HUMP DAY MAKES BAD DECISIONS WITH KEVIN COURT
When I first met Kevin his freshman year, I knew that this kid was borderline insane. I got the privilege to live with him for my senior year at Plymouth in a hellhole of a house we named the Dojo. With the bathroom door off its hinges and permanently-sticky beer soaked floors, we watched him make hilariously awful decisions night after night. In the mornings we’d all drive to Loon still a little drunk from the night before and watch Kevin backflip off of everything he could. – Paul Osborne

Home mountain?The giant Nashoba Valley. I lived five minutes down the street growing up so I was there every day possible.
Word. You grew up riding with Zach Normandin, right? How pumped are you for him for having his first part in the new Volcom movie Mr. Plant?Yeah I saw little Zach aka War Beetle slaying the 15-foot tabletop that Nashoba had since he was 11. Pretty sure one time I saw him land a 1440 no grab hahaha. Seeing his name in Mr. Plant makes me so proud to be a good friend of Zach’s. I always knew War Beetle was a prodigy.
So you’re pretty well known as the Gravedigger, care to tell us how you got your nickname?It was my freshman year and I’m pretty sure I wasn’t even in the room but Dave Steigerwald, Chase Chicoine and Nate Powers were watching a monster truck jam on T.V. and they said, “I wonder if this is what goes on in Kevin’s head?” Then they’re like, “yeah he’s kind of like Gravedigger when he loses a wheel and just keeps going.” So that’s how that started.

Word. Well living at The Dojo with you was definitely interesting to say the least. Do you have any good stories that you can remember from that?There are so many good stories, I don’t know.
Why don’t you tell us the story of D7?No haha

What’s the most interesting thing you’ve ever done with a slice of cheese?Put it on my dick and had a girl suck it off.
So you have a face half-made of metal, how did that happen?So it’s my sophomore year on Cinco de Mayo and I got fucking wrecked. I smashed my face off of the tailgate of a truck, then I smashed it off of the edge of an oven, and then after that I kind of showed the cops my cock and my buddy Dave Agan didn’t really like that so he decided to punch me in the face while he was tripping on acid. So it was a whole fucking mess.
So there’s a bunch of reasons why your face is metal that all happened in one day.I think it all happened in probably 4 hours haha

Were you stoked or bummed out when Skylar made the Kevin Court Experience a hidden feature in Holy Smokes?I don’t know if I was stoked or bummed out. I definitely wasn’t bummed out. I was just like, “holy shit, this is fucked.”
Yeah, seeing your face hammered on the big screen was hilariousYeah that was insane.
What goes through your head before you send boardslide backflips off of rails in contests?The last thing I remember is nothing.

We were all egging you to throw a double at Last Call a few years ago. You almost had it first try but 2nd try you got murked off. Are you ever going to redeem yourself and let Gravedigger have his name on the double flip list?
One day I will land it.
One day I will land it.
Have you ever gotten the boot from a mountain for being too drunk?Yep. Loon Mountain.
I still have the Snapchats from that.Yeah, that day was sick. hahaha

I was working the airbag when Chase and Chloe come down and say, “Kevin’s hammered right now whipping his dick around. Don’t let him hit the airbag” hahaHahahaha yeah. I think I peed off the side of the hip that day. Which I didn’t think was a big deal but it was right next to the gondola so that was a bad idea.
Yeah I heard they weren’t too happy about that.Nah, ski patrol was trying to catch me but they couldn’t get me.
So what’s up with your RAW sponsorship?I like pranks a lot. I got pranked pretty good. I think it was Cole Atencio. He got me real good.
