It was good. I tried to skate whenever I had time off. It isn't the greatest having to work so much and then skate but, it could have been worse.

You have a top secret spot book that no one has ever seen, what kinds of spots do you prefer to skate?

I do have about 25 different lists of skate spots around Phoenix I made while I was bored in school or whenever. I like skating spots you have to think about and use your imagination. Usually, it's something that isn't a "session spot" - or a good spot to skate on the regular.

That's pretty easy. It was the last day we had to film, the day before I left on my trip. It was my birthday, and I went back to retry one of the biggest tricks I've attempted (final ditch gap of his 90). I landed it first try and the rest of the day went pretty well too.


You've been working non-stop for the past 6 months - explain what your job was?

I work for the Chicago Cubs Baseball team at their minor league training facilities in Mesa. I do a lot of stuff in the clubhouse and on the fields for the team. Getting out and putting away baseball equipment, doing laundry, and straightening up the clubhouse is what I spent most of the day doing.



You love to travel, even right now you're on a month long trip going up the west coast. Explain what your life will be like for the next 5 months.

Here it is, currently I'm in SF on a road trip up to Vancouver with my lady friend Misha. We will be stopping in some forests to camp in Portland and Seattle. On the way back we will be camping more and stopping in Boise and SLC. When we get back, I'm going straight to Hawaii with the fam for a week, I've never been there. About a week after that, Misha and I are heading to South America for 3 months until March 1st. We're going to be visiting Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. Skating is going to be limited, but I am taking my blades with me everywhere.

Well, that's tough to answer. My skating is influenced directly from watching people street skate in all those old videos and DB's. Like DL, Shima, Spizer, and many others. And that, for me, translated into finding places where I can skate the way I want to. Another influence is skating fast, that is something everyone should learn how to do. It's better for you, falls are for the most part easier on the body, and it makes your skating look better.



What does having a 90 Second Edit mean to you?

It's a tough hobby. I'm happy to get some exposure and these are some high quality pieces you and Jenkins put out. It's the next best thing to having a section in a real video.
