I never thought I would be making the money I do and traveling like I do because of skateboarding. It all just happened.

What has been the biggest change in my sport since I started? Ummm....Popularity. It's been insane and fun!

It's crazy how these kids look up to you. They watch every trick you do, listen to every word you say, go out and buy your skateboards, your shoes, your T-shirts, because your name is on them -- they admire you and they look up to you. Everything I am is because of these kids. They look to skaters like me and they are the future of skateboarding. I won't lie, it's cool.

All I wanna do is skate the rails and the curbs. That's it!

Doing the Fandangle trick...well, it's the most elusive maneuver ever to be done on a skateboard. So, I can't really expose the secret, sorry.

My most memorable demos? All the ones I do with Rick McCrank. He just goes nuts, so people forget I'm there - it makes it easier for me to hide.

The most fun Contest was the 2001 Slam City Jam-the one everyone got ripped-off at.

I just kick a heelflip out - frontside 180, jump in the air and pray.

My body can't really take the abuse of three solid days of pounding. Competitions are fun sometimes, but they wear on me. A semi-final, to me, is just a waste of time, because you're going to see those people do the same tricks again. It gets repetitive and starts to lose its appeal. Contests are just too drawn-out. When you're worn-out, you don't want to put any more effort into slamming your body on the ground than you already have.

The progression of skateboarding seems to be getting more technical with a flip into a slide then a flip back out as well as going down bigger rails and down more stairs. I like to do all that stuff, especially when it feels good. I don't stick myself into one type of style, I would get bored with that.
