Love & Hate With Sam Sutton

Sam Sutton, a skater part of the notorious Pass~Port squad, seems like the kind of guy you’d wanna have a beer with.
I’ve never actually met Sam but I can assume that based on the fact he lists the Crix as his go to pub. So maybe actually I have met him and I just didn’t even know it. Nah, nah, nah. He seems like too nice of guy to have that happen. Not someone you’d meet in the line, have a meaningless conversation with and forget their name by the time you order your 15th beer. Or maybe it was because I ordered fifteen beers. Honestly who cares at this point. Sam is great and this is what he loves and hates.
Love
Taylor Square, my favourite place on earth.
Crix, my first pub, been going there for years.
Zordans Bay, favourite beach, second favourite place on earth.
North Indian, it’s cheap, right next to the square on Oxford Street and it is mental. A life saver.
Welding, I used to work in metal fabrication and now I have my own machine I’ve made some nice furniture, love making stuff but don’t get to do it enough. Wish I had the space.
Tooheys new, favourite beer. Used to cop shit for it now everyone wants a piece.
Pass~Port, very thankful for Trent and Passy. Mental team full of the best people and skateboarders ever. Just recently went to LA and the video ‘Trinket’ came out of that, had the best possible time I could of had with the lads. Met a heap of really razor people over there and loved it.
Music, been listening to less emo music and more Aussie drill at the moment. Can’t help myself, it’s mental.
Benihanas.
My friends/ family, same thing.
Hate
Fuck real estate agents.
Fuck ticket inspectors, you gotta be a special type of gronk to do either of those jobs. Shit answers but they’ve been pissing me off lately.
Sydney rent.
Bar Cleveland, you know your crending if you end up there.
My wars, not the videos the two gabbers my wars should be at the top of the love list actually, but I can’t land shit without having a my war.
Crix, it’s a love hate relationship.
When it’s not summer.
Frontside flips, I love them but I can’t do them for the life of me so I hate them.
New skate parks, why they got to try so hard? They are supposed to be fun I shouldn’t have to be scared to skate something there.. maybe I’m just washed.
Ogalo’s chicken shop, if you like Ogalos you obviously haven’t eaten chicken from Frangos or Broasters.
