Where did you travel this year?

Over the last year did Cali for a month basically Tiajuana and back, Calgary and Edmonton, Montreal, Toronto, van island, interior of BC…Seattle, Portland, and Denver….something else in there im sure…pretty busy year.

Of all the contests you entered this year which one did you enjoy the most?

Probly west 49 open in Toronto…always have fun there…usually have a good course etc…slam city jam I was pretty sick…so that didn’t work out…am getting paid was good as well…Denver dew tour open was a crazy competition experience…super crazy field of athletes in there…

How was your experience traveling across premiering the Yesterday’s Future film?

It was basically the excuse to party after everything was all said and done for the filming part on my end…it was super cool hearing the response of all the people watching it for the first time…always feels good to get a good response on things. Makes it feel worth all the time, effort and money spent on the project.

I heard you got in a car accident, what happened there?

Yeah, in after we did our premier there I met up with an old friend that I used to skate with a lot back in the day, he moved out there bout 5 years ago. His gf and a friend of theirs picked us up..not even 10 mins down the road some guy runs a red light and hammered us super hard. Got lucky, thought I broke ribs, got the wind knocked outta me, back, and ribs have been a mess since it sucks.

What do you do to keep your mind on track when you are injured?

Try and do anything I can from going insane. When I broke my leg, I realized this stuff is gonna happen and actually forced me to sit out my injury and let it heal properly where I never did before. At least right now being hurt from the accident, I got work to keep me busy, couldn’t even do that on the leg, so at least I got some loot coming in anyways.

Where is your favorite place to skate?

Hhmmm, usually anywhere new. I get kinda bored with spots, parks etc, always find myself being repetitive with tricks and stuff so I like going to the new cities skating there spots and branching out your tricks I guess you could say…everywhere’s got something different to skate…I love my variety,  I guess…no where specific
