Who/What're some of your influences?
Anything that inspires me to do something different. The crazier the better. Gus Van Sant lately in film but he goes alittle off the deep end sometimes.
Favorite time period in skating ?
Before I knew who anyone was. Animal Chin period. No-comply that faded and then came back to me.
What's on the Ipod ?
Right now? Listened to Thievery Corporation on the way home. That and Mac Dre with Andre Nicotina. Whut!?
What takes up your time outside of skateboarding?
Making a miniscule amount of money to pay a largeamount of debt. Don't really care though. Reading abit and starting to paint again. Bass on the back burner.
What's a typical day in the life?
Wake up..coffee and nicotine...no food. Drive for anhour...work... Drive for an hour and a half. Shower if I'm lucky but usually just skate till I'm too tired to walk. Film a bit. Drink some booze. Sleep. I'm very happy I haven't turned on a TV in a month.
Pet peeves?
Skatepark bottom-dwellers and diving boards. San Diego blondes. A populous that can't merge.
Why do you still skate?
Because I still enjoy it. I skate with headphones lately though. I'm over the random kid that yells so everyone hears him and the board thrower trying the kick back lip on the rail.
Whatchu thank?
Having fun. Getting lost in new places to find my way. Trying to find people who motivate, inspire, and remind me of the people in my life who teach me that life is worth living.
Any plans or upcoming projects you'd like people to look out for?
Check It Out girls video...whenever it will actually be done. No fluff or filler...just good things. It seems almost impossible sometimes. Starting a new project of my own soon. Partly skating...partly not. Still working it out in my head. Have a ton of footage that I don't know what to do with. Empty promises and lack of pay. |
