BRENTON PRIESTLEY///INTERVIEW 7-10-14<br />

So... Where you from and how old<br />

BRENTON: Melbourne Australia and I’m 25<br />

When did you get into Wake<br />

BRENTON: Been wakeboarding since I was 7 years<br />

old. Always hitting up the lake on family holiday.<br />

I guess ever since then I haven’t stopped.<br />

What’s the coolest thing about<br />

Americans What’s the worst thing<br />

about Americans<br />

BRENTON: I find that a lot of Americans and the<br />

friends I have in America are very similar to<br />

Australians. And the worst thing Probably when<br />

people flip out on my accent and try to fuckin’<br />

repeat it. That’s pretty annoying.<br />

What’s the coolest moment for you<br />

this year<br />

BRENTON: Um...Probably learning a Double Indy<br />

Tantrum over a set-up out in Germany. That was a<br />

pretty cool moment, to learn something new.<br />

So... What kinda music you into<br />

BRENTON: I like a lot of Rock n’ Roll. Old 80’s<br />

music and stuff.<br />

What other sports you into<br />

BRENTON: Skateboarding, skydiving and surfing.I used<br />

to snowboard. I kinda just like standing sideways.<br />

So what you been working on<br />

BRENTON: Right now I’ve been working on a video<br />

part and trying to winch a lot. Do some different<br />

shit and hitting a lot of urban spots. I’ve been<br />

filming since September and have only about 6 winch<br />

spots. Lot of fuckin’ hard work, a lot of building<br />

and lugging shit through the mud and hopping fences<br />

and shit. Definitely not going and getting a gas<br />

can and riding behind a boat for 30 minutes.<br />

Hey, so is it true that wombat poop<br />

is cubed Does this mean they have a<br />

square rectum<br />

BRENTON: Hu... I don’t know Where you getting<br />

this information from All I know is that<br />

Wombats are gnarly little things. They’re so<br />

solid, If you hit em with a boat trailer they’d<br />

almost flip the boat trailer.<br />

One thing you live by<br />

BRENTON: To live I guess! Living to work not<br />

working to live.<br />

What’s your overall thoughts on the<br />

state of wakeboarding<br />

BRENTON: It’s only fuckin’ going forward. I mean<br />

when I was younger I kinda had it in the back of<br />

my mind that all the other sports were going to<br />

look at wakeboarding like it’s going to be the<br />

next rollerblading. But now with all the bigger<br />

gaps and winching and all the shit we’re doing<br />

like doubles and inventing new tricks, it’s only<br />

going forward and getting crazier. I don’t think<br />

it’s going anywhere and it’s good to be a part<br />

of wakeboarding right now. It’s a lot of fun
