Or, that&amp;#8217;s what his Myspace says. If 24 is old. Which means a lot of people I know are dinosaurs. He&amp;#8217;s actually 19, though, and good enough to be on Plan B. And be in &lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hallelujah. I&amp;#8217;m not too old to understand that. So, we caught up with him about all the changes.&lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You just got on Plan B, huh?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nYeah dude, it was a pretty serious decision. It was hard for me to make, but I just saw an opportunity there, so I took it.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did everything with Almost end?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nAlmost was sick. I had so many opportunities with them and so much potential. It was great riding for them. Everyone on the team was my friend, so it made it that much harder for me to leave, you know? But, everyone took it well.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You felt like it was the best decision for your skating?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nYeah. It just sucked, because Daewon [Song] helped me out, especially the past three years\\u2014even before that\\u2014backing me with DVS. Our friendship grew so much, so it was really hard to make that call to him out of the blue. But, he understood. He just wanted to make sure that I was taken care of. I\\u2019ll always be there for Daewon. We\\u2019ll always be friends.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;object width=\\\"600\\\" height=\\\"385\\\" data=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.youtube.com\\/v\\/fQZFyY2HZ7Y&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;amp;color2=0x6b8ab6\\\" type=\\\"application\\/x-shockwave-flash\\\"&gt;&lt;param name=\\\"allowFullScreen\\\" value=\\\"true\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;param name=\\\"allowscriptaccess\\\" value=\\\"always\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;param name=\\\"src\\\" value=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.youtube.com\\/v\\/fQZFyY2HZ7Y&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;amp;color2=0x6b8ab6\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;param name=\\\"allowfullscreen\\\" value=\\\"true\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/object&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;(&lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.youtube.com\\/watch?v=fQZFyY2HZ7Y\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;Clip link&lt;\\/a&gt;)&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is it kind of a big change to be on a team with guys like P-Rod and Sheckler?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nYeah, I\\u2019ve known Paul growing up skating around the Valley. We used to skate and chill when we were younger and that\\u2019s what made it so appealing. I mean, when Paul asked me to skate for them, it was pretty cool to know he wanted me on the squad\\u2026 same with all the other guys, like Sheckler and Colin McKay. It was still a big move. I had to think about it a lot. But, in the end, I did what made sense to me.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It\\u2019s crazy to think of the arc of your career now. I mean, you were on Shorty\\u2019s and then on Alien Workshop flow, right?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nYeah, for at least a year.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Was that when you went to Almost?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nAfter Alien, I floated around, getting boards from Chocolate for a couple months and then Daewon hit me up. He hit me up before that, around the time I left Shorty\\u2019s, but I had something lined up with Alien, so I wanted to stay loyal\\u2014not hop around. It didn\\u2019t work out the way I saw it in my head though. When I got on Almost, a lot blew up for me. It put a lot of focus on me, and that\\u2019s what Daewon wanted for me. Now, it just got to that point where I had to spread my own wings.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, what\\u2019s the next thing on your plate?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nJust build myself into that family and build my friendship with Colin McKay, Danny Way and the rest of the team. Then, that video\\u2019s gonna come out probably next year some time\\u2014I\\u2019m not certain when.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They\\u2019re doing a promo thing, right?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nI\\u2019m pretty sure. I\\u2019m not really positive. I heard they are.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Forgot you just got on.&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n[Laughs] Yeah. For now, I\\u2019ve just been focusing on the TransWorld video [&lt;em&gt;Hallelujah&lt;\\/em&gt;].&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;object width=\\\"600\\\" height=\\\"385\\\" data=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.youtube.com\\/v\\/jSrp3K0Amhc&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;amp;color2=0x6b8ab6\\\" type=\\\"application\\/x-shockwave-flash\\\"&gt;&lt;param name=\\\"allowFullScreen\\\" value=\\\"true\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;param name=\\\"allowscriptaccess\\\" value=\\\"always\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;param name=\\\"src\\\" value=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.youtube.com\\/v\\/jSrp3K0Amhc&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;amp;color2=0x6b8ab6\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;param name=\\\"allowfullscreen\\\" value=\\\"true\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/object&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;(&lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.youtube.com\\/watch?v=jSrp3K0Amhc\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;Clip link&lt;\\/a&gt;)&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some of your Almost footage might go to &lt;em&gt;Hallelujah&lt;\\/em&gt;, right?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nUm, yeah, some of it. Then, the rest of it is kind of getting old. But, nothing\\u2019s gonna go to waste at all. I\\u2019m stoked. This is kind of my first video part where I\\u2019ve actually gone out and tried to film with deadlines and everything. I\\u2019m pumped. I got hurt filming, but that made me even more psyched, because I was like, \\u201cI gotta get better, dude,\\u201d and had a whole regimen\\u2026 like, \\u201cI gotta practice for Tampa and then go straight back to the TransWorld video again.\\u201d That\\u2019s the program I\\u2019m on. Then, I\\u2019m going straight into the Plan B video.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I heard you were more than happy to focus on &lt;em&gt;Hallelujah&lt;\\/em&gt;, because you didn&amp;#8217;t have to travel a whole bunch.&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nExactly.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You don\\u2019t like to get out of the Valley anymore?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nI did when I was younger, but now I just wanna kick it\\u2014be an old man and sit on my couch. Be a grandpa.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It gets like that, like \\u201cI could go out right now, or drink a beer on my couch.\\u201d&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nReally, I still like going new places, but not the same ones over and over, you know? Filming in LA\\u2019s been great.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It&amp;#8217;s funny you don&amp;#8217;t want to travel very much, because I got your age wrong recently in last issue&amp;#8217;s Home Page\\u2014made you older than you are&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;. Maybe I mistook your desire to stay home with being older. Sorry about that.&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n[Laughs] Oh no, it\\u2019s all good. I wasn\\u2019t mad or anything. It\\u2019s just that it\\u2019s happened before with the Maloof contest and some other stuff. Maloof put it on three different TV stations\\u2014just off\\u00a0 my Myspace profile. The age on there says I&amp;#8217;m 24.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;object width=\\\"600\\\" height=\\\"385\\\" data=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.youtube.com\\/v\\/8URke1E_t3A&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;amp;color2=0x6b8ab6\\\" type=\\\"application\\/x-shockwave-flash\\\"&gt;&lt;param name=\\\"allowFullScreen\\\" value=\\\"true\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;param name=\\\"allowscriptaccess\\\" value=\\\"always\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;param name=\\\"src\\\" value=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.youtube.com\\/v\\/8URke1E_t3A&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;amp;color2=0x6b8ab6\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;param name=\\\"allowfullscreen\\\" value=\\\"true\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/object&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;(&lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.youtube.com\\/watch?v=8URke1E_t3A\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;Clip link&lt;\\/a&gt;)&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I got it off your profile with the intention of double-checking it and then got distracted by everything else I was working on. Blowing it.&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n[Laughs] I thought it was pretty funny. It\\u2019s funny, because it\\u2019s not just the Myspace. Everyone thinks I\\u2019m a lot older than I am. But, I&amp;#8217;m only 19.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It just feels like you&amp;#8217;ve been around forever\\u2014back into the shorty&amp;#8217;s days even. It\\u2019s like you\\u2019re seasoned in years, but should be a rookie based on your age.&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nI don\\u2019t want to sound like \\u201cI\\u2019ve been here all along!\\u201d or nothin\\u2019, but I see dudes coming up and I\\u2019m like, \\u201cWhere did these guys come from?\\u201d Just living here, I\\u2019ve been through the struggle and been around for a while. Dudes pop up and I wonder where they were seven years ago. Like, \\u201cWhy didn\\u2019t I see them skating around LA?\\u201d It&amp;#8217;s cool, but it&amp;#8217;s just funny because I guess I feel like I&amp;#8217;ve been around forever, too [laughs].&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seasoned and young&amp;#8230; might be two reasons you made it onto Plan B.&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nYeah&amp;#8230; I guess so.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\\"text-align: center;\\\"&gt;&lt;em&gt;See Torey&amp;#8217;s Plan B welcome vid &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.planbskateboards.com\\/tv\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;here&lt;\\/a&gt;.&lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span itemprop=\\\"video\\\" itemscope itemtype=\\\"http:\\/\\/schema.org\\/VideoObject\\\"&gt;&lt;meta itemprop=\\\"name\\\" content=\\\"newsHIT Interview: Pudwill on Plan B\\\"&gt;&lt;meta itemprop=\\\"thumbnailURL\\\" content=\\\"http:\\/\\/skateboarding.transworld.net\\/wp-content\\/blogs.dir\\/440\\/files\\/2010\\/03\\/pudwill.jpg\\\"&gt;&lt;meta itemprop=\\\"description\\\" content=\\\"We caught up with Torey Pudwill to find out about his switch to Plan B, split with Almost,\\\"&gt;&lt;meta itemprop=\\\"uploadDate\\\" content=\\\"2010-03-17T09:35:34-07:00\\\"&gt;&lt;meta itemprop=\\\"embedURL\\\" content=\\\"https:\\/\\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\\/v\\/fQZFyY2HZ7Y\\\"&gt;&lt;meta itemprop=\\\"duration\\\" content=\\\"PT40S\\\"&gt;&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
