SIX MONTHS.

ARE YOU HAPPY WITH HOW YOUR PART CAME OUT?
IT COULD'VE BEEN A LOT BETTER I THINK BUT I THOUGHT IT CAME OUT PRETTY GOOD. I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SKATE TO JIMI HENDRIX EVER SINCE I WAS YOUNG SO I'M PRETTY PSYCHED. I THOUGHT JAMIE WAS GONNA SKATE TO IT BUT I GUESS HE SAID I COULD SKATE TO IT. AND THAT'S COOL.

WHAT DID YOU DO TO PASS THE TIME WHILE YOU WERE HURT?

SO YOU'RE PRETTY COMFORTABLE IN WHITTIER. IT SEEMS LIKE YOU DON'T LIKE TO GO ON TRIPS?
UGHHH (LAUGHTER). I DON'T KNOW I JUST MISS HOME TOO MUCH I GUESS. EVERYONE SHOULD COME DOWN TO WHITTIER TO SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE.

IF SOMEONE VISITED YOU IN WHITTIER FOR A DAY WHAT WOULD YOU GUY'S DO?
IN THE MORNING I'D TAKE EM TO THE PARK AND SKATE THE BOWL BEFORE 1:00 CUS THAT'S WHEN YOU GOTTA WEAR A HELMET. BUT BY 1:00 IT'S TOO HOT TO SKATE ANYWAY. THEN FOR LUNCH WE COULD GO ANYWHERE. THERE'S ALL KINDS OF GOOD SPOTS TO EAT. WHATEVER YOU WANT: THAI FOOD, MEXICAN, WHATEVER. WE'D GO TO CHRIS & PITT'S. IT'S A BBQ SPOT AND THEY HAVE THESE GOOD-ASS ONION RINGS. I JUST GO THERE AND ORDER THE ONION RINGS. AFTER WE'D PROBABLY COME HERE AND SKATE THE RAMP, DRINK SOME BEERS, PLAY SOME PING-PONG. AT NIGHT WE GOT A BUNCH OF FRIENDS AROUND WHO ALL HAVE HOUSES. PRETTY MUCH A PARTY EVERY WEEKEND.

WHAT'S UP WITH MYSTERY SPOT IN THE WHITTIER CEMETERY (THE HILL)?
GRAVITY HILL? YEAH GRAVITY HILL IS PRETTY TRIPPY. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S REAL OR NOT. YOU GET ROLLING DOWN THIS HILL AND PRETTY SOON YOU STOP AND START GOING BACK UP THE HILL BACKWARDS.

IN A ZERO AD A WHILE BACK THERE WAS A PHOTO OF YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER POPPING A PROPER OLLIE. HAS HE BEEN SKATING MUCH?
HE'S FRICKEN GOOD NOW! HE'S 7 BUT LIKE OLLIEING 6 STAIRS AND BOARDSLIDING THE RAIL IN THE ALLEY BESIDE MY MOM'S HOUSE. I SKATE THE RAMP IN MY BACKYARD WITH HIM. HE CAN DROP INTO THE 6 FT.
