What's your school like? I'm going to be a junior. It's super hard and there's a lot of work, but only two more years. It's a private school so there aren't too many kids. No one skates at my school. Which classes are completely worthless? Many of 'em. Anything that involves writing papers. Latin class. You take Latin? It's horrible.

What do you think about the Patty Segovia All Girls Skate Jam presented by Patty Segovia in conjunction with Patty Segovia Enterprises, Inc? I don't really like contests in general, but I think girls should just skate in regular contests. I don't think girls should have to have their own category--they should just be in a skateboard contest. Girls just skate with guys, it's all the same. Do you enter those things? I did a few years back, but I'm over it now.

They freak me out. Why do they freak you out? I don't know, they shouldn't but before it's my turn I get all numb and I can't skate. I get all nervous. Have you always gotten that way before a contest? Yeah. Do you pay attention to what the other girl skaters are doing? No, not really. Do you have a favorite girl skater? No. Favorite dude?
