Troy West: It's huge in Australia. It's part of our everyday life. My dad actually taught me how to do it when I was a kid.And so you brought it to Europe?
I was on tour in Austria, and this other skater, Frido, asked me if I would drink my own piss for $136. So I explained that it's common practice in Oz, and I did it right there and then, and then again later by some lake in Italy. It took Frido a few days to master the art, though—he had a weak flow.Fast-forward to 3:45 if you want to see a skater drink his own peeIs there a deeper meaning behind it?
It's a pretty big statement. Try it and find the meaning yourself.Why do you think it’s so big in the skating community?
Skaters like to provoke reactions from laymen, I guess.Do people still tend to be shocked by this kind of stunt?
Fucking oath. I'm in a pub in Bolivia right now and just had to explain to this legendary skater Al Partanen what "bubbling" is. He was polite about it, thinks it's fucked for sure, but I have no doubt he will try it by the end of the trip.

Of course.Do you experiment with other bodily functions as well?
I personally don't. But an Austrian friend of mine once ate his own shit while taking a bath. The same guy also pissed on a security guard's sandwich at a Bad Brains concert.Thanks for the lowdown, Troy.
Bubble on!
