10 Years With Joe Sexton

Where were you and what were you doing in 2000?

Kinda just started snowboarding, probably just going to school.

BS tip press of doom

Worst bail in 10 years?

Probably the bail I had the other night, half backflip to stairs, somehow I’m still alive.

Anyone that is still famous now that should have been left at the millennium door?

No one that I can really think of, I’m sure there are some though.

What music were you listening to in 2000 and do you still listen to it today?

I was probably listening to the Offspring or like some X Games soundtrack, not sure if I still would listen to that, maybe though.

Worst move you pulled when you were wasted in past 10 years?

I usually dance any time I’m wasted, not really the worst move, but my dance moves are pretty bad.

Joe took the blue pill and found out how deep the rabbit hole really goes...

If you could have lived in a different era, which one would it be?

Probably like the Decade, Technical Difficulties and The Resistance era, things just seemed so cool back then.

Favorite movie of the past decade?

Happy Hour!

Did you ever see Method Mag on VHS?

Nah, sorry...

Any funny nicknames you got tagged with the past decade that you managed to shake?

Harry Potter, Frog Body, the list goes on and I haven’t managed to shake any of them.

What do have to say to Method for surviving alcohol poisoning for a decade?

Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Would you like thank snowboarding for anything?

Thanks for being so fun, and for giving me a reason to live, haha!

How does your bank account compare to what it looked like 10 years ago?

I can still buy things, but I gotta pay for more things now.

Top 3 who's who of snowboarding in the last 10 years?

JP Walker, Jeremy Jones, Scotty Wittlake.

Who's video part do you wish was yours in the last 10 years? Any of JP's or Jeremy’s or Scotty's.

After 10 years what sensitive information can you declassify?

Sorry, still classified.

I would have, could have, should have been?

Maybe I should have had more fun in high school...

What has drastically changed that would be hard for kids to believe these days?

Gas prices, airline prices and stupid charges, crazy technology, I think I’m getting an iPhone so I'll let you know how that goes, I’m a little behind. It’s all good though, it's been a good ten years!

That nosepress over the bar was tight, all AVE style, how about a quick Methodology to stoke out the kids?

Sure thing. Approach the rail going faster than you would for a normal attempt. You're going over the bar, so you're gonna want to take more speed. Start your pop about a foot or so away from the front of the rail. Pop your ollie and suck your legs up, making sure you clear the top of the rail. Once you have cleared the front, eye up the bar and start leaning forward to get into the press. Once you make contact with the rail it's the same as a standard nosepress, just press that baby to the end and pop out.
