Date of birth?

Where are you from?
Born in AK and moved to NP City when I was about 7, where I grew into the dirt bag I am today
Where are you currently and why?
Steve Nickolls place, Boozing and having a laugh
Who are the lovely people that give you stuff?
Mumsy and Dad, gave me life. Leigh Bolts, Johnny A, Mark Lahood and my bro (Jase) all gave me video parts. All the crew that have hooked me up lately with some nice cheap deals. J-Dubs hooks it up, Morri and crew are cool as, the crew at Khyber let me take bearings and hardware from the throwaway box, haha. Much appreciated guys and girls your all legends.

What’s your favourite movie quote?
Agent Smith’s speech to Morpheus on the Matrix is probably the one right now. Not exactly a quote as such, but whatever
What’s your favourite beverage?
Nippys Iced Coffee at the moment
What’s your favourite skate video when you were a grommet?
That’s an easy one. TRILOGY! Look it up kids… please
What’s your favourite skate photo of all time?
There’s only one that sticks out in my mind with out having to think about it to much the Tom Penny e-s ad doing a pop shove over a hip at some park. Ridic!

What song has the highest playcount in your iTunes (be honest)?
Okay. I’m being totally honest here, I’ve been smashing this album out lately.
What’s your favorite thing to do when not skateboarding?
Wow! Hang out with mates and party, lurk around social functions I’m probably not welcome at. Lust over females I’ll probably never have a chance with. Study and read up on shit I’ll never really use in real life (but it’s cool to know I guess). Generally anything that is not skateboarding, haha
What is the funniest clip on YouTube?
I don’t care what you think but this made me laugh my ass off
One spot/skate park for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Hmmm… the rest of my life. I’d have to say, maybe Starlin Square in Czech, Macba in Barca, Love Park including the court house across the road.
This is a tough one, I have never been to any of the above but I know each are everything I want in one location. Hopefully Aotea square when it re-opens

One trick for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I’m guessing if you have this trick it includes switch etc, so frozzas!
Where will skateboarding be in 10 years?
Mega parks, mega plazas. Provided the world still exists, hehe
Pro you wanted to be when you were a kid?
I think most dudes around my age and older probably went through a ‘Penny’ phase at one point or another. But I do remember wanting to be Donny Barley for a period of time. A mate of mine back in the day told me I had no neck when I skated, haha and I was Like “neither does Donny Barley”, so… yeah
Skater that inspires you the most now
Too many to name. All my homies I skate with on the reg

Skateboarding in New Zealand needs?
More pro hoes or bro hoes. That’s about it. In terms of New Zealand we’re doing pretty fuckin’ good
Predictions for next year?
The reptilians will reveal themselves to us and start the third great war and create a whole world government. The poles will shift and a giant wave will consume two thirds of the planet, the sun will blow up and Jesus will come back and say, “NAAAARHH GAAAMMIN!” Hahahaha, oh wait that’s the year after next. In that case fuck all, same shit different year, I guess
