Years Riding?
2 1/2 years in May
What got u into riding?
I used to goof around for about a year on this home made piece of shit bike that I had. I used to ride small dirt jumps, that i could only get like a foot of air off of, and I also rode shitty little homemade jumps too. Then one day I went with Steve Curtis up to Dan Gurman's house (his friend). When I got there Dan, Aaron Reid, Derek Carrol, and Andrew Zenknor were doing some crazy shit that I thought at the time, was crazy. So I started riding with them and they were teaching me shit, but having a shitty bike and all, with no brakes, I saved up $450, and bought a Dyno Comp, and thats when I started gettin more into flatland.
Who are your favorite riders?
Anyone that is better then me, (lol)
What kind of music do you listen too?
Country, jk, um rap, hiphop, and pretty much anything though.
Do you ride during the winter?
NO, not really, here and there, maybe once a week, lol, I usually sit inside and master all the video games.
Do you have any other interests other then Flatland?
I like to pick up chics (summergirls) go egging with Gurman, party, drink, listen to music, and chat it up on the internet. Yeeeeeeeeea Bitch.
Who do you ride with?
Dan Gurman, Beefy, and others sometimes when there not taking drugs, or drinking. But in the summer most of us come out and ride. 2 years ago was the best for riding because there was about 20 flatlanders, but lots of them quit. On occasion I ride with the street riders.
What kind of style of riding do you have?
Gurman fucking loves it, oh yeah back to the topic.Um I like to roll and spin, but the style I have is mostly scuffing front wheel tricks. It will change with progression.
The interview is getting quite long, any last words?
Thanx to all of the people who supported me. The hamilton riders, and my parents.
