Q: What's your full name?
A: Elijah Lennon Collard
Q: Where are you from?
A: Minneapolis, MN
Q: How old are you?
A: 18
Q: Got any sponsors?
A: Iota flow, Supernatural, 3rd Lair
Q: What exactly is Tree Logics?
A: It's a philosophy I've been advocating about using Mother Nature's "gifts" to the fullest while skating. Anybody who hasn't been familiarized with tree logics is sleeping.
Q: So you smoke a lot of nugs?
A: No comment. Maybe.
Q: What's your vibe on the Minneapolis scene?
A: It's good because it has street skaters, park skaters, a good board company (Iota) and good clothing company (Supernatural) and lots of good spots. I definitely hate winter but spring and summer are the shit. I think little kids should be skating street in the summer, not those shitty space-wasting pile of shit 3 foot high True Ride parks. Someone needs to make an outdoor park with all ledges that looks like an actual street spot.
Q: How was filming for ANONYMOUS?
A: It's harder than it looks. So much work went into that video that people don't know. The fact that just about every street spot in the video is a bust makes filming hard. I'm definitely stoked on how the video turned out. Benji is an excellent videographer. Buy ANONYMOUS if you don't already own it. Support local skateboarding!
Q: Do you have a favorite park?
A: 3rd Lair. Death to True Ride.
Q: How 'bout favorite spot?
A: Marble downtown Mpls, Downtown St. Paul, U of M, my benches, the forest.
Q: Worst injury?
A: Ankles made of glass.
Q: Who do you like skating with?
A: Neil, Mike, Scragsdale, Seth, Steez, Patrick, Chips, Rob, B-Show, Ryan Damian, Jeremy Reeves, Dolo, Beat Minor, Vang, Ulu.
Q: Anyone you hate skating with?
A: Grommets, bikers, and fruit booters.
Q: How's working at the 3rd Lair?
A: How's babysitting 100+ kids every day?
