How do you feel about competition skating?

I like it. A lot of pressure but real fun. Plus you see some gnarly shit go down.

I was just wondering, in a Real video you guys threw darts at balloons to see what countries you would travel to and film. Well, Norway was one of the countries, and we're waiting our ass off. Haha, but for real. Are you guys coming out?

I dont think we are going.

Do you believe that your car racing and tuning interests keep you balanced for skating, that way you don't get burnt out or something like that?

Yeah I guess you could say that. When I'm on trips I try to get as many photos and as much video that I can. Then when I go home, I focus on the car and go racing.

Who could bomb a hill faster; you in one of your suped-up engines, or a caffeine fuel-injected Busenitz?

I don't know man, I might need a lot of nitrous.

How did you get the hell out of New Bedford, MA? It's a hell-hole in shit-sticks Southern Mass. Also, can we see your hair?

I guess NB is a shit hole, but it's sick as fuck. I'll never leave this place. Got a good scene in both skating and racing. And yeah, you can see my hair.

How has being pro changed you or your skating?

I don't know if it really changed me but when I first turned pro, I was kinda bumming. I just felt like it should be better since I'm "PRO."

What is the video you would recommend to watch before skating?

I don't know when the last time I watched a skate video was. But if I had to choose it would probably be Thrill of it All or Misled Youth.

What kind of music is the best to skate to?

Depends on the mood man. Sometimes mellow shit or sometimes metal.
