Professional skateboarder Jereme Rogers said Wednesday he was sorry for disturbing his Redondo Beach neighbors this week when he "ate some `mushrooms' and bugged out," preaching naked on his rooftop.
Rogers, a high school dropout who attributes his skateboarding skills to God, was eventually grabbed by police officers and brought down from his precarious perch.
"It obviously was not an everyday experience," the 24-year-old athlete said. "It was a very out-of-body experience. I've never had an experience like that."
Rogers pulled off his boxer shorts about 6:40 a.m. Monday and climbed onto the roof of the two-story house he shares with roommates on Havemeyer Lane and Goodman Avenue.
"It was obviously something I shouldn't have done," Rogers said as he rolled a marijuana joint in his bedroom. "It was just something that happened."
...
Rogers did not smoke the joint in front of a reporter. He said it is well known among his fans that he is a user.
"Yeah, I'm rolling weed," he said. "I have a medical card. I'm a weed smoker."
The full article describes Rogers running around the ledge of the rooftop naked and ranting about God (sound familiar). He almost fell off the roof but skaters have amazing balance (fortunately). And what does chronic weed smoking and shrooming do to your skating skills? Check
