Hey how are you?
Doing alright, I guess. Been on the road with the Kink team for the last week and it’s been rainy and cold every single day. Shitty.

Where are you at right now?
I’m in Denton, Texas.

The year is done - i always feel like “What is it over already!?” and wish the summer could go on forever… Hows that for you? Any plans/need to escape the winter?
Sucks, right? I broke my ankle late in the summer so that really sucked. This winter I’ll probably take some trips to warmer climates and make weekly trips to Rays mtb park. Also, going to Australia for a month with the Kink team in March.

Can you nail it down to one trip in 2009 that was your favourite one? And why?
Taiwan with the Kink trip: unchartered territory, good crew to be with, good hosts, the list goes on… Just a great trip all around.

What was your favourite event of 2009?
Probably Brawlin’ at the Belmar comp. Drove up there with a bunch of friends from Pittsburgh, did the contest, then rode Posh and Catty the next day.

Whats was the worst event of 2009 you went to?
X-Games. Such a blow job fest every year.

Whats your most favourite web-video of 2009?

Whats the worst web video of 2009?
I dunno, man. I don’t usually watch too many web-vids unless one of my friends made it or stars in it. Watching that shit will make you sterile.

What was the worst thing that happened to you in 2009?
Broke my ankle. Got more grey hairs.

What was the best thing that happened to you in 2009?
Got engaged to my girlfriend of seven years.

Are you happy? I mean people seem to never be really satisfied with what they have - they always set another goal for the next year or want do better with anything. Hows that for you personally?
Yeah, I’m happy and really can’t complain. Even if I could complain, would you really want to hear it?

Cool. Finally whats your plan for 2010 - anything special planned? Been planning a wedding and that’s been pretty stressful, getting married will be pretty sweet though. Traveling to Australia for a month. Traveling Europe for a long time too. Probably do a few contests as well, do a few turndowns, few inverts, and that should be about it.

Thanks for this quick interview! Any thanks or anything you would like to add? Thanks to all my sponsors (DC shoes and apparel, Kink, Demolition, Duo, Action Village), all my friends, and thanks to you if you’ve read this far.
