No better way to cross the bay bridge, keep the chips patrol in front of you.

5 QUESTIONS

456

The Tenth Division just dropped their Spring Part 1 delivery at Boundless NY. What makes Boundless different from the other shops is our connections. Our 10 Deep Connect is Josh Fishel. The pusher man. He’s the man responsible for lacing your favorite spot with 10 Deep, since day 1.

He also happens to have lived with Pete Leonard, the creative director from King Stampede. We let Pete hit Josh with this next round of 5 Questions.

1. Talk to me about a trade you made with Chris Hafner and how long it took you to get your part of the trade?

traded him the chain gang hoodie for the brian anderson dunks…..took him 3 years to get them to me….thanks to ron morreli….still got love for the bear though

2. One word. sharks, please elaborate. or perhaps tell us one of your favorite not so well known shark stories.

Never really got over the first jaws which I saw when I was like 5 years old….favorite story when this kid got his leg bit off in florida and his uncle wrestles the shark out of the water….a beach cop then shoots the shark to death….kid’s uncle get’s the leg out of the sharks mouth and paramedics are able to reattach and save the leg….real talk right there….favorite shark…..Stompy – named for her fin being slighty cut off…. she’s a 19 ft 2 ton Great White who along with her cousin Cadillac do damage to lion seals as they patrol the Faralon Islands just north of San Francisco….You won’t catch me going out of my crib the week of Shark Week.

3. You like to collect menu’s, it’s an interesting hobby, what is the drive behind this ?

want to one day open some sort of joint with food involved….so I’m constantly researching and plotting…..gonna build the perfect menu or something like that

4. Do you have a favorite memory of when we were roommates at 163 Carlton ave ?

favorite memory of 163 carlton is when you were mia and we found you passed out over a chair on the roof….good stuff pistol….too many others to go into….hahaaa

5. Whats up with the 10 Deep Skate team ? I notice you have German a Jersey ripper on the team.

it’s not a skate team….we’re just supporting some kids who rip
