RONNIE CREAGER
Sat, Nov 8, 2008NEWS

Goofy or Regular: Right foot forward, I think I heard somewhere that it is also called Natural when you skate that way.
Sponsors: Blind Skateboards, Ergophobia Clothing, Tensor Trucks, Happyskateboarding.com online skateshop

Size of Board You Ride: Currently I’m riding a Resin 8 board with full concave. The width is 7 5/8” by 31 1/4”. I’ll stick with a smaller board when I find myself doing a lot of flat ground and ledge tricks. I’m 5’ 8” and weigh 145lbs. I’m going to try and move up to a slightly longer and wider board. I like boards with concave so I can flip faster.

Wheel Size: 50mm works pretty good for me. I won’t go above 51mm or below 48mm.

Trucks: Tensor MID’s, I use to ride the Highs but I feel like I have more control with the lower trucks. I hear the Low’s are the way to go. I’ll try those next but need to find a board with a higher tail so it doesn’t hit so quickly when you ollie.
Favorite Food: If you find yourself wondering aimlessly around the grocery store in hopes to find a good little snack to munch on, ask a clerk where to find Hot Wasabi Peas. Yummy! I like making sandwiches. (bread, cheese, turkey, alfalfa sprouts, lettuce, beet root, avocados, vegenaise, mustard)
Favorite Color: Grey’s, whites and blues.
Favorite Toothpaste: Arm & Hammer advance whitening & Close Up
Favorite Soap: The joke kind that turns your body green with using it.
3 Songs To Share: My songs change all the time but here’s 3 songs that I like for some weird reason. Grey Cell Green – Neds Atomic Dustbin, The Knife Song – Milk, (Don’t)Kill Yourself – The Spores.
2 Cool Skateboard Video: Level land & Lords of Dogtown
Favorite Show’s To Watch: I like to watch Fuel tv and The Golf Channel the most. When I find myself channel surfing I’ll stop and watch Poker, Animal Planet, America’s funniest home video’s, Discovery Channel.
Something People Don’t Know About You: I was adopted, My memory sucks.
Why Skateboarding: It takes me to my secret place where I can get lost and not have to worry.

How High Can You Ollie: I don’t like to ollie too high, it’s a long ways back down, just kidding. I’ve ollied 9 boards stacked on each other.
What Are Your Warm Up Tricks To Get Loose: I’ll start out by doing some kickflips and getting the timing down. Then nollie flips and 360 fickflips, After that I’ll try tricks I haven’t practiced in the last copy days and work on those till I make a couple of each… or give up!
3 Favorite Places to Shop: Electronic stores for sure! Next would be K-mart or Target.

Favorite Restaurant: Bennihana’s, Pita Jungle, Euro Cafe

Something Everybody Must Have: Besides the obvious (oxygen, water) I like what Rodney said.
Right Handed or Left Handed: I’m right handed but use my left hand for a lot of things… blinkers, wipers, getting out of the car, pulling stuff out of the refrigerator, caps lock, flushing the toilet, steady the pool cue, holding things while I write on them.
Script or Print Writing: My writing is horrible. I print everything. Everything messy.
Clean Up Yourself or Call a Maid: Myself.

Do You Believe in Aliens or Ghost’s: Every time I think about Ghost’s, I get chills and think of the couple things I’ve. As for Aliens…I really want to know what’s up with beings from other planets and all the strange cover ups.
Mac or PC: I use a Mac but thinking about getting a PC.

Boxers or Tighty Whities: Boxer briefs.
3 Movies We Should Rent: The Boondock Saints, Crank, Four Rooms, Unbreakable.
2 Cool Books Everybody Should Read: How about getting your favorite magazine subscriptions. I still have Rodney’s “the flying circus of physics WITH ANSWERS”! I’m no good at math
Favorite Cell Phone: The BlackBerry “bold, it’s awesome.
Favorite Place To Vacation: I can’t remember the last time I’ve been on a vacation. I think I would have to pick between Australia, Japan, Iceland, South Africa though.
What’s Your Current Ring Tone: The ring tone from the movie Crank. Get it!
Favorite Vegetable: All vegetables, but I like carrots, steamed and a little sweet.

What’s Your Favorite Snack: I finished 3 boxes of thin mint girl scout cookies in the past 4 days.

Share A Saying: There are some things you don’t want to get too good at. You’ll loose interest.
Make Up A Short Poem About Skateboarding:
Skate all day, skate for miles. A skateboard brings me many smiles! ☺

this is kind of funny, i dont know if i should share it but i will. a while back i was in the orange county jail waiting to go to court, and i was talking to this guy and some way he said he grew up with you, and i was like no way thats my favorite skater. he said you were adopted and that you had a sister. it was just kind of funny i dont remember the guys name or anything, but i guess its a small world. i’m going to buy the blind video may 15th may 15th may 15th. happy skateboarding.
