I met Jordan over 4 years ago and we instantly got along. We both have a twisted sense of humor and get stoked on even the minutest things in life, like skating a red curb or eating a thick meal. I meet so many shallow, pissed off, bitter and spoiled skaters on the daily. It was a breath of fresh air to meet a cat like Jordan who does not complain about anything, ever. You could take him to the most rough, crappy, no roll up, little landing manual pad spot and he would have had just as much fun as your average cat in Barcelona. Jordan is Philosopher; he's up there with Societies and Aristotle. He is thankful for anything he gets and already has. He can crack you up no matter how down you feel. Sit back, relax and get ready to have science drop comedy and wisdom from the brain of the one and only, Jordan Hoffart.

NS: Being you are a Canadian who has access to proper medical care, free of charge, how do you handle medical insurance in the states? Do you pay for an HMO or just fly back home if anything goes wrong?

JH: I Get Medical through my VISA, my card, not the work one. I buy travel insurance through that. I just send them my flight itinerary and I get up to 60 days of coverage in the states with it, for 7 bucks a year or something like that.

NS: What happens if you stay in the states more than 60 days? Do you have to hope you do not get hurt, ill, etc?

JH: I have not put too much thought into that, there was one time when I went to the hospital here and I got a bill back in Canada. I was fully covered. I was younger then and still under my fathers' insurance so it might have been that, but I am sure the Government helps. Maybe I would wait a couple of days and buy a ticket, then go get it looked at and try to say I was only here for 60 days so I do not get hit up. I really did not put too much thought into it to be honest. LONG PAUSE. But there is the fact that they could catch you, like he was never on that flight or something so it might be in my best interest to just fly home.

NS: What is the performers union? Is it like S.A.G.?

JH: Years ago I did a bunch of back up work with, you know, Sluggo and Charmers?

They would hook me up great through the performers union. It was crazy how much money was in there, like anytime they needed a little dude for any stunt work they would just call me up and I handled it well. A lot of kids had big heads, as you can imagine in that industry. I just showed up, did my stunts and got out. I did not waste anybody's time or money on filler so I got a good rep and I kept getting calls. I was never good at acting, in fact I sucked, I am not going to claim Jason lee status. Get me in front of the camera and I am just as accrued as any dude, but the stunts were easy and fun. It was just like going out for a skate. It was hard to speak up to be like, I think I could work this into the part or make the script sound more feasible. I felt just like a monkey on strings, a full marionette.

JH: Drew, what's up man?

DD: Rad, you guys trying to ditch me? Hey Nate, is that thing on? Rad yo, lets get some food, I am hungry.

NS: Tell me about your Girl who lives in Japan.

JH: We met at the Olympics last year in February. We've been together for a year and half. We participated in the Winter Olympics, in Turino, Italy's, closing ceremonies. She is from Vancouver as well. She is a dancer and I was doing this weird...

Tracker Dan interposed: So did the closing ceremony close the deal?

JH: Yeah, Dan nailed it!

NS: So, did you drop in switch stance pad less the first night or was it strictly lip tricks?

JH: WHAT WAS THAT? No man, I am not telling you anything about that.

NS: If skaters were in the Olympics and hypothetically you were forced to enter and you won the gold, would you rock it in public like many Olympians have done?

JH: Is it made out real gold? I would melt it down and make it into a fork or a spoon to show my kid someday. Like when I am older and have kids, he or she has to do better to not worship material things, like yo, I won the gold medal and I made it into a fork or maybe I would just toss it out to show them how worthless things are in life. Like, maybe if I was one of those guys who trained for my whole life I would boast about it, but I am not a narcissist. I would not be that syked on the Olympic gold, I would make some art or a spoon or a grail or crown. Like maybe I would make it a reword like if one of my kids were being good they could rock the crown at the dinner table. Laughter. Like I would make them want to achieve higher goals for they know that the golden cup they are drinking from or the fork they are eating from was made from a gold medal.

NS: Speaking of advice and being humble, does Deville ever try to give you life advice or does he ask you about your 5 year plan?

JH: No he has mellowed out over the years. Deville has a lot of great ideas, he really does.

NS: Could he be classified as a dreamer?

JH: No, he takes the steps that he has to fulfill his goals, so he is not a dreamer. In his head it makes a bunch of sense, but to us it might not. But he has gotten a lot better on being preachy to people. He is one of my good friends, he has learned the politics of it now and he is handling business.

NS: What is your 5 year plan?

JH: Get my working visa set up. For next year, sell my house in Vancouver and buy some property here. Just to be able to flash the card and to not have to get stopped at the border and asked 50 questions. Paul Macunanow told me some funny stories how after you have that card you are on a pedestal and they just let you in and ask for the sticker for their kids.

NS: Do you ever worry that if you fully did shed your Canadian Citizenship and reloskate here that you would lose your universal health care and have to end up in the bucket of bills and endless threats from insurance companies to cancel you like us?

JH: Ummm. No, I guess it does scare me but I would hook it up through one of my sponsors.

NS: I am visa versa. I would love to shed my American bullshit to move up there just so I do not spend 115 bucks a month on health insurance. I've been trying to find a Canadian women to marry but they all hate me.

JH: No, they just got there guard up and they do not let people in as easy.

NS: So I knew you were acting for a bit and doing stunts as well. Why did you stop?

JH: That was fun. I had a ton of fun, I could go on about it but I will not say what films or how bad they were, just Google it.

NS: Okay, tell me about Jessica Biel?

JH: My lips are sealed.

NS: No, this is the corner stone of this interview. Tell me about the set of Blade 3 and you and her. Come on Jordan, no pussy footing around this. Do I need to buy you a few drinks first or do I have to beat it out of you?

JH: She is a very nice lady. That is all I will say.

NS: Did she make you sign a confidentiality agreement that you would not tell anybody how you dropped in switch stance pad less or busted any stail fish grabs or backside disasters on her mini ramp?

JH: Man, we should order. We really need food, right guys?

NS: No, did you at least get to bust an invert. Tell me man, do not change the subject.

JH: Pretty much we just worked together. She was a very nice girl.

NS: Look, this is the king pin of my interview and the bushings and pivot cups are coming later. The truck will not work unless you answer this question.

JH: Oh shit the king pin? Okay man. No pole jams, no speed cream, no melon grabs, not even a backside air or nose grab. We were just worked together.

NS: I find it hard to believe this with that smirk, but okay, next question. I had this dream I was Jason Jessie in '88 shredding the Fallbrook ramp. Huge f/s ollies, inverts, etc. If there was any skater, past, present or future you wish you could be morphed into just for one day to see what it is like to be able to skate like them, who would it be and why?

JH: Deawon Song. It would be so fun man. Just think how much fun you would have

if you could be morphed into being Daewon? It would be amazing. To just have that power to skate anything, at anytime and just create new combos on the daily basis. To be able be super gnar like that.

NS: What made you get out of acting?

JH: It was such a selfish, cutthroat industry.

NS: Sounds just like skateboarding.

JH: To a point, but it seemed less heartless, as in skateboarding you can surround yourself with good people and there are skaters who are down to earth, as opposed to in acting it is just pure ego. Plus, in skating you can still go shred with the homeys. There is not as much pressure it seemed to me because I have a deep passion for skating and I live for it, as in acting it is fun and all but I do not live for it. Maybe if I grew up in Hollywood and all my friends were actors and in the biz I would feel the same about acting as I do about skating, but I did not and plus I got involved in so many dicey projects. It is like signing a contract in another language. Like the older dude Chams and Sluggo were getting into it and I thought it might have been a good road at the time.

NS: There seem to be a lot of Canadian skater stuntmen. Is that field that you wish to pursue down the road maybe?

JH: No. Not really, but if I did I hear a ton of people tell me I look like Heath Ledger."

NS: Rad, so you could do the switch stance stunts in Brokeback Mountain 2?

JH: Laughs.

NS: If you got an offer for a huge sum of cash right now to be Heath Ledger's stunt double, what would you ask him?

JH: What his 5 year plan was. I would have to see what he was up to.

DD: How many hours did it take to put on the alien suit?

JH: 3 hours.

DD: What was the name of the film where you played the skateboarding alien?

JH: No man, you are not getting me on this one. Just Goggle me and you can find all the dirt.

NS: So you rent out your loft. Tell me what it is like to be a landlord. Any crazy tenants?

JH: I had this one tenant that was like a pack rat. She was one of those Suicide Girls. She was late all the time on rent and she was a part of that whole crazy scene. She was nice and all. She was a cool girl but she was not good with deadlines. It is just like any other scenario, it was like this is going to come out of my pocket.

NS: Did you ever say to her that she could pay it off in other ways?

JH: No Nate. Oh man no, hell no.

NS: Come on, she was a Suicide Girl after all. I mean anything goes in this world.

JH:No man.
