What Bern gear are you rocking this winter?
Stuff that looks sweet and still protects my dome like the Baker
and Macon.
What are your plans for this winter?
Try to stay away from Tom Brokeoff (he's bad news), get some stuff
for the new Think Thank flick, shoot photos with some homie photogs,
get health insurance, and keeping it 90.
Best trip you have taken in your career?
Probably Whistler B.C. my senior year in high school with my boy
Ray Mund. Got knocked out on the last day riding (that was before
Bern helmets were around) and details after that were a little
hazy, but it was sweet from what I remember.
What would you do if you were not a pro shred?
Still shralp a lot but more on my own terms, definitely not waking
up at 4 a.m. to build a cheese-wedge.
Influences?
Growing up guys like Peter Line, Gabe Crane, and guys from AK like
Jason Borgstede and Jesse Burtner. Lately, I'm more influenced
and have respect for the people I get to ride with a lot like Kevin
Meaney, VJ, and most of the Think Thank guys like Ben Bogart, Jed
Hoffman, and Gus Engle to drop a few names.
What are your bad habits?
Creating bomb-holes, I'm a pretty big boy. I also eat enough fast
food that would put a normal person on life support.
What makes you happy?
Lots of things; mom's cooking, riding with fun people, certain
songs, certain people, lots of little things.
What is your biggest fear?
Becoming paralyzed.
What is in your Ipod?
A defective battery that only lasts half an hour, it's old though.
Lots of Wu-Tang Clan, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jimmy Eat World, Ratatat,
Postal Service, some Aphex Twin, a dash of Bloc Party, with a twist
of Ween, to name a few.
Favorite food?
Depends on what mom's cooking. Katsudon (Japanese pork cutlet),
I like almost all forms of pastas, and Top Ramen when times is
hard on the boulevard.
Favorite Movie of all time?
Simple Pleasures, maybe Madagascar or the original Star Wars Trilogy.
Other Sponsors?
Aside from Bern; Imperial Motion Clothing, Venue, Northwave, Drake,
Bakoda, Smith, Mission Six, Northernboarder.
Goals in life?
Be happy
Last Words?
I'm not dead yet.
