> JDZ) What is your favorite spot?

What a stupid question you knucklehead.  It would obviuosly be Skatepark of
Cheyenne circa early 90s.  Skated that spot once and it was off the hook.

>
> JDZ) What do you think of Christian Hosoi being
> arrested

Didn't he get caught smuggling massive amounts of drugs into Hawaii?

>
> JDZ) What is your favorite music?

All enjoy all types of music.  Lately, I've been into Fela Kuti, minimal techno,
the faint, and modern improv.  Is that good enough.

>
> JDZ) Who do you think is the most influential skater?

A couple of the obvious ones come to mind--Rodney Mullen, Mark Gonzales, Natas,
Hawk, Danny Way etc etc.  But that's not too original.  As for picking one
that's pretty damn tough.  I'd have to go with Gonz of Way becuz they wrecked
shop on both vert and street.

>
> JDZ) Who inspired you when you were younger
>

All my friends back home in Omaha (Todd, Joel, Danny Steve, Jeff, the
Brauckster, Spaceman).  "Back in the day" we had a great time at Eat Concrete.

Lately people have been calling me bitch ass trick.  Cole came up with it.

> JDZ) Favorite tricks

frontside airs, kickflips, tailslides.

it can be fun as long as there isn't too many stressers there.  "guy's can't we
remember this is fun"

> JDZ) What would you like people to know about you?
>

That i'm (hopefully) a nice guy.  And i think they should buy nothing but
wolfpack skateboards.

> JDZ) What do you do besides skate?
>
Work.  consume massive amounts of vinly and follow baseball way too closely.

> JDZ) Do you have any pets?

no.

guitar.  i tried to be in band with juice but i wasn't good enough so i got
kicked out.
> JDZ) How would you tell a kid to get sponsored?
>

be patient. skate for fun and everything will naturally fall in it's place.
also, i heard if you do big handrails that helps too.  a dude sent a sponser me
to wolfpack and everything was at least 25 stairs.  he even stepped up to a
couple 50 stair rails.

> JDZ) Do you have any tattoos?

no.
> JDZ) Are there any up and coming skaters you'd like to

i must admit i found the 900 pretty impressive.

i'm not sure.  the other day at a contest i did some stupid noseblunt trick and
everybody was into.  couldn't really figure that one out.  the only thing it
told me was the people haven't been skating that long.  everybody used to that
kind of stuff "back in the day"

f/s kickflip f/s air.  the trick is begginning to tick me off.
