I hear you got injured, what happened and how is your foot?
I was on tour with Osiris for the first time, and I was looking forward to it. I saw a spot on the way to our hotel entering Quebec City, it was a black marble ledge over dirt, so when we got to the hotel I threw my shit in there then went to the ledge with Dustin Montie and Rich Odam. I was trying front crook fakie, and I jumped off my board and my foot landed on the curb and stretched the fuck out of my ligaments. I wasn’t able to skate for the rest of the tour, and now two and half months later it’s still in the healing process.
Are you motivated to skate harder in other cities?
Fuck yeah cause I know if I am in my own city I could just go back the next day. When I am in other cities there is only a limited time that I am there for, so I push myself, but even in my own city I try to get as much has I can done fosho.
What is your favorite city to travel to?
I very much like Toronto cause that place has an infinity of spots and there are a lot of people I know there and more people that film/shoot every day.
Who would you rather go on a trip with?
I like going on trips with people that are homies and are motivated like you.

How would you describe your lifestyle?
Skate or die basically. Skateboarding is in my blood.
Why DGK?
Cause it’s the freshest shit there is, and I’m down with that.
KFC or MCdee’s?
Dude, I am down with any kind of beige, but if I had to pick just one I think I would go with KFC cause its greasier.

Where do you see yourself 5 years?
In California or dead in a cemetery in Ottawa.
What’s your best memory in the past 5 years?
Rolling away from a 14-stair back lip in Ottawa. I had to go back like 20 times to land that shit. I got fined, arrested, chased, baned, and a warrant for my arrest for that trick. I would not stop for nothing to land that trick, and it was the best feeling in the world for me to finally role away. Fosho best memory of Satan.
What’s your favorite spot to chill at?
This spot in Ottawa called the 2 up 3 down manny pad. You could just chill there, skate flat and skate the many. So fucking fun.
Is there one person you make fun of?
You.
Tall can or forty?
Fortys cause they look more G!
Chicken or Bacon?
Hh fosho Bacon. Dog you are Satans son fool. So down.
Night sesh or day sesh?
I like night sesh’s more cause I find it looks better when you light up a spot and cause there are less people walking around.
Tre flip or tre shuv revert?
Fuck? What kinda question is that? Tre flips fosho.

wake up man….you’re white. despite your fresh kit dog, you will not be able to convince the girls you meet outside the LAX game (canadiens love this…beats me why) that you are the new young money artist. enjoy your medical bud but try to look in the mirror once in a while or do something that wasn’t in every skate video in 2007
