I haven't known Gary for too long but I, like most of San Diego, have always looked up to him. He's the finest representation of the San Diego shred scene, he's Mr. Nice Guy with that friendly to all smile that never ends... But underneath that smile hides a cynical raptor that's likely to attack when your guard is down. Don't let his video sections and bios fool you! He swears unlike contrary to popular belief, he can grow a mean beard and has the ability to melt your face off with multiple shred maneuvers. Some call him Busey, others call him The Juice Man, either way, you can count on him to make it juicy for ya!
Name: Gary B."usey" Young aka Juice Man
Age: 26
Years shreddin': 17
Sponsors: Vans, Sunday Bikes!, Odyssey, Action Village, Pro Tec and East County BMX.
Home is? San Diego
Where are you and what are you currently doing?
At home coughing up lung jype. Getting sick sucks.
This San Diego winter has been amazing so far but how have the waves been hittin'? Have you been catchin' barrels or catchin' bars lately?
I haven't surfed too much since I had knee surgery but riding has been awesome lately.
You recently gave your gorgeous mane away to Locks of Love, how long were you growing that bad boy out for? Who would you hope to be wearing your hair right now? Perhaps Danny Devito or Bruce Willis?
Growing my hair out took about two years. I just hope that whoever gets my hair doesn't keep getting the dreadlocks that I would get. Long hair is a lot of work.
It hasn't been too long since you had that double knee surgery, how do those knees feel before, during and after a session? Do you have a routine to keep your knees in check and healthy?
My knees have been treating me quite well. I suppose you could call it a routine, I just try to keep them strong and flexible.
What is "The Knee Club"? Where and how can kids sign up?
First rule of the knee club is to not talk about The Knee Club. No one actually wants to be in The Knee Club.
You recently made moves from Macneil to Sunday!, how's the move been thus far? What frame are you currently shreddin'? Should we expect any signature Gary Juicy frames or parts from Sunday! in the near future?
It has been really awesome! I'm currently riding a prototype with the 3rd generation of wave tubing technology. We're working on a new line of completes and my own frame to be coming out sometime next year.
You've traveled all over the world but where's a place you're trying to visit? Is this visit for leisure or for shreddin'?
I'm pretty much up for going anywhere, of course I'm biased to nice weather.
You recently became a certified open water diver, when and where are you lookin' to go diving next? Can I come? Can we ride dolphins?
I want to go check out some wreck dives. Of course man, bring your flippy floppies. We can ride dolphins as long as they are doing flips and $h1t.
On that note, can you list the top 3 priorities of a dolphin?
No, but I hear that a group of dolphins can produce WIFI.
**Editorial Note** The top 3 priorities of a dolphin in proper order are:
What are your current favorite parks or spots to shred in San Diego?
Clairemont YMCA, Dennis', ditches and schools.
What's your schedule looking like for 2010? Jam packed deluxe contest season?
I have a few contests scheduled but I have a bunch of trips that I'm really looking forward to. Also, we're going to start filming for a video pretty soon...
How stoked are you for the upcoming Christmas shopping season? Any New Year's resolutions you can fill us in on?
I'm just thankful that my family and friends are healthy for the most part. My New Year's resolution is to keep better track of my financials and stay out of the hospitals.
Will you ever leave San Diego?
Life is a crazy ride so you never know but if I leave, hopefully I will come back.
Any last words?
Have fun and shred gnar!
