Next to Canada. So you're petty much Canadian? Far from it. What is Montana called? Big Sky Country or something? Actually I'm in the Flathead Valley. What's an average day like there? Depends on if it's summer or winter. If it's summer, it's usually too hot to skate, so I'll go jump in a creek or something. Go jump off some dirt cliffs. Call some friends, eat, pretty much do random nothings until three or four in the morning. So where does skating come into all of this? When I come to California. Not much skating back home. Not really. There's a couple good skateparks popping up that I might go to on the weekends. Sometimes I wake up before noon, and I'll go to the parks then because there's nobody there. How did you get into skating? I got into skating from my older brother, when I was about seven years old. Like any other kid, I wanted to be like my older brother. He taught me how to ollie Ollie may refer to the following:

You've been doing the contests for a while. Since I was nine. Just local contests? Did you ever win? I won my first contest when I was nine. I get hyped on contests. They're fun; I like all the skaters hanging around. Do you get hyped on tours and demos, too? Yeah. I get psyched on demos. What else do you like or dislike? I dislike mushrooms. And onions.

What's the difference between dancing and breakdancing? There's choreographed dancing, and then there's breakdancing, which is like in a circle. They battle each other. So, the show was kind of like a circus. My brother was the leader of this whole group, like the tour manager. It was a Christian organization, so we'd go through the churches, and they'd find us homes to stay in. I've been on trips where there were 10 people, and some trips there would be like 40. How was the tail on these trips? The tail? Meaning the ass? Girls are rad. What's a wild story? A bunch of the skaters and the guys who did tech for the show would go on these ninja missions, throwing stuff from the roofs at the security guards, running up behind them and hitting them on the head and then bouncing.

The people I hung out with were buddies I'd grown up with before skating. If you had to make a choice, would you go Puka-shell necklace necklace: see jewelry. or the hemp-bead necklace?
