Dre has always been a great guy! Excited to see him on here and still skating ❤

[@torinmartinez4331]

Love what you do on this channel guys! Joined as a sponsor cause I appreciate what you do. Keep at it!

[@JumpStreetPodcast]

thanks for the love and support torin!

[@JustAnotherBlader]

Great interview. Awesome to see he is still blading and keeping up with some of the newer players like Jay Yoon and Zack Savage. I did not know he was associated with mushroom blading, makes me appreciate his skating even more.

[@blingo4life]

One of the best to ever do it !

[@JumpStreetPodcast]

Agreed

[@freshzinn]

Dre's always been an idol forreal! So glad I met him at the BackYard indoor skatepark in germany back in 2013! Nothing but love for this guy ❤

[@rizzzlaaa]

Been waiting for a long time for Dre! That 270 back cowboy in closer (not sure) is still one of my favourite tricks. King of style!

[@rollforever_85]

My first memory of seeing Dre in a video was in the VG12 BMC1 Carolinas section. I’ll never forget the 270 front sav he did on that handicap rail. First time I ever saw that trick I think 💥

[@drinkingpoolwater]

I remember that too. first time I ever seen it and it stood out big time. Dre was ahead of his time.

[@torinmartinez4331]

Yoooooooo Dre finally up in here!!! Love that dude! Big ups brother!

[@JumpStreetPodcast]

Mad love for Dre ❤️

[@Toegrab]

Another one of my favorite pro razor slates, and Dre has the best steez in the game still.

[@iterum3284]

Dre had the best style

[@JumpStreetPodcast]

Style GOAT

[@UlysseProm]

Awesome interviews love the vibe!!!

[@felixmyrgren1025]

It would be cool to have a 4th box showcasing profiles

[@17BKS]

Ya Mushroom Blading definitely did start in ATL in the sense that Joey has said Andy Kruse coined the term

[@capitaodieimes]

Mestre Dre!!

[@17BKS]

One of the traits of the true icons is there’s no need to put the name at the bottom because you know who it is as soon as they show up on screen-Dre’s always had that🙏. I was working during the live show but I would’ve asked about the roof to live power line pic from the Dre vs Dunkle interview in DB🤷‍♂️

[@Habeev07]

I remember watching an ASA skate event on tv back from like 2004 or 2005 and it had Dre competing. Short haired version of Dre

[@joel8750]

Speaking of Sean Cullen, I hope Billy pulls some strings to get him on.

[@troyhanner7859]

True goat. ❤

[@stuco]

Wow, skates and bruises. I used to skate there. Little did I know at the time Dre, Walt and Haffey were skating there.

[@abielcotto2392]

Im from the P.R.Crew and RIP Alex (Chaka) met Dre in the states around (2000-2001) and Dre gave him his phone num, so and one day Chaka called me to call Dre in a conference call😂 (he didn't pick up, but I remember his voicemail) (dude voicemail was him rapping) ✍️😭🙏

[@troyhanner7859]

I felt the light skin thing tooo well

[@MontgomeryMonsters]

Dre is da truth

[@stevenratat]

DRE💯

[@MontgomeryMonsters]

🏴‍☠️🐐

[@Jaykuza609]

Dude looks like drugs or something have been giving him hell. I hope he’s ok.

[@crayfishroll]

Yo Billy I hope you took Dre's advice to watch Ninja Scroll. That is a real dope classic anime!

[@rollforever_85]

Definitely adding this to my watch list

[@jamesgarland8322]

Put the pipa down Dre! Warning warning where’s this foo going .?

[@omenelis]

cool epiaode guys! 💗 ...but lemme just say: FUCK the olympics!!!! we do not belong there at all! perhaps speedskating, highjump or some slalom and slides could go olympic but artforms can't be measured with points.

[@JumpStreetPodcast]

I was thinking that during the conversation also and we spoke about that on the podcast before too how I never understood how judging worked with asa or x games back in the day. Like when someone got an 87.78 as a score, wtf does that mean???

[@forke36]

Nah damn why my boy look fiend out 😮😮

[@forke36]

He’s still an OG though 🔥

[@scottaragon2498]

Probably the most overrated skater to get a skate under his name. Never understood why and how was he able to get his own skate when there were so many highly deserved skaters who had the trick vocab and reigns to deserve but one thing I have noticed about Dre is that he can talk himself into many things but eventually caught up. I mean, just think about it, how long did it take for Billy O'Neill to get a skate and it wasnt even for Razors?? My points exact.

[@zekwilt]

There's a lot more to getting a pro skate than just skill level. For a long time, Dre was flat out better than the majority of bladers. But it took a while for him to actually get a pro skate, and in that time period, skating itself got crazier and crazier, and yea, a lot of bladers surpassed Dre skill wise. BUT like I said, there's much more to getting a pro skate than just where your skill level is at. Style, being recognizable, being likable, being influential, being professional, PAYING YOUR DUES, all mixed with skill level. That's being marketable

[@17BKS]

Ya I can’t really say it better than @zekwilt said it. If you can 540 soyale but you look the same as the next guy who can 540 soyale, how can you sell anything? Dre stood out, and by all accounts he was the best ambassador, period, in terms of hanging out at demos, comps etc.

[@rollforever_85]

@@zekwilt 💯

[@drinkingpoolwater]

Were you around during VG19? Doesn't sound like it. Dre's section was so fresh back then. If you weren't there, you wouldn't get it.

[@devin5068]

Dres clips in that James reetzki life plus montage were some of the best clips ever captured on camera
