Who are you and who do you ride for?

John William Lupfer, I'm 19 years old, and I ride for the Stereo Sound Agency, Osiris Shoes, Pig Wheels, Ezekiel Clothing, and Utility Boarshop

2007 was a good year for you. I believe you turned am for Stereo, Osiris, Pig, and Ezekiel. How has that changed things?

Yea it's been a good year, the biggest change is that I've been traveling alot more lately, and just meeting and skating with alot of new people.



What’s your favorite place you’ve been to so far?


Ezekiel and Blind did a little trip to Hawaii a few months ago that I got to go on. That one was probably the most fun so far. I'd never been there before, except once when I was too young to remember. Everyone had a good time, we got a good amount of skating done, and we weren't on any sort of hectic schedule for the most part.

What’s a normal day like for Agent PQ?

Well, I actually have a part time job working for my dad, so if it's Monday through Thursday I go to work in the morning and then I usually have a few hours afterwards to go skate. On the weekends, I sleep in and then go skate all day.



As far as skateboarding goes, who are you inspirations?


I like watching guys like Caswell and Louie and all the Enjoi dudes pretty much, those guys don't seem to take themselves too seriously and they look like they're having a good time on a skateboard.

What kinda music keeps you rollin?

Really depends what I'm feelin that day, its totally random. A lot of hip hop, Big L has been on repeat in the car for a minute now. I've been listening to the blues a little bit lately too, older stuff like Taj Mahal. But sometimes I'll throw a curveball and toss in a Judas Priest CD, you never know.

You just recently got back from Tampa, how was that?
I heard you got dead last.


Haha yep... guess you could say contests just aren't my thing, I think I lost to people that didn't even show up!



I know you just had an Osiris part out not too long ago, are you currently working on any other video projects?

Yea I’ve got plenty to keep me busy, The Stereo video is supposed to come out later this year, so I’m filming for that, and Osiris might do a tour video around the same time.

Alright John, that’s all I got, is there anyone you’d like to thank?
Any last words?


Thanks to my family, Cuong and Fitz at Osiris, Pastras, Bryan, Kevin and everyone else at Stereo, Eric at Pig, Mikendo at Ezekiel, Mike, Ernie, Esteve and everyone at Utility in Del Mar, and everyone else who's helped me out in any way.. THANKS!
