Peppermint Schnapz, tell us your real name and where you’re from and where you reside now? |
Dante DeBose I’m from Vacaville, California but I live in Gainesville, Florida now |
I know you started skating in Cali a couple years before coming to Florida. What to you is the difference between West and East coast skating and which would you prefer? |
I love the eastcoast scene. Shit I just love the eastcoast in general it’s more down to earth people more chill, it’s more of a home feeling. I love the westcoast also but I’m happy I moved away. All my friends stopped skating n started bangin n shit so I’m happy I got away n didn’t fall into that. I always wanna go back but haven’t been since I left. The style of skating there I feel unless you in Frisco or somethin, ur jumpin down something or some handrail or something…….I’m good on that, I wanna walk after I try tricks (laughs). Eastcoast is more what you find. Hydrants, mannys, banks, rough shit, wateva ya know, our version of smooth ground is a basketball court which razors ur board n rips your body the fuck up if you fall. |
What’s your usual skate day like and who do you usually cruise with? |
The homies, everyone from the ville is so close n it’s such a small town that everyone knows everyone n we all meet up n skate on the daily whether it’s just cruising around, goin to the park, whatever. It’s ill, we just wanna fuckin ride n do stupid tricks that people will prolly hate on but wateva shits fun. Tryin to skitch buses n shit I love it. |
