I always had snow in my city during the winter, had to do something!

Too many good ones but my first turns in hobo hut where something special.

Describe your riding style. How do you approach freestyle riding and different terrain and features?

Real street boardin!

Any specific plans or goals for the season? Are you working on specific tricks?

Stack footage for the DWDxThink Thank movie. Gotta get a serious part!

What’s your favourite trick of all time and why?

Backside 180 because it is timeless and is dope on flat ground, rails or big jumps/cliffs.

Who do you like to ride with?

All of the snakes, sidepipes, pocos, dinos, dopers, bird gang and the greasers.
