Last video part that made you go skate?
If I see anything to do with skating I wanna skate, but lately Brandon Westgate gets me keen for a roll.

Things that annoy you while skating?
The fact that somehow kids know exactly where not to stand at parks when you’re trying something. I think my tricks are never good enough for what I think is good enough. Not having any water, snapping boards the day you grip them, security guards, tearing the ligaments in my left ankle preventing me from ever doing a decent kick flip again.

Best meal?
A couple packs of the blue Indomie Mi goreng noodles, but only if I make them. It’s a very technical procedure to get them the way I like them.

Worst meal?
Sour as lollies.

Favourite non-skate sponsor you’d back?
I’d back Countdown. It would be mean if i could just rock up to any Countdown store and grab whatever I wanted. I’d have to wear Countdown tees though, aww shit son.

Top 5 YouTube clips in current rotation?

Favourite album?
On The Sun- Black Seeds.

Last time you got nervous?
This year’s regionals.

Top five board graphics of all time?
The classic red Baker board, the Zero red bleeding skull, Sk8mafia naked chick deck, Flip Tom Penny Cheech and Chong deck, Toy Machine Trappaso board.

Most overused word in your vocabulary?
Bro.

What is one thing you can’t live without?
Skating. I turn into an angry person if I don’t skate at least once a week.

One thing you want to accomplish in 2011?
Skate more transition, mean bo!
