- What’s your favorite set up? … and why?
Santa Cruz 8.25, Independent 144s, and Bones 55mm
The Santa Cruz 8.25 shape has a good vert nose that makes me never guess if my front foot is going to stay on during take off or not while maintaining a street shaped tail which makes it feel comfortable to pop and scoop for flip tricks.
- Favorite skate spot / your favorite trick?
Either Venice skate park on an early weekday morning or a parking lot sesh with some friends late at night.
- If you could skate with anybody dead or alive who would it be?
John Cardiel from the early 90s.
- Who is/was your biggest inspiration for skateboarding? … and why?
Skaters like Daewon Song and Grant Taylor have and always will be huge inspirations for me but recently I have been watching a lot of Tom Asta videos and getting hyped on that kind of skating.
- Favorite skate shoes?
Nike Janoskis
- If you could have any superpower what would it be and why?
Manipulate time because the possibilities are endless.
- What’s your biggest dream?
To wake up to a job that I love doing every day and being able to support a family with it.
- Why did you chose skateboarding? explain…
I got into skateboarding because my older brother was really into it. From that point on I was hooked. Skateboarding is awesome because no matter how good you get at it, you never truly master it. There's always something more to learn.
- What would you do with 5 mln dollars?
Buy a warehouse, design and build a diverse park, build out a few rooms for me and some homies to live in and probably put the rest in stocks.
- If you could give any advice to the younger generation of athletes what would it be?
Find the love and fun in whatever you want to do and it will come easier.
