With a new frame out soon, a kid on the way and a busted shoulder, we thought it would be fun to send over a few questions to Ali to see what his life is like right now.

Check out the interview after the jump -

You just messed up your shoulder. How did you do it?
I was snowboarding and I followed a mate of a drop and when I popped of I saw a huge mogul. I tried to suck it up but it sent me over the bars and I drilled my head and shoulder hard into the ice. Game over.

Are you getting surgery?
Doc chow is the best and he says to wait 4 weeks to see if you heel up. If I don’t heel right and it still bothers me he has a procedure that he will cut a ligament of my rotator cuff and tie it to my color bone. There is no heeling involved, so I should be fine right after that.

How long has it been since you’ve been hurt?
It seems like it’s been a long time. I fell on my knee in March and sprained my MCL, I was out for a week. In late 05 I broke my wrist on a front flip in Vegas.

What’s the first thing that goes through your mind when you know a crash is bad and you’re going to have an injury to deal with?
I finally did it. I hope my bone isn’t sticking out my skin. I hope I can get off this mountain before I pass out.

Your wife Lindsay is pregnant. When is the baby due and how have you been preparing for that?
She is going to explode around Feb 17th. It’s funny because nothing is happening to me so nothing has changed yet. Just a lot of baby stuff around. I’m waiting for the life changing moment.

Boy or Girl, or do you know yet?
Were having a boy. So happy.

Have you thought of any names? If it’s a boy, Jay? If it’s a girl Darcy? What do you think?
I think your parents should be punished for giving your guys daft names. Haha. Louie Whitton. Get it.  jk.

Are you getting baby seats for the Ram or are you getting a station wagon?
Were looking for a mini van on 24’s with tv’s in the head rests.

You have a new frame coming out, what changes have you made from the last one?
The colour.

I hear you’ve been kickboxing lately. Is it true that you want to fight professionally?
No. But kickboxing is fun. It’s like riding all over again. There is so much to remember and learn. You can’t beat a good sparing session To get the adrenalin going.

Do you think all those emo guys who hate you for acting like a jock will hate you more now?
Don’t give a toss. Ill smash them anyway. Haha. I hate team sports I can’t be a jock??

Thanks man.
