Who do you skate with on a regular basis?
When i'm here in the west Danny or Syd if they're around. In london my brother Seth and who ever is around from the Landscape heads.
When did you start skating and why?
I started skating in 1987 after seeing Marty Mcfly tear it a new one in Back To The future.
Where's the best place you've ever skated? What made it so good?
My favorite spot in the world is in Paris. I don't know its proper name but it has big wavey blue blocks. It has a great floor which I always want in a spot. (It's called Marie D'Ivry - Glass)
Sheffield or London?
London. Sheff is not the same as it was when i lived there. Its still good and I miss skating with Baines and Rob but it feels like the scene has moved on from when i was there. I like london spots too.
Tell us a good story about skating with your brother...
I was skating with Seth and Pulman the other day and Seth found a little bike L.E.D light. The light flashed like a disco. Within seconds Pulman said "Be good for an under the sheets rave wank!" Thats as good as it gets.
What do you do besides skateboarding? Have you got a secret Star Trek fixation or something?
I have never been a Star trek fan to be honest. Star wars yes.
You love a craze don't you? Are you still fagging out on remote controlled cars?
No. I sold them all and bought a new telly for my kitchen.
Who would you least like to live with from the Landscape team?
Jin. He's too much of a chatty bastard, yak yak all day long.....
Who would you most like to live with from the Landscape team?
Joey. Maybe some of his gypo mystic luck would rub off on me.
Do you favour a certain kind of music? What have you been listening to?
Lots of things. It changes all the time. My son Logan makes me listen to the Happy Mondays every day. my favourite band is NEU!
Who are your favourite skaters and why?
This also changes a lot. At the moment Fred Gall, Jason Dill, Papalardo, Marc Johnson, Mark Gonzales, Lucas Puig .They all have unique styles and don't think in straight lines all the time.
How's fatherhood treating you? Are you constantly covered in baby sick?
I was the other night but the puking has calmed down dramatically from the early days. Its fun, amazing, tiring and magical every day. Never a dull moment but rarely a moment at all.
What's the best line from Monty Python's Holy Grail?...
"No.....Yes....a bit.... " or "Shut your noise you and get that suit on!"
What does your set-up consist of usually?
A board between 7.6 and 7.75, some 0.5 raw Destructos, some Landscape 51mm white wheels.
Tell us your 3 favourite video parts.
Jason Dill in Photosynthesis.
Mark Gonzales Video Days.
Marc Johnson in Fully Flared.
Fred Gall in Inhabitants.
What plans do you have for the future?
Hopefully finish this video part. Not go insane. Maybe get some rest at some point. Travel more.
