Awkward question?

Stay in, was dishes at the infamous Denny’s, and make music via the
Keyboard, guitar or ableton.


How long have you been riding for?
Hmmm not really sure, 3 warm seasons maybe.


Most of us know of your dog Abby (R.I.P) being quite the savage haha. Tell us one of the most wild story
you can remember about her.
That dog could eat…and drink. A dozen buffalo wings (bones and all) and a few beers were nothing to her stomach.


What is one of your favorite things being a part of The Garden family?
Good crew, no beef. Plus Lou keeps it hood.


What one topping can you put on anything to make it taste better and where more is better?
Ketchup

Whoever is chillin at the common any givin day usually makes for a good krew.

Living in the Pittsfield durning the summer and living in Burlington during the school year
how do you feel the two riding scenes differ from each other?
Pittsfield scene is thriving, so many kids getting so good. I credit this to the common being such a simple park, so instead of kids trying to find lines, everyone will just sit and try a new “stunt” all damn day. Burlington scene is wack, theres one chill kid Alex the rat that I ride with, he’s about 7 haha.


So i hear you theres a story about you braking into Dick's Sporting Goods please elaborate.
Got drunk, opened up the tractor trailer truck, stole guns, bad idea.

Top choice of beer?
Everyone drinks the Vermont craft bullshit up here, I’m still hyped on a PBR keg.


What other hobbies do you have besides riding bikes and partying on the reg?
Hmm losing phones, building up fixies, dubstep shows, monopoly Mondays.

What’s up with your obsession with Lada Gaga?
Pop culture icon, shock artist, possibly a dude even tho I don’t believe the hype, its all good.

You’re a regular viewer of the come up, what do you think the come up is doing for bmx?
Keepin’ it classy.

Whats one thing your home town Pittsfield, MA needs?
It’s getting cliché to say a skatepark, how about a public pool?

What plans/projects do you have lined up for this summer 2010?
Get an apartment in the hood with TheJakeSeeley for the summer,
film a part for The Garden vid, finish school then move to Texas, who knows.


Any last words or thanks?
What up to everyone down in the 413, somebody needs to go rescue
Matt Prosser and get him outta the Pitt!!
