I First became aware of BA. KU. when Hesh Law came out. Living in the dreamworld of California, ironically, surrounded with skateboarding, I was unprepared a wholly unaware of the possibilities of a simple Jersey Barrier. So I had to know more, the contact was made and the words have become immortal. I present you to Depth Leviathan Dweller...

Can you explain in 666 words or less what is BA. KU.

BA. KU. IS THE MILITANT AND VICIOUS WORSHIP OF THE TIGHT TRANSITION ALTAR - THE BARRIER.  THE BLACK ARTS ARE USED TO KEEP THE CULTING MEMBERS IN LEAGUE WITH THE UNDERSTANDINGS AND THE ACT OF KNIFE (SHARPENED 10" X 30" PIG SHAPE NOSE AND TAIL) BARRIER RITUALS.  VIOLENT TRANSITION PURITY MAINTAINED THROUGH THE LAWS OF RITUAL BELIEF AND PRACTICE. COMPLETE WORSHIP OF THE EARLY 80s ELLIPTICAL TRANSITION MANIA - THE BARRIER AS VIOLENT REPRESENTATION.  777.

What is your current set-up?

10" X 30" SKULL SKATES DIEHARD, TRACKER DANFORTH SIXTRACKS, POWELL MINI-CUBICS, DEATHBOX 1/2" RISERS. 

Where are you located?

VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA.  THE SEA SERPENT CADBOROSAURUS LIVES OFF THE SHORES.  THE LORE OF THE TWO-HEADED SEA SERPENT SISIUTL.  THE DOGFISH.  THE SALMON SHARK. 

How many followers exist?

THERE ARE MANY FOLLOWERS WORLDWIDE, BUT ONLY 12 TITLED AND STRICT BA. KU. RITUAL FOLLOWERS.

Why choose the barrier?

THE MOST VIOLENT AND PROPAGANDA ACCESSIBLE ALTARS OF THE TIGHT TRANSITION ENTITY.  LIKE THE SHALLOW POOL FOLLOWERS OF THE LATE 70s AND EARLY 80s, THE JERSEY BARRIER / K-RAIL IS THE REPRESENTATION AND RITUAL ALTAR OF THE 'SKATEBOARDERS' UTILIZING THE FUCKING ASPHALT AND CONCRETE LANDS.  BA. KU. KNIFE CULTISTS.

Please reminisce on your first memory of a Jersey Barrier.

THE INTERIOR OF BRITISH COLUMBIA - THE USE OF THE BARRIER TO REPLICATE THE EARLY 80s QUARTERPIPE, BUT WITH A VIOLENT SENSE OF PURITY AND REALITY. FOR DEER MAN OF DARK WOODS; HE UTILIZED NATURE, THE ROOTS, THE TRUNKS TO REPLICATE THE TIGHT TRANSITION BARRIER. 

How does the ski-mask supplement the rippage?

THE BARRIER KULT THEMES OF ANONYMITY PLAY A MASSIVE ROLE IN THE FEARSOME MANDATE OF NOT RELYING ON INDIVIDUALITY OR SO-CALLED 'CREATIVE' / 'THE SKATEBOARDER AS ARTIST' TENDENCIES THAT PLAGUE THE 'SKATEBOARD' WORLD NOW IN IT'S GRAND SCHEME.  IT IS NOT 'CREATIVE' TO DO THE SAME TRICK ON A DIFFERENT 'LEDGE' IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY; YOUR MANDATE AND VIOLENCE SHOULD COME FROM ALTAR WORSHIP.  EMBRACING THE POWERFULLY LINEAR FACT THAT YOU ARE COLDLY SUBJECTING INANIMATE OBJECTS WITH STEEL AND WOOD KNIFING - AND YOUR PLAGUE VISION SUDDENLY ASCENDS. 

What is your opinion on skatewax?

BLOOD SHAVING DOES NOT INVOLVE 'WAX'.  THE BA. KU. HAS BEEN KNOWN TO DRAG THE AXLES FOR LIP CLEANSING. 

Random word, coper.

"JONNY RAY AT THE WEST LA MARBLE BANKS 1980's." - PD

TRI-FIN BAT TAIL CULTING.

Do you prefer a barrier that has been modified with cement or do you

like a natural object?

THE NATURAL OBJECT IS OPTIMUM, BUT IF A BARRIER IS FIXED - IT MUST STILL CAPTURE THE ORIGINAL VIOLENCE OF THE ABRUPT TRANSITION.  WE HAVE SEEN SOME BARRIERS THAT SIMPLY ACT AS A FUCKING RETAINING WALL FOR A CONCRETE FREESTYLE BANK.  ASCENDED BA. KU. PURISTS WILL HAMMER THEMSELVES INTO THE KNIVES OF THE K-RAIL BARRIER, BUT SOME WILL DO SLIGHT 'FIXES' TO GAIN THE DARK, PLAGUED STATE OF THE TAILBLOCK, EDGER, OR SLASH GRIND. 

What do you think of those plastic barriers that kids carry around and

put down stairs?

THE BARRIER KULT HAS NO INTEREST IN WHAT GLORIFIED FREESTYLE 'TRICKS' THAT SOME PARTICIPATE IN, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PLASTIC BARRIER SHAPED OBJECTS ARE REGULARLY FREESTYLE HOPPED ONTO WITHOUT EXPERIENCING THE MAGNITUDE OF A TRUE BARRIER'S INHERENT TRANSITION VIOLENCE. 

That footage in the Creature video was quite intense. Would you

consider that an average day?

THE 'VIDEO' FOOTAGE IS EDITED IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT EXACTS THE PROPAGANDA FROM THE REPEATED BARRIER RITUALS.  THIS CAN ALSO BE SEEN IN THE ORIGINAL HORDE VIDEO, VARIOUS DMODW PARTS, AND THE LATEST PART INCLUDED ON THE EMERICA 'STAY GOLD' BARRIER KULT SECTION IN THE EXTRAS OF THE DVD.  IN REALITY, THE BARRIER KULT RITUALS ARE VERY DRAWN OUT AND FILLED WITH PLAGUE AS WE SICKEN OURSELVES WITH THE BLACK DEATH.  THE CIRCLES ARE DRAWN AND THE KNIVES ARE SPREAD ACROSS THE ANGLES OF THE VIOLENT TRANSITIONS.  THE POWERFUL AND VICIOUS ASCENSION CONTINUES LONG INTO THE DARK HOURS. 

Would you rather skate at night or skate in day?

THE BA. KU. RELEGATES IT'S ACTIONS TO BOTH NIGHT AND DAY.  THE DAY PROVIDES VISION SO THAT YOU CAN WITNESS THE SEA SERPENT, THE CREATURES OF WOODLAND LORE, THE OMINOUS MOUNTAINS THAT SURROUND AND CALL TO BE ASCENDED INTO OBLIVION.  THE NIGHT CREATES AN ATMOSPHERE WHERE THE HORDES CAN DIRECT THE LIGHT TOWARD THE ALTARS, THE KNIFE PRACTICES, THE FURTHER SPREADING OF PLAGUE. 

How long does it take to hit axle?

WHEN CARVING THE BLOOD STONE, ONE CAN HIT AXLE REGULARLY - PROMPTING THE PLAGUED AND BLACKENED BONE TO SOMETIMES BEND AND BREAK - MARKING WITH BLOOD THE REALITY OF THE RITUAL ACT AND ITS EVENTUAL KNIFING POWER. 

How does an object that is meant to save lives end up changing lives?

THE BARRIER HAS BEEN TURNED INTO AN ALTAR VIA THE BARRIER KULT AND IT'S PARALLEL BLACK ARTS STRATEGIES THAT MAINTAIN THE RITUAL MANIA.  THE BARRIER'S INITIAL ACT OF VEHICLE MANIPULATION SECURELY BUILDS THE BARRIER INTO A COMMONPLACE OBJECT OF WORSHIP; WHICH IN TURN CONSTANTLY DRIVES THE PROPAGANDA MACHINE OF THE BARRIER KULT PLAGUE. 

What is some of the music you listen too?

EXCLUSIVELY BLACK WAR METAL: 

SARCOFAGO, MYSTIFIER, BLASPHEMY, BEHERIT, INQUISITION, BLACK WITCHERY, CONQUEROR (TO NAME JUST A FEW).  ANY BARRIER KULT PRACTICES PALE IN COMPARISON TO THESE TRUE BLACK WAR METAL HORDES' RITUALS.

How does music effect the skating mood?

BLACK WAR METAL IS A PRIMARY DRIVE THAT KEEPS THE BARRIER KULT PSYCHOLOGICALLY IN CONGRUENCE WITH THE TRUE VIOLENT ADVANCE AND MEANING BEHIND SPREADING THE PLAGUE VIA BARRIER KNIFE RITUAL AND WORSHIP.  AGAIN, THE BARRIER KULT WORSHIPS THE ORIGINAL BLACK WAR METAL HORDES AND THE BA. KU. PRACTICES ARE BUT A SHADOW IN THE MIDST OF THESE TRUE BLACK WAR METAL BANDS. 

How did you get involved with Skull Skates?

THE BARRIER KULT HAS ALWAYS RESPECTED THE DARK AND HARDCORE CAPACITY OF SKULL SKATES.  ALSO BEING FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA AND SEEING THEIR PURE BLACK AND WHITE CORE PARTICIPATION IN THE SKATEBOARD WORLD OF 1980s CALIFORNIA, WE ALWAYS SAW SKULL SKATES AS THE MOST FEARSOME OF COMPANIES.  THEIR "JET BLACK DEAD WHITE" SLASHING AND HARDCORE BEING THROUGHOUT THE 80s WITH HACKETT, OLSON, J-RAY, PETERS, CARLOS LONGOS, ETC. SPARKED THE IMAGINATION OF THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF THE BARRIER KULT VERY EARLY IN OUR 'SKATEBOARD' ACTIONS.  WE FOUND THAT THE SKULL SKATES FOUNDER PD WAS INTERESTED IN THE GOINGS-ON OF THE BARRIER KULT AND WE EVENTUALLY BECAME ALLIES OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.  THE BARRIER KULT COULD NOT BE MORE PLEASED WITH HAVING A FEW OF ITS MEMBERS' DECKS AND THE RITUAL ALTAR OF A 10" X 30" BA. KU. DIEHARD DECK MADE IN CANADA BY SKULL SKATES.

So wrapping this thing up, what does the future hold for Depth

Leviathan Dweller?

MORE WORK WITH SKULL SKATES, EMERICA.  MORE WRITINGS, GENERATION OF PATCHES, CLOTHING, ETC. 

TAILBLOCKING, EDGING, SLASHING - WWI BAYONET WORK. 

BA. KU. MILITANCE.
