What is your favorite type of riding and why?
I pretty much ride only concrete skateparks because they're popular on this coast and nearly always open and free.
What's your favorite spot and why?
I love going to SoCal and hitting Etnies skatepark in Lake Forest; good flow and technical manual pads. I also really like Livermore skatepark, it has the best atmosphere of any park I've been to.
What trick haunts you?
Not indian giving; but lately barspins have been hit and miss for me.
What is your dream spot?
Ryan Nyquist's "The Unit"; the Braun cruZer miniramp looks like a lot of fun too.
Who are your favorite riders?
Dave Mirra, Scotty Cranmer, Josh Harrington, Alistair Whitton, Chris Doyle, Danny Hickerson, Brian Hunt, Zack Gerber, Craig Mast, Anthony Watkinson, Ben Wallace, John Heaton, and Dustin Guenther.
What's your favorite BMX video?
Sentenced to Life, Time Well Spent, and the first EmpireBMX vid.
When I'm not riding, I like to:
Ride my road bike, drive my Volvo, visit my friends, buy clothes and shoes, go to the movies, and work on my bikes.
Bands I'm into:
Social Distortion, Saves the Day, Deathcab for Cutie, The Get Up Kids, Alkaline Trio, The Shins, and classics like Simon and Garfunkel, Neil Diamond, Elton John, and The Police
Girls think I am:
"Super smart, funny, and a really cool person," aww thanks!
My parents think BMX is:
Not a substitute for college.
What is something you would change about BMX?
I wish more people had a clue about BMX so I wouldn't have to feel completely immature by having to explain riding a kid's bike to them.
Do you shoot photos or video? If yes, why?
I shoot video occasionally if someone wants me to use their gear, but I'm terrible at photography, I can't handle any camera more complex than a digital point and shoot.
What makes you learn new tricks?
I like suprising people.
What keeps you doing your old tricks?
So I don't forget them!
