"Following the DVS video, Skate More, I decided to take a hiatus from skateboarding, not only to heal, but to direct a movie I had written called The Good Life. It had been my "other woman" for many years, but because of my commitments as a professional skateboarder I couldn't pursue it 100%. But upon Skate More's conclusion, I had the opportunity to do it, so I took it and have been working on it for the past year now. I'm finally finished, back on my board and already in the throes of filming for the new, yet to be titled, Alien Workshop video."
