Q&A - Personal
What inspires you to compete?
Having people better then me inspires me to compete. It helps push me so I can become a better skateboarder.
Why do you like this sport?
I like skateboarding because it is an independent sport. When I was little I tried various team sports but there was nothing that I liked. When I came across skateboarding, I loved it so much because there aren't coaches to yell at you.
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
I usually skate in Philadelphia at Woodward Skatepark of Philly 4 days a week. It is the closest place that has a vert ramp to my house. It is almost 2hrs away but I go there four days a week. My parents and I split up the drive so it's not as bad. When I'm not skating vert, I use my trampoline in my backyard with an old skateboard deck or snowboard to try and get my spins and flip tricks better. Also, when I don't have access to the vert ramp, I skate street, bowls or mini ramp. I also work out by running at at the track, lifting weights and ect.
Do you like to travel? What's your best (clean) road trip story?
I love to travel, but I think getting trapped in a flying metal tube sucks! The furthest away I have been from New Jersey is California, Oregon and Washington. I went there for skateboard competitions: Oregon Trifecta 2007 and X-Games 2008/2009. See my "Results" section to see how I placed in those events. But anyway, I've never been out of the country but I would love to go to the Caribbean, Amsterdam, New Zealand, or anywhere that doesn't suck!
Music?
I always listen to music when I skate. I listen to all sorts of music: alternative, rock, techno, hiphop...Some of my favorite artists are Green Day, The Used, New Found Glory, Bob Marley, Ziggy Marley, Grateful Dead, Muse, Pitbull, Pink, Passion Pit, Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, and many more...If you've ever seen me, I have noise reduction headphones, so sorry if I didn't hear you when you tried to talk to me! I try my best to try realize when people are talking to me when I have my music on.
