| 1 | The progression of skateboarding seems to be getting more technical with a flip into a slide then a flip back out as well as going down bigger rails and down more stairs. I like to do all that stuff, especially when it feels good. I don't stick myself into one type of style, I would get bored with that. |
| 2 | My body can't really take the abuse of three solid days of pounding. Competitions are fun sometimes, but they wear on me. A semi-final, to me, is just a waste of time, because you're going to see those people do the same tricks again. It gets repetitive and starts to lose its appeal. Contests are just too drawn-out. When you're worn-out, you don't want to put any more effort into slamming your body on the ground than you already have. |
| 3 | I just kick a heelflip out - frontside 180, jump in the air and pray. |
| 4 | The most fun Contest was the 2001 Slam City Jam-the one everyone got ripped-off at. |
| 5 | My most memorable demos? All the ones I do with Rick McCrank. He just goes nuts, so people forget I'm there - it makes it easier for me to hide. |
| 6 | Doing the Fandangle trick...well, it's the most elusive maneuver ever to be done on a skateboard. So, I can't really expose the secret, sorry. |
| 7 | All I wanna do is skate the rails and the curbs. That's it! |
| 8 | It's crazy how these kids look up to you. They watch every trick you do, listen to every word you say, go out and buy your skateboards, your shoes, your T-shirts, because your name is on them -- they admire you and they look up to you. Everything I am is because of these kids. They look to skaters like me and they are the future of skateboarding. I won't lie, it's cool. |
| 9 | What has been the biggest change in my sport since I started? Ummm....Popularity. It's been insane and fun! |
| 10 | I never thought I would be making the money I do and traveling like I do because of skateboarding. It all just happened. |
