Q&A - Personal

Describe your style...

I do many different types of skating, I do miniramp, street and park skating. My style has to be unique, I hate doing things that you see all the time. Your not gunna noticed if you do what everyone else is doing. Mix it up a bit, if you land a trick for the first time don't keep doing it, do it a couple times then move on with something else. I see people all the time that do this, so I try to mix it up and stand out from the crowd.

Music?

If there was no music in the world, there would be no reason for me to live. Everything I do involes music in some way. I listen to some of the greatest rapper of today like Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Nas and anything else that has a good beat to it. I don't listen to much rock or metal when i skate becuase I don't want to get over amped and end up hurting myself. I would usuelly listen to rock or metal before a comp and listen to rap to calm me down so I feel great and ready to skate.

Some Personal Information About Me:

I have 2 aswsome brothers Brandon and Jason. There have always been there for me and always supported me through everything I do. My brother Brandon is enrolled at Husson University and going for a degree in Busniess Adminastration. He also is on the collage football team as a OT/DT. My little brother Jason is a big hockey player, big Boston Bruins fan. He has always looked up to me. One memory I will never forget is that Jason came to me one day and said that he wanted to start skating with me. I was in shock haha. So I went out and got him set up with a board and went to the local skate park. His first time dropping into a minipipe, he broke his wrist. I felt really bad, but I was honerd that he wanted to try skating but I said to him "I think hockey would be a much better sport for you haha".

How's Life Treating You?

My life right now is great. Skating for sponsors and making progress. My parents are togather and I am blessed to have great grandparents still alive today they are 88 and 89 years old.

Why do you like this sport?

God there is so many things that I could describe about skateboarding. Skateboarding is a complete lifestyle. Parents sometimes don't get how skateboarders around the world go about things. Skateboarding to me is a free ticket to freedom. When you standing on that maple 7 ply, theres an endless jounery ahead of you.

Q&A - Self Interview

Are u friends with any pros?

I'm friends with Jereme Rogers and Andy McDonald

What are you favorite companys?

My Sponsers RWS Skateboards, Monster Energy, Spy Optics and GoPro Camreas.

Do you think Ryan Sheckler is ruining skateboarding?

I do not think Ryan Sheckler is runing skateboarding. I don't get why everyone thinks that he is, I mean come on He's got the girls, a $300,000 Ferrari, Living on his own at 19 just for riding a skateboard. How could you hate on that. Like he has his show out called Life Of Ryan and kids watch that and see him Cabellarel Kickflip down an 8 stair and go wow I want to do that. So they go to a local skateshop and get there first board. They might not nesscessarily get his pro board but like if one of Bam Margera's decks is sitting up on the rack he might grab that one and skate it. So to me I think he is increseing the productivtey of Skateboarding
