Ok then, Eden, why don't you tell us some stories of pat duffy now and as a kid? (Eden Carter is a childhood friend of Pat Duffy and a former pro snowboarder.)

Ok, pat at 10 years old...
Biggest mullet I've ever seen. Some kid told me he played hockey and that he
liked to fight. Then I saw him get in a fight with the biggest guy in
school. Pat didn't win but he held his ground. He fought the guy off and
didn't even get punched. Funny thing about that is Pat is the nicest guy
I've ever met. He doesn't even fight. Only to protect himself. He must have
been flirting with that guys girl or something.
He hated school. All we did back then was ride our Powell Peralta boards and
do power slides on Elm street with the bigger boys. We used to sneak out of
our parents houses after curfew and meet in the park by the school, We would
wait until the police saw us and then we would run away. We'd try and get
them to chase us. Then we'd have a good night on the run. We only got caught
twice.
Pat at 20...
When Pat was 20 it was 1994. This was the Plan B hay day. Plan B was huge
back then and Pat was flying all over the place. He was not really partying
that much but skateboarding a lot. He was a devoted skateboarder and did
exactly what he was supposed to do. He was ripping too. He was pretty sick
of skating then because they had already put out 2 or three Plan B video's.
The next year he moved to Tahoe with Danny (Way) and the three of us got a place
together and snowboarded all winter.
Pat and I have had some crazy ass stories from all over the world.
Last year we went to Thailand for three weeks together, that place is a party.
Once we got a hotel room in Reno, Nevada and ended up getting 12 naked girls
in the hot tub. I think Jason Ellis was with us for that one but he got scared cause there were so
many and left.
And pat at now...
He has definitely turned skating into a life long career. He is very career oriented and
over the past two years he has kind of come to the end of his 13 year party .
Lately he has kind of reinvented himself as a skateboarder and also focused more on all of his fans.
He picks selected nights to party instead of all the time. But when we party we fucking party.
Pat has also fine tuned his guitar and golfing skills and has mastered the banjo lately.

(Which as most of you know turned out to happen for real, as Brian is now also on the Plan B team. Skate.nu comment.)

|
| Pat

|
| PJ

I've been to Stockholm for a couple of days. I think
it was with Es, it's all a blur. The only thing I can really remember is skating a big
rectangular drained fountain with ledges.

|
Ah, thats "Obsan", one of stockholms main spot. A lot of skaters here in Sweden also remembers your footage of a switch threeflip down Gula Gången, a classic staircase here ("Yellow Walkway").
Can you recall any Swedish words PJ?
