1. Go-to-trick:
Frontside flip

2. Warm up spot:
Foley spot Santa Rosa, CA.

3. Brian Gaberman memory:
Brian asked me if I had any Woody Guthrie records one day while we were skating. About a year later, I was in my studio that was on a bus mixing some records. I heard my gate open. It was Brian. He handed me an issue of Skateboarder and I was on the cover. I coudn’t believe it. Right then I went into the bus and pulled out a Woody Guthrie record and handed it to him.

4. Being teammates with Chris Pastras:
Chris is one of the funniest and smartest guys I know. He has hooked me up through out the years and kept me in the mix. He’s kind of like an older brother in a way.

5. Thing to do when not skating:
Making Beats and mix-tapes pretty much. Chill with the lady, go record shopping at the Goodwill and flea markets. Shoot photos and film.

Jason Lee, A Visual Sound (everyone had ill parts in that video)

11. Thing about wine country:
It can be boring if you don’t keep yourself busy, but it’s quite nice.

12. Skate photo:
Cardiel grinding that long rail by union square in SF. I think it was a Vans ad. No one is as gnarly as that.

Film

14. Country to travel to:
Portugal or Canada

15. Thing to get for free:
Love

16. Enjoi Trip memory:
