Chris Pastras is known by gallery crowds solely as a visual artist and Jason Lee is certainly known to most as Earl Hickey, the repentant television thief, but those who have an affinity for wheels mounted under planks of wood, know that the duo is actually doubling as Stereo Sound Agents 547 & o470.
Pastras and Lee started Stereo Skateboards in the mid-’90s and introduced jazz music and experimental camera techniques to the skateboard video. Although calling it quits once or twice along the way, as of 2003, Stereo has been fully operational. With all their extra-curricular activities, don’t get it twisted. The two never really left skating, they just take periodic breaks. So like the oiled down baseball cap wearing rapper once told us “Don’t call it a comeback!” Especially, now that Pastras and Lee are riding for Dekline shoes. Nevertheless, the two may need to pick u a beauty tip from LL, they are starting to look pretty grizzled!
