Shawn Mandoli


Shawn Mandoli skated clean and fast. His penchant for preaching was a little creepy though.

hey, how about a Edward Devera post? They were both from SJ I think, that's why one made me think of the other.

Oh man, me and my friends used to quote that interview all the time. I was actually gonna comment on the interview before I even clicked the link.

"My bicycle... mah bike!"

And yeah, Edward Devera was sick.

What I want to know is do you have the Rifty Fifty? I really want you or Chops to post that!

Thanks for the post of that old ad, it brings back memories. I still skate all the time. I actually was skating with Ed Devera at a pool in Temecula, Ca. about two weeks ago. I just been skating, preaching and enjoying life man. Peace,
Shawn Mandoli

Thanks for commenting Shawn! I don't know if you remember this, but I actually met you at a demo you did with Richard Mulder in Ottawa, probably circa 1997 or thereabouts. It was at a really crappy outdoor skatepark in the suburbs. Richard Mulder made my homie cry by scaring him with tales of eternal damnation. Pretty fun day. Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you are still skating; I still watch your old parts and get psyched to skate. Thanks!

Rad man. I actually go to Canada a lot....I have friends in Toronto. I will tell Richard about it...I see him pretty often as well. Well, keep shredding.

Peace,
Mandoli
