Under the Radar: Justin Clement
Photos Xeno
As far as skating goes, there are a lot of kids who are really good at
skating one specific thing, rails, drops, manuals, etc. But the ones that stand out are kids like Justin who manage to make the best out of any spot he goes to. He's one of those kids that never complains about the ground, or the angle, or what’s going on around him, he'll just barge whatever, whenever, no matter how cold out it is, and that’s what makes him one of the better kids I've had the chance to skate and film with.

Justin, tell everyone how old are you and where you are from.
I'm 19 yrs old, from Dracut Massachusetts
Who's been hooking you up with product lately?
Adio shoes and Planet Earth clothing, but now its Krew and Supra, Krooked skateboards, and Coliseum skate shop
How’d you end up on Supra.
Well my rep Jason Clark went to some meeting in Cali, I called him for some Planet Earth gear he said he'd call me when he got back, and when he called he told me that he switched to Krew and supra. He gave me the option to stay with him or he'd switch me over to the new rep...Clark’s rad so I’m down for the change, so is Krew and Supra
Top five skaters of all time?
Danny Way, Marc Johnson, Mark Appleyard, Jamie Thomas, Pat Duffy
What’s your normal day of skating like with the Hadley crew?
Just straight missions to everywhere and so much footage it’s intense.
So after having your license for a while what made you finally man up and get a car?
Yeah dude, I was being a bum and didn’t have a job for a while, then I
smartened up, got one, saved and got a car. You know how it goes, and gas prices completely suck
You’re not the only Clement in your family who’s good at skating your brother Jay is really good too, why are your both so damn good?
Uhh, I wouldn’t say where so damn good we just love to skate. Jay is the one that got me into it like 7 years ago and its so sick having a brother that skates...If no ones around you can just go skate with him like flat or something, it works out.
Now that you've finished filming for “Everyone’s Invited” have your been filming much?
Yeah I have been trying to film as much as I can while balancing that, working and the girl friend.
Are you going to have a part in Justin Hogan’s next video, “Hello Goodbye” or are you gonna' just stock pile footage?
I’m really not sure what’s with that. I would love to have a part I’d be so psyched, he said I can probably have a part and I have a good amount of footage...we'll see what happens
How far do you see skating taking you over the next few years?
Umm, I don’t really know how far but I’ll definitely be skating for a damn long time
Umm, I don’t really know how far but I’ll definitely be skating for a damn long time
When it's all said and done, what do you see yourself doing?...Still Skating?
Hell yeah, I’ll still skating there won't be an end to that...but I’ll definitely be doing a lot of fishing as well.
Any final words of advice?
Yeah man, go skate have fun, don’t stress it’s not worth it.
