What got you into skateboarding?
Trey Abrams took me to skate park of Austin. I met Flint Brewer who gave me some random ass rental board to use and Spencer Owens pressed me to keep my helmet on. I think I was in 2nd 3rd grade.
Where are you originally from?
Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Damn it gets cold out there, What was it like growing up out there?
I moved to Texas when I was 6 so. I don’t remember much from back home beside helping my mom shovelling snow out the driveway every morning. Take about an hour or two. It was fucked!
So, what was the skate scene like out in Indiana?
Small dinky, we only get like 4-5 solid months of nice weather usually.
Goofy or Regz?
It’s regular.
Street or Tranny?
Transition for sure.
Do you have any favorite go to tricks?
Back tail, Front crook, heel-flip.
Switch or Regular?
Regular, but love me a switch hard flip.
Where do you call home at this moment?
Austin Texas. Fuck this place though. Always hot as shit and full of hipsters.
What is the local skate scene like?
What’s the local skate like- it’s pretty cliquey as any other skate scene. Filmers dick ride the hardest.
Any sponsors or flows at the moment?
Purplewax!!!! Get shoes from time to time from emerica and boards from Deathwish but who knows what hell is going on with that. I don’t get much footage anymore shit just shows up randomly most the time.
‘‘Cost me my real teeth and 8 grand is all I can say…’
I know you had a really gnarly slam in the past, then you went back and conquered the fuck outta that spot with a super sick trick, wanna tell us about it?
Cost me my real teeth and 8 grand is all I can say…..
What happened and what was the trick?
I faced a blunt solo and tried to 360 flip off this ledge into this shitty bank. We call it crust mountain. Long story short I dish ragged myself on the ground dragging across the ground. Now I’m sliding into home base under a car, smacking my face on a tire and breaking my teeth.
Would love to see a part, should we be on the lookout for something in the near future?
I’m retired from making parts atm till I can get my shit together.
What’s going on?
Shit caught a dope charge when I was younger. Still paying the price for it but I’m almost to the end of the tunnel another year and half to go till I’m off papers.
Last question. If you could interview anyone in the world, who would it be?
My two dogs cash and Farrah. Would love to hear what they gotta say. Human wise probably Soulja Slim. Dude was crazy. Heard some wild story. He fed a dude to an alligator. I would like to know if that’s true though.
