Berra + Eric = The Berrics. Eric Koston and I created the Berrics for a million reasons. But they all boil down to one really. Survival. We just wanted to see skateboarding survive. We wanted a place for us to skate. We wanted to create a site where you could not only see what goes on every day with the pros you know and like, but also give you an opportunity to feel part of the skateboard community. We wanted a place where companies can be promoted, professionals can thrive, skateshops can sell, and people you've never heard of can become a household name. We're not trying to replace any of skateboarding's traditions, we just want to add to it. We wanted a place where everyone could have fun and keep skateboarding alive. We think it's working. We hope it is.
Interests
I like movies. I like seeing them. I like studying them. I like even the bad ones. Besides skateboarding I think movies are the only thing I'm passionate about. And someday, when these knees and ankles don't work, making movies will be what I'll do.

hey berra. i just wanted to say that you guys continue to get sicker and sicker, and really help people get noticed. Gatlyn blew up so fast after his recruit. You really help those skateboarders that deserve it get out there. Also, I think it's sick that you are doing the berrics unified. I was not able to afford the cost to do that, and our skate shop is actually closing in only a few days, but for the skate shops that can, I think it is sick, so thanks for caring about those independant skate shops. I hope all is well, enjoy your Christmas, and be blessed. peace.
Dude start by just saying your an Amazing Amazing rolemodel, and i really respect you plus i had a question for you. dude my moms sick and shes in the hospital, and i think she had that spots thing u had on her hands and feet are all swollen and bruised i just wanted to ask what you had... If thats possible
Hey, Berra. I know you've got to be getting like 1,000 comments on here a day, and you get a fuck-ton of emails too, but I just wanted to take a few minutes out of my 'oh so stressful' school day where I am doing.. well.. jack-shit to say thank you. Thank you for all you have done for skateboarding, and thank you for all you have done for the few 100,000 core skateboarders left around the world. I mean, I'm only 17, but I've been on a board since I was old enough to walk. I have a bunch of my dad's old skate magazines and I saw an ad in there of you doing a backside boardslide on an Ed Templton deck. Thank you again for all you have done. -Alex Hughes.
