Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Alice in Chains, Fishbone, Led Zeppelin and anything Mos Def touches...simply brilliant. Set-up: Pool/ Park - 8/125x32 STS Tree deck. Grind King 5.0, 58mm Powell SPF, Powell Ceramics / Ninja Ceramics. Longboards- Sector Nine Bomb Hills, Randall 150’s, S9 78mm wheels, Ninja Ceramics. Sponsors: Soul Trip, Fox Racing, Honorary WILL’S PUB (RIP), Galactic-G Skate Shop, House of Blues for allowing me the time to jump on a plane to follow my passion. Inspiration: My children Grace and Landon keep me young, smiling and happy. My friends keep me sane and push me and remind me to skate even when life tries to grab me by the balls. I continue to be inspired in life and skating by Bruce Walker, Kelly Lynn, Clay King, Craig Dupree aka CS2theD, OMB and the OSP, LM crews). The original Z boys crew inspire me for pure attitude and reminds me of why I do this. The 80's and 90's Alva Teams especially Danforth and Duncan. No to mention the 80’s/90’s Dogtown and Z crew, Eric Dressen, Matt Hensley, Kris Marcovich, Pete Kelly and all FLA skaters. I’ve never felt alone in my travels or skating. Recently, I am inspired by my second family... All the ABQ heads, GBMII, Palmer, Jonas, Ryan EP, Abe and all the heads that make me feel at home when I come out to their world. Closing Words: You can't expect the world to believe in you until you believe in yourself. You can't know where you are going until you show respect to where you've been.
