Do you have any favorite spots that you like to skate? I like going to Rockledge park in the morning to learn new tricks and hang out with the bright house crew, represent! Other than that I just like checkin’ out new spots outside of town.

What gets you motivated to skate?
Watching my friends skate and some good…good music. I love watchin’ everyone throw down at a spot; it makes me want to skate so much harder.

Any last shout outs?
Everyone at Viera (Dan, Joe, Bobby, Jimmy, there’s way too many of you guys to name), the whole Martyr crew especially “Your Mom”, “Gnarte”, and Josh, everyone I grew up skating with on Mantor Ave. (Erik K., Ziggy, Jon Rainy, Lil’ George, Rob, the list goes on and on), the Arceneaux family for all of their support throughout the years, my girlfriend Sammi and her son Miles, I love you babe. And last but not least to everyone who ever skated at Sandpoint. I’ll never forget the days spent there and the people who were involved. Peace
