Juice Magazine, Skeleton Key Mfg and The Loud Ones present this original interview series, “In The Van” by punker skate rockers, the Loud Ones, as they motor through the country and temporarily kidnap interesting characters in their renovated touring machine while sedating them with beers and questions. Today’s episode features the original Loud One, Fred Smith.

“Keep on, what it is that you dig. Do it cuz you dig it, and keep on… Fred Smith, that’s right, doing it… Whatever it is, and Freddie does. What Freddie does, so easily. By chance, nah, by passion, and Heart. That’s what separates the good from the ? ? ? It’s all Good… and then some…” – Steve Olson

“Freddie was the first skater I met that had tats. The Loud Ones showed up at the Ocean Bowl for a contest driving a big old Pontiac. Fred worked on cars at the time, so they always made it somehow. We became friends instantly. He spent a summer living at my house. My mom welcomed him like another son. Everybody tried to be like Freddie. He’s got a lot of charisma. He sold more boards than anyone. Lots of style, just ripped it up. I was the third person he tattooed and, from there, a tattoo artist was born. All around good dude. We had many good times…We recruited victims to tat off the boardwalk at nite. Skated all day. Good times.” – Josh Marlowe
