FAVOURITE SPOTS/OBSTACLES ? Ledges, banks, mini ramps
BIGGEST INFLUENCES AND WHY NONE SKATING AND SKATING ? I am my own influence, I push myself all the time.
WHY DID YOU START SKATING ? I remember seeing my uncles old powell peralta board in his bedroom a lot and always thought that it looked cool.
IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE, WHAT WOULD BE THE ONE THING YOUD SKATE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE ? hmmmm, probably gotta with a mini ramp, so versatile to skate, so many trick combos you can do.
FIRST TRICK YOU LEARNT ? ollie, didnt learn it stationary like most people do tho, learnt it moving by ollieing up a curb onto grass outside my nannas house
MOST RECENTLY LEARNT TRICK ? back crook to back 5-0, front nosegrind to front 5-0, front lip to 50-50 on ledge, and last night I was trying to get switch pop shuvs down and accidentally got switch haymakers instead :o
OVERALL FAVOURITE TRICK/S ? Mute tucknees aka japan airs over launch ramps, and any footplant variation
WHATS YOUR WORST\FAVORITE BAIL/S ? bails hmmm, funniest bail - Broke my wrist when I was like 12 whilst skating some school with chris barrett, popped an ollie over a flatbar, slipped out on a curb and snapped my wrist clean in two on it, I remember barrett saying "nah its just dislocated, push it back in place, go on, go on", thinking back it was hilarious with him going on at me to push it back into place :O. worst bail.... hmm I remember just after I'd learned forward/murder/dolphin flips, I tried to learn forward heels, credit carded myself trying it, balls were sore for about a week and purple as you want, I also bailed a tailgrab over a funbox at bones clipped the edge of the funbox and went flying shoulder first straight to flat, that was painful, went to do a simple ollie air over the launch ramp at bones, cleared the box, landed primo and went head first about 10 foot straight to the concrete :O
Ive also nearly severed part of my finger off skating some street after a contest, ollieing down this little set that was in a door, my arm swung and caught on a sheet of metal that was jutting out slightly, nearly took part of my finger clean off, ened up making a custom bandage with a distance stitch on badge, and a shoe lace haha, had to get it stitched back on
FAVOURITE SKATEVID/S ? Probably like everyone else, cheese and crackers, some stupid crazy stuff on there, ride the sky was also really good, the new adidas one - diagonal was really good too.
FAVOURITE SKATER/S ? chet childress, daewon song, haslam. My friends ofc.
SO, ASSUMING YOU HAVE A LIFE OUTSIDE OF SKATING, WHAT DOES THAT CONSIST OF ? mainly me geeking it up on pc games, and playing my guitar when I aint on my computer, cycling when I can.
MUSIC ? Rock music man, thats what its about, I listen to a lot of the older stuff like extreme, pink floyd, ac/dc, mr big etc
FILMS ? Went to see the new star trek movie a couple of weeks ago, that shit rocked, ofc I am a big star trek fan but anyone who isnt a fan can enjoy that film.
BOOKS ? Reading the book version of the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy atm, so much more funny than the movie was
