Q&A - Personal

What has been your most embarrassing moment?

When i was like 8 years old, i went to a local skateshop, called Southport Rigging, and there was two different kid of ramps, a mini pipe and a half pipe. It was my first time ever trying to drop in. I was planning on going on both, but that didn't get to happen. I went up to the mini pipe and went down and fell right on my butt because there was a big nail sticking out from the ramp, and it went into my butt and scraped it. And I kind of screamed and there was quite a few people around me. It really hurt.

Why do you like this sport?

You get to just go out either just by yourself or with friends and you can just have fun doing what you want to do, doing classic tricks or makeing up your own. You can do what you want, the way you want to. It's pure freedom.

Some Personal Information About Me:

I'm 16 years old. I have been skateing since I was about 10 years old, so about 6 years. I currently reside in Paddock Lake, Wisconsin. I've been everywhere tough. I am the lead singer in my band Creeping Death, and all of my time is split between skateboarding and music. That's okay with me though. It's the way i want it to be.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

A Professional Musician or Pro Skater.

Describe your style...

I just go out and have fun. I don't kill myself over not being able to land a trick BUT i do try it over and over and give myself a heard time about it. I dont completely kill my self esteem about it though.
