What got you into the BMX world to begin with? Wanting to ride motocross but being poor.

You just moved to Greenville, NC from Cali. What made you do that? Just saw a wave for change and I hopped on. Now im shreddin the East Coast.

How do you like it there so far? Its awesome. Everyone is cool, rent is low, the spots are rad, and its good being closer to the Eastern office. Siiick.

Who are the people that you ride with the most now? Ive been riding a lot with Brandon Christie, Josh Perry, and Guettler. Its been so good to ride with dudes that kill it everyday.

What do you miss the most from home? Friends, Family. I don't really miss the hustle but im not plannin being stain in greenville forever.

You seem to come up with some crazy shit. What goes on in that head of yours when thinking of this stuff? Mind Roidz haha. I don't really know for sure but i get bored with the same shit all the time. Besides its so ridiculous when you come up with elevated maneuvers that nobody has done or nobody else wants to do. Watch out for the dick dragger.

What countries are you jonzing to get to? ANYWHERE! but greece would be out of control. Ive always wanted to go there. Or even Hawaii… i don't know why ive never been there.

I know you like art. What kind of stuff are you into and what do you like to do? Ive been into bold shapes and tattoo drawing lately. Im always doing graphic work, drawing, or painting. Anyone need anything done hit me up. Im trying to get a website up to view my portfolio so ill definitely have blog about it.

What gets you motivated…with riding and just life in general? Motivation has been hard until I moved to NC. I have definitely been motivated riding with different people or traveling. Makes you feel like your actually doing something.

Top five bands at the moment: #1. Old old Underoath! so sick 2. Lil Boosie 3. Lil Wayne 4. My boys from back home LetLive! 5. Original Saosin.

Any last words? Everybody needs to chill. Thanks to Leigh Ramsdell, Jon and Mike, my mom, my lovely girlfriend Nicolle who I couldn't be here without, and to my family…. Im alright.
