Jason Lee and Chris Pastras On Free Lunch!

[@ride]

Before Jason Lee was Earl on NBC, he was one of the top pro's of blind skateboards with Guy Mariano and Mark Gonzales. Then he started Stereo Skateboards with Chris Pastras, and now he's on Free Lunch with us. Here's two of the best guys in skateboarding.

RIDE Channel C.R.E.A.M - El Michels Affair at the end, very nice!

[@drumr72]

Dude, agreed. I got to skate with him and the whole Blind team basically one day at the San Jose Warehouse complex. It was a private warehouse down on 10th St in San Jose and man....you would not believe who I got to skate there with. But Jason was a nice guy, he and Wade Speyer were jumping from the vert ramp off to the mini ramp extension...over a good 6 foot gap. All kinds of killer runs on the spine mini too. Great guys. They were baked out of their minds too, we all were...but they were better when baked. I was not.

💯 J. Lee and Dune are legends and were my favorite skaters, along with Carl Shipman and Ethan Fowler. I was a massive Stereo fan (loved early bLind and World too). I remember going to see Mallrats specifically to see Jason Lee’s acting debut and there being a bunch of other skaters in the audience; it was a pretty big deal at the time. Considering his personality via interviews, Video Days and A Visual Sound, etc. I was not surprised at all when he started acting.

[@TheStereoSoundAgency]

Thanks for all the support over the years!

[@bennyshambles]

My favorite skateboard company and skaters of all-time. A Visual Sound was a masterpiece (and Tin-Can Folklore was an excellent follow-up, especially the Tortoise-heavy soundtrack). Much love and respect. ❤️

[@dollas_and_sense]

These guys were actually a couple right? They interact like a married couple. Not business partners. They crossed arms so hard when they were asked if there's ever been a lover quarrel

[@villiantwo]

after watching jasons 9club interview, the next board i buy will be a Stereo for sure. .. both of you are true legends in the game!

[@strobolazer4082]

Jason Lee and Matt Hensley were the idols of my youth. They were so ahead of their time.

[@bennyshambles]

Yep. They were just so fucking cool. They also had a sort of mutual admiration thing happening.

[@sk863cuz]

that looks like a fancy ass free lunch! I see salmon, zucchini, broccoli, like these dudes are on some next level healthy shit

[@jacobrodriguez7456]

Lol it’s the mussels for me

[@conspiraciesarejustgreatst2059]

love Jason Lee....funny as hell and such a chill dude

[@keymow7162]

Jason Lee is the one who inspired me to skateboard thnx :)

[@JacobNorwood1]

For the kiddies the Blind video Video Days was a game changer in skateboarding. That style of skateboarding and video making was the basis for all videos after it. I believe it reignited skateboarding after its transition from the late 80's.

[@Gpalmer16]

Ill give you 100 bucks and take you to Benihanas if you do this 75ft handrail. Ill give you 600 tries ill be back next week...

[@bennyshambles]

laaAAAaate. *Apparently this was a dig at Mike Ternasky (H-Street, Plan B), R.I.P.

[@tradewinds2319]

The seuss board..cat in the hat.

[@MattGerberTV]

saw that in "The man who souled the world." One of my favorite quotes to say now.

[@bennyshambles]

My two skateboarding heroes talking about other skate legends. 🙌🏼 Their explanation of the Stereo aesthetic makes SO much sense and I understand even more why it spoke to me in such a massive way. Dune’s whole trip influenced a generation of skaters, making them value style and power over a solely technical approach. Today’s skateboarding needs a Stereo equivalent more than ever. I think companies like FA, Hockey and Polar are providing a mix between that and the World/bLind/101 aesthetic, but can’t think of any companies doing something as unique as Stereo in its mid-90s heyday. And YES, J. Lee does have the best 360 flip. He pioneered the trick and just happened to have an incredible, smooth style regardless. That’s why his 360 flips in Video Days and A Visual Sound still bear scrutiny.

[@bigglilwayne7050]

Coolest interview of Jason Lee ever, dude is funny as fuck!!! And totally normal too

[@theramplocal]

Jason Lee skating and influence is 1 of the biggest in skateboarding, such a beast!

[@czuo]

one of the best partnership in skating, legends

[@Nirvana4me007]

he is haha ever played skate? He trains you, the dude still is pretty good used to be pro. He has done his part in the world of skateboarding, thanks Jason Lee, he doesnt have a lot of footage though that is up and public. but some of his parts are pretty damn awesome.

[@d1ggitydan]

fuck.....this is probably the best Free Lunch ever in the past two years....this is just amazing two legends right here. I wish there were more riders on this show of this caliber.

[@sambako9420]

you know you don't watch good movies when you say that you know Jason Lee from Alvin and the Chipmunks

[@JohnMcneil112]

Never saw Jason Lee really besides a few old vids, now I get the hype he is a legend, such an uncommon cool dude.

[@MatthewJBRO]

Git git yeah

[@jafrocubic2]

M. JUSTIN BROMANN coach!

[@BoaRDDuDE630]

Jason Lee should totally come out from the shadows and film a part.

[@yellowmagicdog3350]

agreed!

[@JarretBerry]

sickest free lunch. jason lee invented tre flips. "dune" chris pastras' oldschool name talkin bout inspired skateboarding. so true...young or old all skateboards think alike!!! im 38, retired pro and still skating. but miniramps are more ergonomic nowadays! ;)

[@vvNKRSofficial]

The Stereosound videos are amazing

[@Axiomaticness]

Love these!

[@djanigav]

Fucking awesome interview. Love these interviews with the older guys, me being one and growing up watching these guys. Bones Brigade documentary was sick too.

[@nathanstahl1]

This fucking ruled. Best one in a while.

[@jonsnow4358]

[@bte1024]

[@IRatatatI]

If ever a time machine is invented in my life time, I will use it to go back to that session where Chris and Jason met.

[@TESLAac130]

Man I fuckin love Jason Lee.

[@Jimmy-oq9zq]

I remember way back Pastras competing at the Brooklyn Banks . I think i twas early Shut days. That kid was nice.

[@ShoryaBoneless]

"My names is earl" hahaha best show!

[@shoheikobayashi]

Good choice on the Nate Jones 360 flip.

[@LocalHasbeen]

Mark Heintzman.. wow havent heard that name in years. Thanks Ride. Now I miss my Jason Lee cat in the hat board and the "Skinny little white boy rails" and the gizmo wheels.

[@someroadrunnerguy22]

I knew he looked familiar

[@alexcorona]

You failed to mention photographer, that's his main dig now and he's been doing it since before he skated.

[@shinitaisenpai9057]

since both have gotten older, Jason Lee is a dead ringer for my older brother, they're fucking doppelgangers

[@deo.strengthspan.project]

I love the Stereo aesthetic. Also, Ben Gore is friggin' ill. I wish I went through boards faster so I could buy more Stereo boards.

[@7word77]

[@Monkstar1]

Stereo needs to have a sub company that only sponsors skaters over 30. Suggested name - Stereold.

[@PjMartinskate123]

I hate to be "that guy" but Mullen invented them, Jason Lee added style and made them popular, it's sick that you still skate though!

[@CollinGill7]

Nate Jones 360 flip, thank you

[@vauxhall908]

NJ I remember Jason Lee had a thing for Dr. Suess both him and Criss were awesome Mike V the barn yard deck 1st double tail board than the world industry boards, Natas, Christian H, Ed Templeton,Mark Gonz, Lance Mountain, MIke McGill just for the McTwist The whole Bones Brigade Animal Chin Jay Adams Olmar H. JINX, Gator, Rodney M. so many great skater I'm forgetting so many I should have never stopped skating even when I was in my 20's frm 9 when I got my first pro deck it was a powell skull and sword used off my cousin brice I have a unmarked Ray Barbey old school deck I loved hen they made blanks we'd get them and borrow the pro decks copy the shapes go home grab a jig saw router you made your own pro model that was cool you could play with the concave till you had the nose and tail you wanted I dont think they sell'em like that anymore all the shops closed down around here a lady tried to open one in maplewood nj for her sons and friends it bombed

[@LAX5x5]

I know they're one in the same person, but I got to say, skater Jason Lee is so much cooler than actor Jason Lee.

[@JarretBerry]

and skaters used to always be punks...looked gay, wore neon clothes, had long bangs and got called names for being different. never gave a fuck. Bravo u guys. TO ALL SKATEBOARDERS, KEEP UP THE TRADITION!! :)
