Rob “Ohio” Green

Longboard Rider

Years skating

10 years or so on a Popsicle deck and around 7 on a longboard

Position at legit

Team Rider

Go-to setup

For a day on the hills I’ll take my Monon Dirwolf with Bear Kodiaks and Orangatang Kegels. If I’m just hanging in town I’ll rock my Monon street deck with thunders or Indys and some Orangatang Onsens

Would you rather fight one horse-sized duck or 100 hundred duck-sized horses?

I’m a lover not a fighter.

Preferred manufacturer for each aspect

Monon Board Co for the wood, Orangatang for the thane, and whatever I’ve got laying around for the metal parts (RIP REY).

Favorite place to skate

Well, I loveCalifornia and all… but Ohio has some gems and there’s nothing like skating your hometown roads. I also just moved into a house with a mini-ramp,

so that’s up there as well.

If you could skate with 1 person

from any time in human history, who would it be?

Michael Collins; the astronaut who went to the moon with Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong but had to stay in the ship. You KNOW that guy is down to drive some runs for you…

Favorite event

Central Mass was a total rip the year I went,

the local slide jam/push race “Gnarnia” is always a good time, but I have a feeling after I hit a Maryhill free ride that will top the list.

Favorite book

Anything with lots of pictures.

Favorite movie

Thrashin’

Worst Crash

Define “Worst.” I hit a car head on once and walked

away, broke my arm freeriding once, and got a bruise the size of a basketball on my hip after hitting a reflector in the road, but I swear sacking an A-frame rail at the skatepark was the worst in terms of pain.

What’s your dream deck, trucks, wheel, bearing set-up?

I’ve never been picky about gear, but I love my Monon Dirwolf and I want to snag some Voxters or Rogues one of these days.

Craziest skate story

Getting hit by cars, taking friends to the hospital, watching heavy tricks go down handrails, cops threatening arrest… One time some kids started a fire in the middle

of the skatepark and did tricks over it until cops shut it down.

Met_____while skating

Well, I never met him, but I skated the driveway of Keanu Reeves’ Hawaii vacation house when I was there.

Favorite part about riding for Legit Boardshop:

Having teammates all over the country, watching the team progress and grow, and skate trips with the homies!
