    How did you get started riding?
    Diamondback Viper + curbs then seeing the first Animal video. Hooked ever since.

     

    How did you end up on the OSS team? 
    Good question, I didn’t know any of the team personally when I first saw OSS Football but I became a big fan of the fun vibe and creativity everyone seemed to portray, the fact that everyone had fun riding together really shined through. A while later Adam came and stayed with me in Salt Lake and soon after got to know a good portion of the crew, somewhere down the line Adam asked if I would be down to be a part of the team and it’s been awesome ever since.

     

    What’s your best memory of riding with the OSS crew? 
    Denver! It was the first time I really got to meet a few of the other dudes on the team. Cramming into the van and blasting rap while we searched Denver up and down made for some great memories. We could roll up to pretty much any kind of set up and someone would have to perfect trick for it, nothing ever felt pressured.

     

    What is the best thing you saw or did during the Denver trip? 
    Shitty hollering for weed at some chicks with the hamburger hat on and it working out. Also Gabe Brooks sliding down the bull head was sick.

     

    If you had to pick one rider on the team who you like to watch ride the most, who would it be? 
    Tough question cause I like watching everyone but I think I can relate to Mastroni the most. He always surprises me.

    Where is one place you’d really like to travel to ride?
    China seems really cool.

     

    What is your ideal day like?
    Having the day off and waking up late. Making breakfast and having some time to clear my head and get psyched to ride. Then hitting the streets.

     

    What is you favorite thing to do when not riding? 
    Studying good art, listening to new music, working on my house, thinking about ideas to try next time I ride.

     

    What does OSS represent to you? 
    Rap, energy drinks, smoke, not respecting authority, back alleys, playgrounds, flat ledges, craziness, big rails, little rails, peg bonks, seeing each others genitals, more rap, art, filming, having fun, making fun, getting clips, Crumlish, Chipotle, flat tires, light beer, scrambled eggs, kickflips, grinds, lots of people giving us weird looks when we all roll up to a spot, a random array of character types, shit talking, having more fun than anybody.
