Monster Army: Tell us a little bit about yourself.
D'Andre Pendergrass: Well My Full Name Is D'Andre Pendergrass, Im 17 years old, Ive been skating for 5 years, And I live in Miami Florida...The bad part of Miami Florida though.
Monster Army: The 305!! How is the skate scene in your home town?
D'Andre Pendergrass: Not many dude's skate were I live but I venture out and skate all around florida. Skating in the dirty is pretty gnar. These guys out here are rad yo, which is why I love Florida so much to skate, if you keep your eyes open.
Monster Army: How does your skate scene in Florida compare to So-Cal?
D'Andre Pendergrass: They don't compare!!! I love Florida and all but when I came to cali it was a totally different story. I swore I had died and gone to heaven. I wanted to skate every thing man but I had a limited time.
Monster Army: You came out to Cali for the Clash at Clairemont. Tell us about the comp and your time in Cali.
D'Andre Pendergrass: Okay well The comp was chill and I had fun over all at it. I had just barely gotten into Cali on that Friday before the comp though. I skated the Deathwish warehouse and was just overwhelmed with excitement. I chilled with the team and met this really cute Socal chick who's number I forgot to get, but overall I think my first day in Cali was the best.
Monster Army: Are you filming at all? What new projects are you working on?
D'Andre Pendergrass: Yeah man I film every other day. I’m always trying to get some clips put together so I can keep all my sponsors posted on how I’m doing and what I’m doing. As of now I’m just really focusing on stackin clips so I can get on Deathwish and Emerica flow.
Monster Army: hat music are you into when chillin and what is playing when you skate?
D'Andre Pendergrass: I listen to the same tunes when I chill and skate. I gotta have my daily dose of people screaming in my ear. I listen to a lot of Alesana, Chiodos, Bring me the Horison, Underoath, and the best band ever ACDC!
Monster Army: Who is your favorite Monster Skate General?
D'Andre Pendergrass: Geoff Rowley!! All day dude.
Monster Army: With such a stacked Monster team why did you pick Rowley?
D'Andre Pendergrass: He gave me my first board really. When I found out who the guy was I was like "what? Who the heck is that? And he's pro for who now?" So yeah I kind of think if he hadn’t given me that board the following events wouldn't have really occurred.
Monster Army: Favorite Flavor of Monster Energy?
D'Andre Pendergrass: I like them all really, but I love the Java lo-ball. Man that stuff gets me goin yo!! I love the taste, and how smooth it goes down…. so good!
Monster Army: Last words for the kids in the Monster Army:
D'Andre Pendergrass: Shred hard and have fun,Thats what its about overall!.
