Clark Hassler #2.




Canned Heat.

"Me and Kyle Camarillo had this idea one day to end my part, like, "Oh, maybe we could just have you float away." We told Matt Eversole and he thought it'd be sick. A girl that worked at Dwindle knew some people from MTV or something that had the equipment for that. Fuck yeah, I was scared, though. That harness could break or go loose if it wanted to. I'm scared of heights in the first place, and they just left me stranded up there for a minute. I don't even know how high it was but I was looking down at cement, like "Ahhh!""

Clark's part in Bag of Suck features a lot of manual tricks done with quick feet. He skates many ledges and does a bunch of switch tricks. I think he's from the LA area and lives in New York City. His dad was friends with Steve Rocco from growing up together. Clark rides for Nike. enjoi finally turned him pro this last summer. He's a tough guy to find out information about. I still dig his part a whole lot. Sometimes it is better just not knowing.

What was up with NFL mascots skateboarding at the park with Louie?

Louie says the mascots were at the park filming a spot that was to be turned into a superbowl ad, but not knowing this, having just shown up to the park on the same day, at the end of the day when they asked the enjoi guys to sign a waiver they wouldn't but kept their film and bolted.he laughs about it in a comment voice over for TWS.
