Tell us a little about yourself and where you come from.
I was adopted by frakin’ Belgians. Ther was a car accident. I was told it was a beautiful Belgian day. The smell of waffles and brussel sprouts filled the summer air. Until, our car exploded. My birthmother was incinerated. I only survived because her smoking carcuss formed a protective cacoon of slaughtered human efluence. A Belgian man and his 15 year old love slave was leaving the accident scene when they came across a blood soaked baby, muah. They raised me to be evil. you know, that old chestnut.How did you get into the skateboarding scene? What and who motivated you?
A couple kids I grew up around had skateboards, so I persuaded my mom to buy me one. As far as motivation, I guess the same as now, just the friends I surround myself with.Who is your favorite skater right now?
Everybody I skate with

What is your favorite/least favorite trick?
Favorite, Backside nollie heel. Least favorite, Benihanna

What else are you into besides skating?
Chillin’ with my girl, relaxin’ on the beach. Goin’ out to eat, vacationing.

What would you be doing if you weren’t skating?
layin’ on a nice beach somewhere

How do skaters make money skateboarding?
Secret of the pros. Nah, just kidding, I’m still tryin’ to figure that out myself. Somehow my lifestyle excedes my budget, but I get by pretty cool.

If you decided to retire from skating, what would be the next thing you would go after?
I think I’d still be involved in skating somehow. Help 48blocks blow the fuck up!

What’s your favorite genre of music? Favorite artist?
It depends on the mood. Some days rap, others classic rock, oldies, smooth jazz.

What’s the craziest place you’ve ever skated and why?
Barcelona. I’m sure anybody that’s been there will tell ya the same thing. Dope lifestyle, people, places, food, they got it all.

In your opinion what was/is the best skate spot in the world?
Embarcadero, streets of San Francisco

I’m over that shit. Give me a white t and some good fitting jeans.

What was your last job?
Restaurant employee

What else besides skateboarding is important to you?
Having a positive attitude. There are alot of pros out there
that seem to think there shit don’t stink. Wake up and smell the
coffee, lifes to short to walk around all arougant and mad. Be cool!

If WWS Magazine gave you one million dollars right now, what would you do with it?
Move my mom & dad out to California, buy’em a house. Get myself one, put some away and donate some to the needy. Oh yeah and a nice vacation for me and my girl and our families. That’s all folks. Later and thanks WWS for givin’ me the
opportunity to do this interview. One Love
