Along with being a loyal Texas educator, Reagan Beres is the last 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 positive. And because the Beres boys are about as simple to get on the telephone as Neil Blender, we figured she’d be a approach faster interview than these two Howard Hughes-ass recluses. Learn on!
A part of the explanation 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 received’t name me again.” I used to be like, “Are you loopy? He’s cherished you his complete 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 foundations. Raney could be very chore pushed. His room was all the time neat. No matter he did, he pulled his weight. Rye was somewhat harder. Being the infant of the household, he was catered to extra.
Yeah, he’s sort of the infant of the Thrasher household, too. So how far aside are the boys?
Raney is 32 and Rye can be 27 quickly, so 5 years aside in the meanwhile. I feel it’s a superb hole, really. It allowed them to sort of be their very own individuals, however be tremendous tight as nicely.

Yep, there was all the time skating and music in the home, and we all the time had a yard full of children 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 As a result of he was making ’zines and networking with the professionals when he was like 9 years outdated.

Do you suppose 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 might’ve been professional, too.
It was fairly clear the place Raney’s path was headed, so perhaps Rye thought he wished to do his personal factor. Which was cool, as a result of I didn’t need him to stay 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 an alternative 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 footwear he wished. He was all the time hustling.
