3 things you do after you wake up every morning: Drink coffee, check hotmail and feed and walk the dogs.
Top Five Bands of this year: Still the Sounds, DMX, Young Jeezy and CBC radio...I dont really listen to a lot of new music so I dont know.
Top 3 web videos of this year: Jason Enns, Eva Angelina and Strange Crew.
What inspired you this year: Jason not being fat anymore. Brett walker for being fun and good. Getting married. Not sure why it inspired me but I think I'm supposed to say that.
Top 3 movies of 07: That Bourne movie, Freedom Writers and American Gangster.
Things you learned this year that you're pumped on (could be anything non bmx related): Still learning how to work on my house properly, thats one. Learned to cab-bars. Well i did one so far. Learned that almost every trip to Home Depot costs about a hundred bucks, so I try to stay away.
What would you be doing if you weren't riding a bmx bike for a living: Right now I drive a snowplow...and id like to think i wouldnt be doing that. Hopefully I would be working with troubled kids because there are way too many of them.
Can you give us a one memorable quote from the movie RAD: I dont want to give the obvious ones like the ass sliding one or when Rick asks crew to sign his cast. It's been at least 5 years since I've seen it...so NO.
Best photographers in bmx: Manu Sanz, Rob Dolecki and Dave Friemuth (he shot my wedding photos too)
Name the first pro rider put on Volume (excluding Castillo): Jason...the first one that mattered! haha
What's your word of 07: Seriously? People like it when you ask them if they're serious when they say seriously. I say "right on" a lot apparently.
Why Gypsy (catalog): Why what? Very informative and insightful.
Shout out: Brian for having me. Jason for talking Brian into it. My wife. Povah for the linkin park trip and Nate for hookin me up.
