Whats your favorite booze? Jim Beam and ginger, Budweiser at the moment.

Why did you start skating? When I was I'd say about… 8, I saw this dude do a trick over a sewer cover in the middle of the street and it blew my mind. So I got a board. It was a Cochroache board with these wheels that said sex all over them. My mom scratched the graphic off with a key. Hahaha. I got really into it when I moved to Maine. I skated ramp at this park Inner Sanctum everyday. R.I.P. … D.E.S.P. represent!!!
