How often do you skate a week?
It's been almost everyday lately... Me and my brother Gantry just built this awesome plastic composite bench that we like to skate at night. We film tricks on it with our little digital camera.
How long does a board tend to last?
Anywhere from five minutes to a week. I have to change my board before it turns into shovel tail... I had a pretty bad experience when I was kid with a sharp tail and some shorts...Not good.
Favorite Skaters:
Gantry Hill, Arto Saari, Ben Gilley, Sean Bolis, Pat Brennan
Favorite Skate Spots:
My butter bench, the Rite Aid two stair by my old house, Berci and Le Dome in Paris, and O-Side Hubba
Favorite Travel Spots:
I like Russia a lot. I could go there without a skateboard and still have a blast. London's the same way. There's a bunch of cool creepy pubs and alleys there . But if you fancy rope swings and 80 ft cliff jumps into the ocean I'd suggest gettin yourself to Canada...Quick.
Favorite Music:
I listen to the blues mostly. Guys like blind Willie Mctell, Leadbelly and Bukka White.
Favorite Movies:
All the 007 movies, Sweeney Todd, Harry Potter, Count of Monte Cristo, Saawariys, and Cold Mountain
Favorite Authors/Books:
The Harry Potter Series, The Myths of Greece and Rome, Things Fall Apart, Wicked, Aesop's Fables, The Looking Glass Wars
Quotes:
"Don't Look Back"
Personal Heroes:
My brother, Bob Dylan, Jack White, James Bond, Ranbir Raj, Heath Ledger
Hobbies off board:
I like breaking things down, like taking furniture apart and painting it or staining it, and re-upholstering it. I haven't really understood why its so awesome and relaxing but it is. Something about seeing anything in its simplest, rawest form and then changing it to make it your own has always been really interesting. I'm also a huge fan of this game that me, Gant, and our pal Danny made up. You pretty much stand 30 feet away from a garbage can and try to throw a long wooden stake into it like a javelin. A great game for all ages really. Me and the lady are also into aerial arts, like "the tissues" and the "flying trapeze".
Best Day of your Life:
The day I flipped my board and finally landed back on it... sorry, but there's just no better feeling in the world than that first one.
Worst Day of Your Life:
The day I quit drinking soda
Perfect Day:
A perfectly free day at Six Flags is always a perfect day!
First thing you do upon waking up?

Last thing you do before going to sleep:
Wonder why i cant have the same flying dream every night
