How did you start rollerblading?
My friends started skating and it looked like fun. I went to my local skatepark and tried out skateboarding. At that time I didn’t know that rollerbladers could grind. Eventually I rented a pair of skates and haven’t put them down since.
Who has the best royal in the business?
Too tough to call.
Why is ATL the best place in the world? 
Atlanta is a great place because of the atmosphere. Plenty of skateparks in and around the city. Great street spots and plenty of friendly people that are willing to skate.
What was the last thing you ate?
Steak, Udon, and Miso soup.
Why does Arlo wear pink jeans with zebra print v-neck tshirts?
It’s a free country.
Do you care about the condition of our planet?
Yes, I don’t litter and I’m starting to recycle. The farther I go in my chemistry studies, I find myself being more and more concerned with the condition of the planet and the long term effects humans have on the environment.
Do you recycle?
Yes, Glass mainly because it can be recycled 100%. When plastic is recycled only about 30% can be reused. Asking for paper bags at the grocery store is a great way to help the environment.
Do you do any other sports?
Frisbee is sweet.
Would you still drive a car if all the sidewalks were made like a trampoline? 
I would probably get a motorcycle.
How many push-ups can you do? 
2 many
What is the longest stair ride you have ever done? 
60+ stairs. It just happens to be the biggest possible rail I’ve ever skated.
Do you call skating backward fakie or just backward?
Fakie, it’s quicker to say.

How did you start rollerblading?
I first got skates to play street hockey and pick up girls at the roller rink, yet made the transition to what I do now by jumping stairs and doing stair rides. I have to say I was influenced by the mainstream TV media. The original MTV Sports/Music Festival, Airborne, and the X-Games all brought my attention the new “aggressive inline skating” so proper TV coverage is a good thing. Then when I saw it done first hand on a family trip to Germany I was hooked.

Gary Murphy!
Why is ATL the best place in the world?

Why does Arlo wear pink jeans with zebra print v-neck t-shirt?

Do you care about the condition of our planet?
Yes. Take care of Mother Earth.
Do you recycle?
All kinds of things…
Do you do any other sports?
Snowboarding, Hockey, Soccer, Tennis, Golf
Would you still drive a car if all the sidewalks were made like a trampoline?
Why drive when you can tramp? That would be so chaotic, but what a thought! I like it.

Almost 50

A 180 double stair set.

What is the longest stair ride you have ever done?
 Hahaha, yes, about 4 years ago me and Isaac Aiken went to 45 long stair set and did nothing but stair riding, it was sooooooooo fun. We would just go like mach 10 at the stairs and hope we didn’t eat it, Isaac definitely did the fastest stair ride anybody has ever done.
