LC: Lamest customer ever?
BD: Currently, Meth Todd holds the title, but dudes from the past like the JAC Board guy and Disco still burn my ass. Fuck you Disco!
LC: What do you do with people you catch stealing?
BD: No cops. Knuckle sandwich, hang their shoes from the ceiling. In thirteen years, we have had only two items stolen. You do not want to get caught stealing here.

LC: Is it fun skating in your indoor park in the middle of the summer?
BD: It's like being in the rain forest, but the grommets love to sweat out those energy drinks.
Jerry Moody stalefish
LC: Give us some dirt on Biggs.
BD: Biggs is my bro from way back. Years ago, he had a reputation for saying he would be somewhere and not show. He would say "Roach, lets go skate when I get out of work", and I'd be home waiting and he wouldn't show up. Without Biggs dedication, there would be no Backdoor Skateshop. For years he held this place down. What up Biggs! Much love from the family in NC.

LC: Ever tell a customer to get fucked?
BD: More than once, and that's only speaking for myself. We only treat people that way who have no respect.

LC: Worst employee ever?

LC: Is it fun explaining skateboarding to people who are fucking clueless?
BD: Sometimes I enjoy explaining product to people with little experience, but explaining skateboarding itself to the clueless is impossible. They are not capable of understanding.

LC: Thing that's been in your shop the longest and will probably never sell?
BD: We have shit thats been around for years. I think the crown jewel of garbage is a pair of Quim Cardona S-One insoles, size nine. Any takers?

LC: Last comments?
BD: Thanks to all our friends at Lowcard and DLX: Rob, Reija, Jonah, Darin, Biggs, and Zig. All of the support means a lot to us here.
I only meet Jay before but fuck Jerry Moody rips too.
BD: P.S.- Little known fact about Biggs, Way back, Biggs used to hang with a dude that was the size of a giant. His name was Shane (I think) and everyone called him Biggums. He and Biggs were always together and Biggs got the name "Little Biggs". That was later shortened to just Biggs. His real name is Chris Coward.
