How does it feel to be one of SLIDEs newest team riders? Its pretty awesome because i know a few kids on the team and I'm proud to be a part of the team now.

How did you get into skating? When I was little my friends skated and I used to mess around on his mini ramp in his back yard. Then one day my mom bought be a skateboard and I've been skating since then.

Whats with the pink hair? I've always had short hair all my life and I decided to grow it out for no apparent reason. Then my friend told me I should dye it pink so I did!
