Why do you stay in Texas?  

It’s comfortable, and I can be lazy. Dallas and Austin have a good skate scene.  Eventually I want to make a move, maybe SF. Some crazy shit happened just  yesterday. I hit a deer at 70mph. 

Damn dude, did it die? 

I don’t know man, I just had to keep driving. It was nighttime and I was in the  country outside Austin. 

Why did you turn down Zero boards? 

It didn’t feel like I was part of the brand. I was just getting boards with no real  path forward. Steve over at DOA keeps it fun and not too serious. I still haven’t met  him in person, but we FaceTime and help each other out whenever we can. 

Did you really grind a 56 stair? 

It was actually just a 47 stair, people tend to exaggerate things. It was in  Huntsville, Texas. Huntsville is famous for having the most death penalty  executions in the US. The cops were dicks. 

Wackest thing currently going on in skateboarding? 

Over saturation of skating on Instagram. 

VX or HD? 

VX is more fun and looks cooler in my opinion. 

Most memorable moment of your recent SF trip? 

That TSpliff kid getting his shoes taken at Union Square. 

Any Shoutouts? 

Yeah I want to thank DOA, Northern Co, Steve Fletch, Chris and Ryan for letting  me stay on the couch. Select Skateshop in Houston, New Balance, Loophole  Wheels, Olympia Supply, and Fat Hog Legs. Peace.
