1. Getting a generic skateboard
for Christmas and having to share
it with my brother and sister.
2. I started when I was pretty
young, so I don't know what I
would be doing otherwise.
Skateboarding just became my life.
3. It could come naturally, or
you could work at it for years. It
all depends on the individual.
4. Mark Gonzales, Natas
Kaupas, Tony Hawk, Lance
Mountain and Steve
Caballero. These are the
guys I looked up to when I
started skating, and they're
still doing it now. And, of
course, everybody on Girl
and Chocolate.
5. Back in the day, I used to
reverse two of my front bolts
because I thought that would
help me ollie higher. It's scary to
think now that two jagged bolts
sticking up from my skateboard
could benefit me or my skate-
boarding in any way.
6. I don't know. We'll just have
to wait and see.
