Along with being a faithful Texas educator, Reagan Beres is the final word skate mother, having raised each a high professional ‘boarder and a Thrasher masterlensman, whereas sustaining an enthusiastic-yet-casual air about her. She’s no skatepark sponsor-me mother, that’s for certain. And for the reason that Beres boys are about as simple to get on the telephone as Neil Blender, we figured she’d be a manner faster interview than these two Howard Hughes-ass recluses. Learn on!
A part of the rationale I’m interviewing you rather than your sons Raney and Rye is as a result of they by no means name me again. Are they any higher speaking with their mother than they’re with their coworkers?
Completely not—not even with me or some other member of the family. I bear in mind Grosso would name me like, “Does Raney hate me? He gained’t name me again.” I used to be like, “Are you loopy? He’s beloved you his whole life!” It’s an actual thriller, as a result of I’m very communicative.
‘You need a Coors, get it your self …’
That makes me marvel, what was self-discipline like within the Beres’ family? Had been the boys anticipated to do something? Or was it extra of a free for all?
Really, they have been so good. We have been all simply happy-go-lucky. Nobody broke the principles. Raney may be very chore pushed. His room was all the time neat. No matter he did, he pulled his weight. Rye was a bit of harder. Being the newborn of the household, he was catered to extra.
Yeah, he’s type of the newborn of the Thrasher household, too. So how far aside are the boys?
Raney is 32 and Rye shall be 27 quickly, so 5 years aside in the mean time. I feel it’s an excellent hole, really. It allowed them to type of be their very own folks, however be tremendous tight as effectively.

Any likelihood we’ll see Rye with these dreads sometime?
He is perhaps balding however, hey.
If Tim Kerr taught us something, it’s that balding with dreads is a unbelievable look. So that you guys have been a Texas skate punk household just about, proper?
Yep, there was all the time skating and music in the home, and we all the time had a yard full of youngsters skating the ramp, from sunup ’til sunset.
Was Rye all the time precocious? As a result of he was making ’zines and networking with the professionals when he was like 9 years previous.
Yeah, he undoubtedly had a one-track thoughts. Rye was bizarre about it—he needed to know each element. I bear in mind him getting grumpy with me if I didn’t know some piece of skate trivia or who did what in 411. I lastly needed to lay down the legislation and instructed him, “Go ballot each mother within the neighborhood and if they will let you know what sneakers Templeton was sporting in 411 #16, then you will get grumpy with me!”

Do you assume Rye selected to go together with the media route as a result of Raney was already changing into a skate star? I really feel like Rye in all probability may’ve been professional, too.
It was fairly clear the place Raney’s path was headed, so perhaps Rye thought he needed to do his personal factor. Which was cool, as a result of I didn’t need him to dwell in his brother’s shadow. He was all the time so pushed. I bear in mind his PE coach instructed me, “Rye doesn’t wish to do PE. He says he has a bunch of emails he must return to all these skate corporations.” I used to be like, “Yeah, that’s in all probability true.” Raney had a considerably regular childhood earlier than skating, however Rye has been surrounded by it since he was a child. He watched skate movies as a substitute of cartoons. He was so pushed. We didn’t have a lot cash, so he was all the time understanding methods to get the boards and sneakers he needed. He was all the time hustling.

Yeah, they actually respect one another and what items every is nice at. They’ve a lot love and freaking respect for one another. It’s so cool.
