Kr3w just hooked up with Kevin Romar for an interview over on their website. K-RO has been killing it lately and is getting pretty tight with Kr3w from the sounds of things. Romar talks about Call of Duty 4, his new part in Digital’s new film, Smoke and Mirrors, and a couple other tidbits. It’s a pretty short interview, but worth a peep as this kid is on the up-and-up and going to start popping pretty soon.

Despite what anyone thinks about Tony Hawk, it is undeniable that he’s been a driving force in skateboarding for a long time. He’s been at the forefront of innovation at times, and also responsible for bringing skateboarding into a mainstream crossover that the 80’s can not take credit for. He’s the spokesman for skateboarding while others just have a good life in street skateboarding or random magazine covers. The Birdman recently gave an exclusive interview for Birdhouse skateboards, which you can read here.
