Where was the best place you visited this summer?
Nashville, since it was the only place I visited this summer. They have a really relaxed and tight scene, not to mention some of the best spots.

What is the newest skate dvd you purchased?
There have not been many new one recently, but the most recent one I bought was Vibralux On Top.

What kind of cellular device do you have?
iPhone 3G

Could you live without it?  For how long?
No, I feel lost whenever I don’t have it on me. I kinda bugs me how reliant I am on technology.

How has blading made you a better person?
Exposed me to many different lifestyles and personalities. It has created a driving force within me to be creative and not settle for things “in the box”.

If you didn’t have blading where would you be right now?
Face down in a ditch maybe, haha. I don’t know, I think about those types of questions alot. I don’t things would be much different, I would probably alot more focused on art and music, but I think in the long run I would end  up where I am right now.

Do you think you personally contribute to creating new bladers?
Not to creating new bladers, but I contribute to educating non-bladers. Like my roommates, none of whom blade, now watch skate videos with me and know a bit about the industry. Educating a person on skating is the 1st and most important step to someone who might start blading. Every blader should know about the industries history and the key players within it, past and present. If there is more education in new bladers, it will create a more fruitful industry and reputation.

If yes, how?  If no, why not?
Woops, read the response above, I kinda went off on a tangent.

Current set up:
Salo Rob Thompson’s w/ Razors souls and backslide, Ground Control Frames and Face Wheels.
