What other interests do you have besides skating?
I've been shooting hoops a lot now with those playoffs
going off. I've been getting hyper to go out and shoot
some hoops, so me and my brother, we've been playing
basketball, and then just playing in the band.
What's the last book that you read?
I like this pastor, Greg Lorrie, he wrote a book on the
Holy Spirit. That was the last book I read."
I know you, Lance, Salman and a few other people are
into religion, how does that occupy your time?
I try to do all I can for the Lord. I try to read the Bible
every moming and I just praise him all the time.
What's your world outlook?
I see what's going on and I think, "Man, there had to
have been another way." I just feel like it wasn't supposed
to be like this. You've got children killing parents and so
much crazy stuff going on. And I just don't buy all this
stuff about "evolving from the monkey"
How much MTV do you watch?
I try not to, but I'll check out that 120 Minutes and see
the new stuff going on, and there's some old bands that I
like a lot that have some new stuff coming out that I'll see
like the Violent Femmes and the Meat Puppets.
Are you currently enrolled in school?
No, I'm not, but I want to go back to take music. That
would be cool to learn to read music because I'd love to
play jazz. And then maybe auto too because my dad's a
mechanic, I wouldn't mind learning how to be a mechanic.
What are your future plans or long-term goals?
I have no idea right now. But it's cool, I'm not worried
about it. I know when the time comes, the Lord is going
to
lay it on my heart what I should do.
In closing, who would you like to thank?
I'd like to definitely thank the Lord for the gift that he's
given me, and my parents for supporting me when they
had to pay for all of the windows I broke when I was try.

the Vision shoes and baseball cap, the darkroom vaults
provided this big jump ramp spinner (below) with both.
