How did you get started in riding? My Boi Will Mg. All time bmx hero. He's 35 now and still does more tricks then the Condor. He kepted me on the bike though. 
 
Where do you live now? The living situation is pretty cool. Still kickin it with my bro and pops. Same crib since.... well the crib.

What frame are you riding? Prototype Eastern. 21.25 TT with 7 different colors but i always go back to Flat black.

Who are some of your favorite riders? Definately all my boi's. Van Homan and Chris Doyle have always been in this Category.

Favorite type of riding? Anything new,tight tranny, parking bumpers
 
Favorite places to ride? SLSP R.I.P,UNCC,Gashouse,Nashville,Atlanta.

You had a serious crash a while back. How did that effect your riding? Well.... It's hard to believe its goin on 3 years this October.Time really flys by ,but i dont think about the crash inless someone asks about it.
I think my riding could be stronger mentally and physically if it wasn't for the crash. I am very pleased on how far i have came with riding and just life in general . The doctors said i would never be able to get back on a bike again but i proved them wrong. Doc's don't know everything.
My only weakness is my hearing and i cannot let that stop me from what i love to do. You may see me wearing a ear plug while im grinding a ledge/rail or in loud places, just trying to protect my good ear for the future.
I could go on with storys about this but this sums it up well. I have learned alot in life from that, soo love life.
 
Favorite music? When my ear is up for it.. anything with good breakdowns. Metal is my fav but old skool beats are good too.

Favorite movies? National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura, Me myself and Irene and Napolean Dynamite.
 
How tall are you?
74 "
 
Favorite sandwich?
1" thick peanut butter sandwich

What gets you really mad?
I dont really get mad to often. Hmmm when my dog pees on my pillow, chain breaks, flats, frat dudes, stuck up people, red lights.

What do you think BMX needs more of? brake riders, nontrendyness, Team Pimpske, CiCi Pizza eating contests, Local Jams, Goodtimes.

What makes you really happy? Knowin that I'm alive, family, friends, older girls, internet, car, learing new things at work, bmx, fresh Eastern Gear.

What else do you like to do other than ride?
workout, hang out with the bros and ladys, eat.
