Any new tricks you're working on?
New tricks? Wait and see in Benji's new video (next spring).

What's it like working with Benji? You think he'll be the next Spike Jones?
Benji's picky about the filming and skating. That might sound bad but it's dope when the filming is dope and the tricks look solid. Like he has made me re-do things before because he know that I can do it better and/or maybe he didnt like the filming or some shit.

Do your parents support your skating?
I love both my mom and dad. They're both pretty happy about it. I think my dad would rather see me do sometheing else but as long as I'm happy it's okay for him.

Do you spend more time on consistancy or learning new tricks?
If I learn a new trick I'll get it down before I film it. It might sound bad but I wouldn't film if I've never landed the trick or don't have the trick because it'll look like shit. Like it took you all day and 38,038,202 trys but you landed it. I hate that.
