Name: Jon goemann
Home: Vista, California
Sponsors: Slave, Vans, Analog, Active, Spitfire and Brimley Shades.
What shoes do you skate: I like to skate the Classic shoes like Old Skools, Eras and Slip Ons.
What’s your set up: My current set up is a 8-inch Allie Slave board with 136 Indys, size 54 Spitfire wheels and some Swiss.
What’s been the best trip you’ve ever been on?
My favorite trip would be this last Slave northwest trip because of the crew. That's the most important thing on the road in my opinion and we did a bunch of camping and skating parks it was mellow and really fun.
What is the best story you’ve ever heard or been told?
This isn’t much of a story but my buddy Ernie when he was younger was sitting shotgun and asked the driver to readjust the right mirror because he couldn’t see out of it.
Favorite Vans rider?
I'm gonna say Keegan.
What trick can’t you do that you wish you could?
There's lots of them. Basically any heelflip trick and I'm f**ked.
Worst trend in skateboarding right now?
Skating topless.
What are some interests/hobbies outside of skating?
Hanging out with friends, drinking, playing pool, movies, books; stuff like that.
Last good book you read?
Kurt Vonnegut The Sirens of Titan.
5 songs that have to be on a mix tape:
Sam the Sham and The Pharoas—Little Red Riding Hood
Bob Dylan—Love Minus Zero/No Limit
Morrissey—Sister I'm a Poet
Elvis—His Latest Flame
The coral—Dreaming of You.
Are you still into candy?
Yeah, Snickers.
How many iPods have you broken or lost over the years? What happens to them all?
I've been thru at least 15 iPods. I don't know what happens. I think it might be cursed. I lose them or break them a lot. I seem to do that with everything. The other week I left my iPhone in a cab.
Are you still heavily into poker? What’s the most you’ve ever won and lost?
It's f**ked up I haven't been playing that much lately. Every Friday a couple of bros play a game or if I'm bored I’ll head over to Oceans. I've lost up to $500 and won a little over $700.
Are you one of those guys that bets on anything?
I’ll bet on skate tricks all the time and other random stuff so I guess that's a yes.
When you rode for Birdhouse did you ever skate doubles with the Birdman?
No, that would have been cool.
Ever do a 540 over his eggplant?
I wish I could 540s; that would be f**king amazing.
You ride for Slave. What exactly are you a slave to?
I'm a slave to nothing.
