I’m a movie star”, but I think it’s cool, a lot of people,
like after the premiere, we were talking and they had
some kid like say hi and like, “Oh I like your part!”
I thought the film was great, it was put
together very well, the music was great and
of course the tricks and the skating he had
in the line up was just awesome.
Thank you.
So when you were doing the fimlimg, or the
skating piece did you know he was filming
you for the movie or did it start as homie
clips that turned into a film?
It kind of seemed like that at first, but I guess as we

he was like hey, youre gonna be in this video, and
I was like “okay cool” (laughter) it was like my first

Thank goodness for that! As you get older,
you lose friends and nobody wants to skate
with you, so take advantage of it now.
(Laughter)
Besides Skating, do you have any other
hobbies? On social media it looks like you
might play a guitar…
That is correct, yeah I play in my spare time. Not
really seriously but just like having fun. Kind of like
skating in a way, but yeah I feel like its another outlet
where say... you know how they say too much of a
good thing is a bad thing? I feel like that with skateboarding,
if you’re doing too much, it can kind of
seem kind of stale. So I kind of use music as another
outlet, its kind of like creative, and it helps. My best
friend skated, well we went to catholic school and he
used to be way better at skating than me and I used
