What’s your favorite skate trip you’ve been on?
It was a Birdhouse SF filming trip with Eaton, Goemann, Figgy, Loy, Shultz, and Conway. We went into some Asian brothel/bar and there was a fight right when we walked in. That’s how you know it’s a good bar. Also, some bum punched out the side mirror of our van. Eaton took care of him.

Working for the Tony Hawk Fan Club. Those were the days.
What is the best thing about San Clemente park?
The flatbar because it’s so low and buttery. I’m still waiting to beat Figgy at a game of SKATE on it. Back when he was on, he said if I ever beat him, I had to kick him off the team.
What do you think about Sean Eaton?
He’s a good pal. I’ve had lots of fun and crazy nights with him. Come back to me Sean.
