I'm fucking born and raised in Utah, dude.
I still drive a fucking truck illegally that's with Utah plates.
I refuse to get a California driver's license because I fucking hate this place.
When skateboarding, they think of it like if you don't live in California, think of
it as like you're giving up, which is like fucking bullshit.
You can ride a goddamn skateboard anywhere you want.
It's not like you have to be in fucking sunny California.
If I could live anywhere, I'd live in Utah and just travel.
I grew up like rock climbing, riding, my dad was a pro motocross racer.
I had mountain bikes, BMX bikes, motorcycles, skateboards.
Skateboarding's like the love of my life, you know?
When I was a kid growing up, I had one of those space heaters that you plug in and then
go close my garage and leave all my parents shit out of the way and sit there and skate
flat ground.
It's just huddled in there, freezing my balls off, pretending like I'm doing homework and
I'm just really in the garage, dicking around doing nothing.
I think I've been pro for like eight years maybe.
I feel like I'm not even pro anymore, so fucking this little shit head kid at the skate park
is better than me, but whatever.
I don't know, I think my favorite thing about skating is just thinking about it, because
then it fucking drives me insane and I have a mental breakdown and then I go to the coffee
shop and get a coffee, which makes me even more excited and scrapped out than I have
an even gnarlier panic attack.
Thinking about skating.
I'm like a mental case.
You should see me get dressed in the morning, dude.
I just usually change like 45 times and then I end up putting the first fucking thing I've
looked at that I wore like the last two weeks straight back on.
I'm just like a fucking, I don't even know, dude.
I'm so lost in my own head that I'm losing it.
It's all about the personality and the charm, right?
That's why I get paid.
It's not because of the tricks.
I'm like one of those dudes that like, if I go snowboarding, I'm going to try to jump
the biggest jump or like hit the biggest rail, you know?
I don't like, it's just like no matter what I like to go, balls to the wall.
So I always get hurt doing everything, I'm shatter my arm, I fuck my knee up, then blew
my ankle out, then I hurt my shoulder and then I just blew my ankle out again.
That's like my deal.
That's why I don't ever do anything else anymore is because it's like I'm fucking always hurt.
You pay to play and then once you pay it enough, then you just get to play as much as you want.
That's another thing, dude.
I fucking, I got this badass Harley to fucking like whatever, custom made fucking chopped up
sports here, it's so fucking sick, but I fucking fucked my leg up and I fucked my knee up.
I couldn't hold the bike up for a long time, so I haven't ridden it for like a year.
It's pretty funny.
It's in Utah, but I brought it out here, but dude, riding out out here is sketchy, dude.
I think zipping around and like it's deadly, but like it's so fucking peaceful, dude.
It's so smooth and just like, it's like, you feel like you're just your own person, like
you don't have to care about anybody else or shit.
Skating, no matter what, you're like, you're always trying to impress someone or like,
and it's fucking, it's like freedom adds its best, dude.
I think that's what a motorcycle is.
Even like dirt bikes or shit like that, like if you can just go like, I grew up riding
dirt bikes with my dad and you just go out and like go to Moab and go camping for fucking
seven days and you maybe see people every now and then, you just like the whole time
and you're just always bobbing around just looking at cool shit.
