Ben Nordberg Wants a Set of Wheels For a Penis

Ben likes his sushi top-knotch, his lattes sweet, and his women even sweeter! I met Ben a few years back, and since then he has impressed me with his relentless quest to just be himself. He was ripped apart in the van and ridiculed to no end, and he took it all in his stride. Nothing fazed him and I really respect that. He has grown on the board and off. I am very proud of his passion for skateboarding and his loyalty and respect for Flip. Enjoy these pictures people. Sexiest Man out there right now!

VICE: Hello, Ben.
Ben: What’s up?

You’re from a place called Bath. Where the fuck is that?
About an hour and a half west of London.

How long until you move to Hollywood?
It depends on my visa, but if all goes smoothly, hopefully by the end of July.

Besides the skating, what else is there for a young man to do in Hollywood?
If I’m not skating, I’m usually hanging out at a pool somewhere during the day and then venturing out to some kind of disco in the evening.

How’s the babe watching out there? Do the girls in Bath dress as slutty as the girls in Hollywood?
Babe levels are high in Hollywood. Girls in Bath think they are classy, but most of them dress like shit.

Is Bath a pretty conservative place?
Yeah, it’s pretty middle class. It’s a really nice place to grow up, but I wouldn’t recommend moving there unless you have a lot of money and a family.

Have any skaters come through there and scared the locals?
Nah, everyone who comes through tends to be rad, which is normally the way in skating.

Really? I tend to think of skaters as a rowdy bunch.
I think they are a pretty mellow bunch, honestly.

What is the mellowest thing you have ever witnessed a skater do?
Haha, smoke a joint? That’s pretty mellow, right?

Speaking of weed, can we talk about your mom’s Rasta boyfriend?
Oh boy. Umm… I guess so. I’m not sure if she will be too hyped on it though.
