I read a skateboarding magazine back afew years (2001? 2002?) and
there was an interview with Thurston regarding his connection to skateboarding..which apparently wasn't much other than appreciation
b/c he thought he was too tall to skate, until he saw Krist Noveselic skating
back stage at a show and 'really ripping it' as I recall the quote.
It's my understanding the idea for the video came about by everyone being super impressed by Spike Jonze's video he did for Blind skateboards.
With that said...ANYBODY know what that magazine was? I was working
at a convinience store at the time so I just swiped it off the shelf and read it..sadly I did not purchase it
