your mom think?
Randy: Hmmmm. I don't remember what she said about that... All I remember is her bragging to my dad that I said "hi mom" before I said "hi dad".

SQ: If you were standing at the gates of hell and Satan told you that you could either go through door number one and never be able to skate again, or door number two where you could never play Starcraft ever again, which door would you pick?
Randy: I'd rather skate than play Starcraft. So I guess door number 2? Haha.
SQ: Have you ever stayed up until 5am skating?
Randy: Yeah.
SQ: Would you say that you skate until 5am more often or stay up until 5am playing Starcraft more?
Randy: Stay up playing Starcraft more because nobody wants to skate that late.
SQ: Really? I skate that late sometimes, with Mimi the little red troll. That way no one will see how much I suck. Have you ever competed in the X-treme Games?
Randy: Yes.
SQ: So you're pretty X-treme then, huh? Did you score a lot of points for big amplitude?
Randy: I put the X in X-treme!

SQ: So who do you usually skate with?
Randy: Charlie Ashby, Fat Kid, Tat Su, Ranier.
SQ: There are rumors circulating that you are working on a rollerblading video game. Is there any truth to that?
Randy: I was, but that's over now. It fell through.
SQ: Was it going to be called "Randy Spizer's Pro Skater"?
Randy: Sure.

SQ: So what are your feelings about skateboarder/rollerblader relations? Do you hate skateboarders?
Randy: I don't hate skateboarders, I just don't like rollerbladers supporting skateboard companies.

SQ: Why do you think everyone is buying Volkswagens now? Farvegnugen?

I mean, there's you, Law... I think Jon Elliot got a used one... and now BK?
Randy: Because I got it first!! Just kidding, Arlo had a Jetta before me.
SQ: What's the name of the car crew that you and Law started?
Randy: VW Gangstas. We're going to try to recruit Shane and Arlo next.
SQ: How do you think Lawrence painting his car pink affects the image of your crew?
Randy: I think it's good... It fully brings out the image that we are trying to portray.

SQ: So, any closing thoughts? Thank yous?
Randy: I wanna say thanks to BryBry for being my "some kinda cool title here about writing shit for me like hmm I have no clue what kinda name you should have" and thanks to my mom and dad. Thanks to Dan Jensen for helping me and werd to my friends: Charlie, Ranier, Fat Kid, Tat, and DAP for blading with me. And I love Brittney.
SQ: Woah, your girlfriend is Brittney Spears?
Randy: Close... Brittney B.
SQ: Oh. Ok. Never mind then.

By then, it had passed far into the wee hours of the morning and it was time to conclude the the interview. I came away with a deeper understanding of who Randy Spizer is, and a feeling of awe from my brush with skating greatness.
