What do you love about skating?
The feeling you get riding away bolts... either that or the whole community aspect of it.

Your worst bail?
Snapped ankle and 3rd degree sprains to all those tendons... worst. day. ever.

Next stop on your places to get to?
Probably back to the west coast... miss that crowd a lot.

Favorite food?
Coffee, Beer, Cigarettes, Chicken, Steak, Potatoes.

Favorite Magazine/Book?
On the Road by Jack Keroac gets me hyped.

What advice would you give younger kids who skate?
You should realize that when you're out skateboarding what you do reflects the whole skate scene. If you're out there doing some Bam Margera b/s you're going to ruin the skate scene in your community. Have fun with skateboarding, not lighting things on fire, or doing stupid shit.

If you could change one thing about skating what would it be?
Not so much about the glamor and glory of it... It's a piece of wood, it's dirty, it's painful... It's not about having a Benz, it's about dedication.
