The Truth on Beggs

So I thought it would be a great idea to interview another OG of scootering. He is a HUGE name in our sport and this is what he had to say:

Mr. Style himself, first off, how does one get to looking as good as you? What is the daily A.M. routine?

- well children it doesnt take much... i wake up, bake up, and go ride. i love to sleep in past noon. im not very stylish when it comes to fashion. ive always been a hesh scooter dude. thrasher as fuck. hit up the park. if im not hurtin by the end of the day... it wasnt a good ride sesh. everyone in cali knows me for eating shit. getting back up and going for it again. i beat the ramps. they dont beat me.

There has been A LOT of hype going around the internet about how you switched sponsors from TSI to ProRide, along with a lot of people bashing this new sponsor. What exactly is ProRide all about and are they a legitimate company? Also, what is better about ProRide versus TSI?

- well i have been friends with KC for quite sometime... after sd4 when stan left the team i was picked up from them to fill the void. it was a fun little deal... but i never felt apart of a team. dont get me wrong the way sponsors work in scootin is its basically a flow sponsorship, but when my buddy tanner markley talked me into riding for a local team with my friends, plus the opportunity to make scootin my job. how could i pass that up? proride is legit, they just got off to a bad start. give us a chance and we can win your hearts <3  

Some people know you as one of the biggest party animals in the scooter industry. Always at raves and going crazy. Why don't you let people know exactly what you are all about when it comes to drugs, legal or illegal.

- you better believe it. i get DOWN. ill party harder than any of you scoot kids. and when your passin out, ill keep going, TRY ME. everyone knows i love to blaze. but believe it or not i see weed as beneficial to me. i got diagnosed with ADD and anxiety and was put on various medications... none seemed to work like weed did. it slows my brain down when its going 150 mph. as for other drugs, yes i admit i did fall off for a little bit, but the way i looked at it... i never used a drug for the high it delivers, but an experience. im glad i never fell into real hard drugs, never tried em. im somewhat of a hippie, a fan of psychedelics. theres nothing wrong with expanding your mind and thinking things a little different. and i do NOT advise anyone to try these. its a personal choice. im glad to say i been trying to clean my shit up and sticking to the natural green stuff ;)

What is scooter riding really all about in your eyes? Have you ever felt like quitting?

- i lost a lot of my scoot friends when i got into the whole "raving" scene cuz they felt i lost it. yet i rode everyday, ALONE cuz no one would wanna sesh with me. it never stopped me from wanting to ride, and i know who my real friends are from it. i cant really hang out with scoot kids, most are just wierd and lame. when i go to the park, i chill with the skaters and bikers. but i will promote scootin. i love the sport, but you kids need to grow up if you wanna become mainstream. stop all the gay remarks and hugs galore for best trick winners. ill knock you out if you try to hug me or play grab ass. be real homies.

BRO SHOT!!!

And last but certaintly not least, is there anything we can expect from Mr. Beggs in the future of scootering?

- this next year we have a lot planned for proride, maybe a little business plan i have going myself. so be ready. you can expect a lot of crazy shit, a lot of crashes. scootin is my passion. i hope that i can stay involved when im too crippled to ride. i hope the sport gets to a level where i can make a career out of this. i wanna learn some business aspects to keep going cuz i dont know anything else but scootin. its my full-time lifestyle. i wanna see full feature films and scoot shops all over the county. maybe start my own crew one day. hate me or love me, but you wont be getting rid of me anytime soon.

Well if you couldn't tell those words were straight from the heart and soul of Jason Beggs then you are crazy. Thank you Jason, you're my boy, and see you at SD5 brutha <3
