How long you been taking photos/filming?
professionally? did it for about a few hours. shot a couple ads and pics for an interview, but i don't have a photo camera.
i been filming for about ten beers, polishing turds n barely scraping by.
Who/What're some of your influences?
influenced by good times, great oldies. speaking of oldies, i almost bagged a 54 year old bird tha other night at tha bar n tagteamed her with my buddy gre also influenced by innovative, creative skateborading. micah hollinger, jerrod saba, todd frost, louie barletta, ronnie creager and matt rodriguez are great examples of these. all dudes who rip at skating and living. other fools who inspire me to keep doing what i'm doing are such nerds as levi brown, marty murawski, steve chavosky, a crew tha illa, jani, shit...so many to name, i dunno...just pretty hyped on skateboarding.
booze influences me to get my nuts out there.
riding bikes around town, ghostriding on autopilot. pretty hyped on that shit.
Favorite time period in skating ?
i made some local vid "be you". during this time, which was only maybe 2005, while editing, i was hyped on skating. nowadays i find myself freakin out a lil more, people coming down on me for living this lifestyle. fuckkk, though...i'm feeling it. scrapin by eating bagels n some water.
What's on the Ipod ?
about a zillion shitty songs that nobody wants to hear.
rodney dangerfield, macho man randy savage, some other shits
a ton of sappy love songs
about 160 nickatina tracks
oldies like whoa!
dead moon
rock n roll for daaaaaays
some animal sounds, sex sounds for mood setting.
Who's your favorite person to shoot with?
jerrod gets purple from stress. micah always has some fun. levi is crazed. a crew - airbiscuits. heh heh...i dunno. i'll only skate n film with people i'm comfortable around, not tryin to come up off some loser turd. just tha homies, thanks.
What takes up your time outside of shooting skate photos?
filming.
lots of intoxicated happenings as of late. it gets hot here in az.lots of porn in tha mix. photoshopping weird shit. i dunno. sleeping's in there.
What's a typical day like?
wake up, sometimes confused as to how i got here in my bed. like this morning, i woke up with scrapes all down my arm and hippers on both sides. vaguely remember trying to skate home from tha bar on my cruiser, but couldn't stand up and i was eating shit. so steve, my buddy, took tha board and i hopped on tha bike. he tells me today that i was using him as my target for destruction, and i nailed him off tha board sending us sliding into some rocks on tha side of tha road. so i try n remember tha night before, and then grab a bagel and scrape tha last of the hummus from tha pail, and somehow it's ALWAYS tha last of tha hummus. so i eat around noon, lurk tha computer for a bit, until someone gives my nuts a jingle. go skate a park until errybody's there, and then shralp a dusty ol' ditch or some shitty spot. don't light 'em up anymore, i found an interest in bar scene. if it's tuesday, i'll hollar at tha dollar theatre, 'cause it's only a buck fifty tuesdays. eight nights out of tha week, i'll find myself drinking goodtimes. not saying that's a good thing, persay, but it makes these memories go away. stumble in around 3ish, repeat. all tha while i am listening to jams. always jammin.
Pet peeves?
downplaying lines. like if someone can't get their shit in tha first couple tries, they drop a trick or do a different trick that's not so good, just to get something. i think that's kinda weird, but it happens to tha best of us. gas money. nobody pays that shit. sundays in denver...
waking up to wood polish with tha worst headache/high.
this 118 degree heat is kinda shitty.
packing for trips.
Whatchu thank?
i thank my ass is about to explode. you've got your troubles, i've got mine.
