How long have you been smoking?
Why's it always gotta be about smoking? It's been 22 years now, so.

How many ciggs do you burn through in a day?
I've been averaging about 2 packs a day for the last few years.

Have you ever fell asleep smoking?
I've ruined a couple duvets.

How old were you when you learned piviot to fakies?
I really can't remember, I'll guess I was probably 15.

Can you back lip a rail?
No fucking way.

How many people do you think still have a copy of Damaged?
I have like 10 copies, need one? There were like 30 dudes in that video so at least they probably all still have one. So, at least 30 dudes.

How old were you when you moved away from Maine and headed west?
As soon as I graduated high school and saved up enough money, I was 19.

Have you ever thought about moving back home?
I've thought about it and I don't think I ever want to. I just went out to Austin, Texas and I kinda want to move there now.

How often do you smoke while you are skating?
I usually just do that when i'm filming or shooting a photo.

Is it easier to smoke while riding a mini ramp or bombing a hill?
It's alot easier to light up if your standing on the platform, lighting your smoke while your rolling can be a bitch.

Are you filming for a video now that the Krooked video is complete?
Sort of still wrapping up the Krooked video and working on a Vox world tour video too.

Who has last part in the Krooked video?
Either Van or Bobby, I'm really not sure yet, Velluci's been editing his ass off the last few weeks.

When was the last time you were pissed at a kid?
I got bummed at an old dude carving around the park today with all his pads and shit, I wasn't thinking about strangling him with his chinstrap or anything though. I heard max knocked some kid out for talking shit the other day. I guess the kid was pretty much asking for it.

Have you ever swallowed a spider?
Yeah, so. I got 40 bucks and back then 40 bucks went a long way.

How many spiders have you eaten in your lifetime?
Only one on purpose.

How many posionious spiders have you consumed?
I don't think it was poisonous so I'll go with none.

What is your favorite thing to do when you are not skating?
Text messaging is pretty rad.

Have you ever used a pair of shoes for a pillow?
I usually use my extra t shirts when I have to.

Who are your favorite people to skate with?
I don't really like skating with other people very much.

What video gets you psyched to skate?
Lately Daewon and Dennis in the Skate More video.

Who are you sponsors?
Krooked, Vox, Spitfire, Venture, and Pops.

Any good advice for the kids out there?
nope.

j'ai droit de dire que Dan Drehobl est un connard, pas cool, un bon américain de base pas très ouvert ?????

Mais qui skate méchament bien.

Biensur que tu as le droit.
Perso, je ne le connais pas et je ne l'ai meme jamais rencontré.
Tout ce que je sais c'est qu'il skate méchament bien et qu'il a un putain de style.

~J'adore son skate~ et je trouve aussi que son "look" est très ricain!!!
