Did you guys have any sketchy experiences while on tour?
When we were in Europe I forgot exactly where but we were driving from one demo to another and the rep. over there was driving fucking nuts passing cars almost killing us, Seamus handled it though. It was scary
How did you approach your part when filming? Anything you were trying to focus on in particular?
I just tried to skate and film as much as possible, a lot though just randomly happened, I like things that way.

The winter just sucks really bad there’s salt and sand everywhere so your grip goes to shit and u end up freezing your nuts off
Who in the crew usually pushes you to skate harder?
Probably Anthony Shetler I skate with him a lot and he’s really really good he can do any trick and he’s a cool person

I’m working on the emerica video Stay Gold so I’m gonna try an film a lot in the city for the summer and maybe some over seas trips we will see.
