How many
bones have
you broken?
So, you broke your wrist, then proceed-
None from skating, just some other ed to keep drinking and started doing
childish stunts.
Tell us about the 636 night.
I was super drunk off Henry Weinhards
and whiskey, and I was doing a little skating
off the porch. The whole crew was there,
and somehow we ended up downtown
doing a little more drinking, then I split with
Crabtree to get some food and tried to
barge some scene with some cars, and I
ended up getting hit by a car and rolled over
the top of the hood. So, I grabbed my board
and took off. I just got my food and ate.
backflips off the stage of this club after
getting hit by a car. Is this a typical
night for you?
I don't know. I totally forgot about all the
other stuff. I guess it was probably one of
those typical nights.
I know that there's a beautiful man
in skateboarding that you would love
to t-bag.
I couldn't really t-bag him. He's a super
good guy. He's the best. It's Richard Kirby.
He's amazing.
So, you're in love with Kirby?
I wouldn't go that far, but I think he's
I heard that you've woken up with your bad-ass. I love him, I guess.
pants missing.
Yeah, those are some awkward drinking
nights. You find your pants all rolled up in a
ball with piss all over them in the backyard
and you on the floor with nothing on but a
shirt. It's pretty interesting, especially when
the house is littered with garbage.
What's the deal with the Beautiful
Men's Club?
We were all in Long Beach Scotty, Jai
and myself-and we thought there was a
need for the Beautiful Men's Club.
So, it's a club for just beautiful men?
Yeah, we have chapters everywhere.
We're all out there, the finest in the world.
When did you start skating?
I remember having a plastic skateboard
with clay wheels and skating down the
driveway on my knee. I would just skate by
myself until I started hanging out with the
Almaden crew (Salman, Jason, Shawn). It's
just skateboarding. I'm always going to be
doing it no matter what the causes are.
Even if it kills you?
I won't let it go that far.
What's the story with your hair? I'm sure
everyone is curious and you want to tell
them that you're not a skinhead.
Well, it just fell out one day. Some weird
thing happened to my immune system that
made it a little more powerful than it
should've been, and it basically killed all
the hair on my body. It's an odd thing.
People say that pot kills the immune system,
but this just proves that theory wrong.
Is it going to grow back?
It could grow back in 5-10 years.
What's it called?
Allapashia Arata.
So, you're feeling fine?
I feel fine, really.
What's that in your hand?
Rocky Mountain Coors. It's a good thing.
What other kind of music do you listen to?
It varies by my mood.
What are some of your favorite bands?
Pink Floyd, Apeface, Twisted Sister... I
could go on and on. Whatever sounds good
to me at the moment.
Give us a few words to describe you.
A very subtle and beautiful man.
Is there anyone you want to thank or
anything else you want to say?
I just want to thank all my friends who
have kept me going, my family that keeps
me going-just a positive outlook on life.
keeps me going. A big thanks to all the
sponsors I've had; to Yahway, he's a good
man or woman, wherever he or she is:
Todd Prince, thanks for all the motivation on
the vert ramp... I could
ramble for days.
Hallelujah and be true.
