EXPN SNEAKERHEAD INTERVIEW
Kip Williamson, Fellow Sneaker Head!
EXPN.COM
As I said in my, Hot new kicks, Beloe Footwear, blog on Feb. 5th, a BMXer's shoes are pretty high up there on the priority list. Let's face it, the BMX shoe is part of the infatuation and obsession of the sport. So, while I too have been a little obsessed lately about my own BMX shoe assortment, I got to thinking about a photo shoot I did this past summer of Pro Flatlander, Kip Williamson (Sponsored by UGP). Just prior to getting started on the shoot, Kip popped the trunk on his SUV and pulled out a sweet pair of Nike, Dunks he picked out special for the photo shoot. To say the least, they were a pretty rad looking pair of sneaks! Obviously, they caught my attention and that was the day I learned just how big of a fellow Sneaker Head Kip really is. He is not only a true collector; his shoe fetish is part of who he is.
These are just a few shoes of Kip's massive collection. Kip takes his obsession to a whole different level! Photo by: Chip Riggs
EXPN: How many pairs do you own?
Kip: I don't know exactly, but right now I would say I own 100 pair of shoes. Approximately, 70 of those pairs are Nike's. I get this sickness from my Mom, who said she thinks she has over 500 pair of shoes! I guess I'm on my way! (Ha-Ha!) Other brands in my closet include Etnies, Creative Recreation, 4rce, Adidas, Puma, Kangaroos, Saucony, Gravis, and while I hate to say it, Quicksilver had some sick stuff a few years ago.
EXPN: How much do you spend a year on shoes?
Kip: Well, the more I make, the more I spend! Not having a truck payment and having low over-head means more buying TOYS and SHOES! I bought a lot of both this year! Right now, I average about 1-2 pair per month. Last month I bought 5 pairs of shoes!

EXPN: What's your favorite pair?
Kip: My favorite pair changes all the time. If I get a new pair that usually becomes my favorite pair for at least a month. Lately, I've been getting so many pairs at once; they stack up in my closet untouched until the perfect moment. (Ha-Ha!) I have about 25 pairs I've never tried on. No need since they are all in my size. If the moment strikes me, and I feel like rocking a new pair, I'll go to the closet and come out with fresh new kicks! It's definitely a fashion thing that gets me psyched!
EXPN: What's your most expensive pair?
Kip: I just spent $400 on a pair which is my record so far. I have several pair of shoes I bought at regular retail price, which are usually $90-$130 per pair. Down the road sometimes they go way up in value. The pair I bought for $400 has been sold out for about 3 years, so I had to pay the current street value. I had been looking for a pair in my size for the past year or so, and they finally showed up on eBay!
Like Kip said, "It's all how it's presented, the rider, the music, the background, the editing, and the shoes." Best of all the trick he's doing is an, ENDO!!!

EXPN: What are the last non-pair of Nike shoes you've owned?
Kip: Etnies, I ride in Etnies every time and they are the best shoes for riding flatland. I currently ride the Rune Glifberg shoe, called the Forsvar. I've been riding that style for over a year now. They are super durable, perfect tread, look good, fit snug, lightweight, and make me ride better!
EXPN: Do you ride in every pair?
Kip: The only time I ride my bike in a pair of Nike's is for a photo. It's kind of fun in a way to think of the shoes as something that goes hand in hand with fashion and BMX. It all comes down to fun, and wearing a new pair of sneakers seems like the shit!

EXPN: What size shoe do you wear?
Kip: I wear a size 13! When I was younger I was very tall and always had big feet for my age. I'm only 5'11" so kind of weird I got these huge Bigfoot size feet! It doesn't help when it comes to flatland riding. If I had a size 9 it would help me out but having this big ass foot, sometimes makes it difficult on pivoting tricks. I have to get way out on the end of the pegs at times!
EXPN: Are you sponsored by Nike?
Kip: No, I'm not sponsored by Nike. It would be amazing if that happened! The 6.0 line is geared towards a younger crowd. The SB line is geared towards skateboarders. So, it would have to be the regular Nike division. I think it's possible if somebody at Nike saw current flatland riding they would be amazed and maybe want to be a part of it! It's all how it's presented, the rider, the music, the background, the editing, and the shoes. The possibilities even just collaborating on a future Dunk shoe would be a dream come true! I've got some dope ideas, so Nike if you're listening, can we please do a MASTER BLASTER shoe.... PLEASE?

ANIME BMX FLATLAND ACTION FIGURE

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Rei Ayanami BMX FLATLAND Trick Pvc Figure The latest in the EVANGELION SHOUJO STATUE SERIES, coinciding with the tenth EVA-versary and REBUILD OF EVANGELION anime film projects. I almost shit my pants when I saw this toy on eBay a couple of weeks ago. You can search your local comic book store, or go on eBay and pick one up for $29.99 - $38.99. It comes in a killer box that displays the toy. Unlike lame toys we've seen over the recent years, this toy is actually posed in a position that is authentic to the trick, known as the backyard. One of the first scuffing tricks invented in 1987. This trick is still considered to be somewhat timeless over the years because of it's closer more current version of the trick known as a lard yard. It's pretty cool to see something like this in a toy store. These toys are somewhat rare if you are looking in a store. Onine is the way to go for sure if you don't live in a city. This toy is definitely something FLATLAND can be proud of!

HOLLYWOOD FLATLAND JAM 9 - May 19th, 2007

Hollywood FLATLAND Jam 9 is going down on Saturday May 19th, 2007! Why is it called the Hollywood Jam when it's in ZUMA BEACH you might ask?? It's because Hollywood Steve, who isn't really from Hollywood at all, is organizing his 9th jam with the help of Diversion Video Magazine, INTRIKAT, Sick Child, and CREAM Magazine from FRANCE. It's always a great time with plenty of riders making the trek to the parking lot. If you get bored watching the action, you can always check out the hot young surf chicks that chill at the beach! Regardless if you ride flatland or not, and regardless of your skill level, go check out the jam and have some fun! It's not about the tricks you do, but how much fun you have doing it!

TICOS JAM 4 THROWS DOWN IN COSTA RICA FEB 11TH

Bobby Carter emailed me to say that Ticos Jam 4 went down last weekend on Feb. 11th 2007. Chase Gouin, Scott Powell, Manuel Prado, Pat Schoolen from FLATLANDFUEL.COM, and Bobby Carter all went down there to ride and hang out with the locals.
You may have heard of the Ticos Jam in an older issue of BMX PLUS and/or DIVERSION in the dvd extras. Bobby said the event was awesome and all the riders were stoked to share the flatland experience! Even Gino Stuart, a rider all the way from Amsterdamn, came out for the jam. Be on the lookout for a short segment about the event in an upcoming issue of Diversion Video Magazine.
