How often do you ride? Almost everyday.
Who where the last three people your rode with? Umm, it was a big session soooo mike malasciewski, kyle compass, kc strong, austen welter, tippy, alex arezina, and cody davidson.
What kind of music do you enjoy? All sorts of shit I aint naming bands cuz I am a selfish asshole and I am lazy, but hardcore, emo, and everything in-between and UNDEROATH.
If you work, what do you do? No more c4, so now I work at a family bike store building gts, schwinns, redlines, and mongooses. Its not hardcore or anything, but they are cool guys and its a job!
Favorite things to ride? I LOVE STREET. I love to ride anything and everything. Skatepark can be soo smooth and perfect, and trails are fun if I am in the mood, but street is where its at for me. I love the feeling of rolling down a street, riding from spot to spot, riding whatever I want. The best parts of street are that its so free, u can do whatever u want and if thats 20 stair handrails, a sub box, or a fucking curb its all good. Also, its awesome to be the first one to do a trick on something or look at something no one thought was possible or intended to be ridden and ride it anyway. Either way, some of my favorite spots are waterway in milwaukee, the china banks in new york city, chunk to junk in west allis, and any sub box.
Any other things you like to do besides bmx? Like I said above, I like to disc golf and chill. Also, me and my buddy mike mess around with acoustic guitars and sing pussy music about girls and other things. I love to play music.
Drink/Smoke? STRAIGHT EDGE this is forever
Where do you see yourself in 20 years? Happy. Teaching college in Milwaukee, living in a house with a backyard that I can do dumb things in. hopefully married I dont think I will have a sports car or motorcycle like most middle aged men. Kids probably even though I dont want any. I cant keep things in control sometimes though!
What is midwestbmx.net to you, if anything? Ha it is a website. It used to be the source of anger. I used to go the message board and get all fired up. But thats gone, so now I am less stressed!!! Ha, but, it is cool to see people motivated about bmx. So often I feel like no one gives a shit about this scene, but the truth is, be it a scene or not, its a big family, and its something I feel strongly part of and responsible for and Midwestbmx seems to help that family in a few ways. Its good to see people take pride in a community they are part of.
Who has inspired you on a bike? Ummm, I dunno, this is a weird question. At first I always rode with mung and thats it so it was just about having a good time by ourselves, but I think that I am inspired by different people every time I ride. Every session, someone is doing something that I am psyched on and that makes me psyched to ride. If its a young kid learning to feeble or a pro doing crazy shit, I feel inspired to ride harder.
What do you like to eat? A lot! And everything, but most importantly: MEXICAN!!!
What are some tricks that you like to do? I like to spin. Any type of spin is good and off of any obstacle out of any trick. I like to grind a lot too and I like everything I guess. I hate kick flips though.
What do you think your riding style is like? Like me. Its all over the place. I feel like I have influences from street to ramp and everything in-between and of course, nice and sketchy.
Your car? Ahhhh, I just got a new one it was sad to see the green civic go, but it had 225,000 miles on it, 90,000 of which I put on in three years. But now I have a nice new integra black and stealth!
Do you enjoy going to contests? Yes. I like them a lot. I dont like doing runs though. I enjoy going to contests to see all my friends, get the hell out of Milwaukee, and if its a jam format, I end up doing some stuff that I wouldnt normally do. I love that atmosphere where everyone is going off and going nuts. It can happen any time and if its on street its the best, but it often happens at contests so I like going for that.
How
many hours do you spend on a computer? Way too fuckin many. I am addicted
to talking on aim and I play with my ipod and shit a lot so I would say, combined
with homework
way too much.
favorite bike video & single video section? Dave Jacobs section in dk intuition.
Good ass music, good ass riding, amamzing style.
Shout outs? Oh yeah! I wanna say thanks to u guys at Midwest bmx for always trying to do stuff like this for the scene. Also, thanks to anyone I have ever ridden with ever, hanging with people and having a good time is what its all about. Thanks to rick at c4 rip and thanks to my family and close friends, u know who u are
