You're riding for GT now, how's that going?
Its going great, my man Chuck has been puttin in lots of work designing frames, getting some fresh shirt’s and clothing designs made up. He also picked an entire new team of riders, guys that are not so trendy and just into the way bmx is supposed to be, just dudes out on the streets having fun on there bikes. I’m really happy with the way everything is going!


Does Chuck add to the package of riding for them?
For sure I love Chuck! He’s probably the best guy ever, every time I ride or hang out with him I have a blast I do a lot more laughing than riding its always a good time with him! He’s an amazing photographer too, but he is way to hard on himself sometimes ha ha he’s my boy for sure! If it weren’t for him I wouldn’t be riding for GT, so I gotta say thanks to my man Chuck!!

What's going on with tanner right now?
Wow, I don’t even know where to start?? Rollers going up over trees, a entire system of rivers running through the jumps, log fences, dogs dogs dogs, water falls, cute girls, mad people, happy people, stoked people, stunned people, crazy people, railroad ties, boulders, silk warms, wheel barrels, shovels, and binx!!!! Something always going on at the trails it’s my second home, and I have hardly ridden there this year! I love that place!!

How many hours a week do you spend down at Tanner?
It just depends, but on average probably about four to five hours a day. I live right down the street, so I usually go on a walk there at about one in the morning before I go to bed just to check on the place and make sure no one is messing stuff up. I put in way to much work to see it get destroyed by retarded kids who have nothing better to do with there lives. But all the work is time well spent, the most fun I have down there is when the “family” and you know who you are, all get together and just ride, than make a little fire after and just talk and chill those are the best times of my life! That’s what I think about every time I work my ass off down there!

How's the girl situation?
Ha all I got to say is girls are cool looking, and they smell really nice too!! I like them ha ha !!

What happened in San Jose, I heard you got frisked really good by a cop?
Speaking of girls… Yes in San Jose I got a nice “frisk” by a lovely cop, she was nice and treated me well. My boy Jay and I were stopped on our bikes in San Jose, riding back to our hotel by a lovely young officer she just wanted to check us out to make sure we weren’t up to no good stealing car stereos. She treated us nice and gave us a good “frisk” I was stoked after!

Does that entitle you to the name "McLovin"?
I don’t really know? But after I got back to the hotel and thought about what happened, I was super pumped!


How did you get into riding BMX?
My dad, and my friends I grew up with. But mostly my dad he bought me my first bike and I have just never stopped having fun on bikes since. BMX is amazing I have met all my best friends, and amazing people through it. I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world!!

Where's the one place that you could go to ride?
Right now I guess just tanner, its my dreams coming true I will have dreams about something I really want to ride and that place gives me the opportunity to make them come true with some hard work of course!!

Any crazy driving stories from the summer that you helped out on the Dew Tour?
OH yeah!! tons and tons of stories! sleeping next to bears eating all our food, and going through or camp site in Lake Tahoe. Cutting people off in Alabama, basically getting robbed in Sacramento, cooking swathes on our hotel balcony, driving through two tornados…. Countless stories, Jay and I had a lot of fun on those trips some of the best times of my life for sure!!

What's up with the oUTsiders?
Just Cam and I doing our thing we have always been doing since we where little kids… We went to school together, and have grown up together. We have always been a little different than all the other kids we grew up with so we have just been outsiders!!


So you're a 'greaser' then?
Ha ha no I have never greased my hair but Cam has been known to do it from time to time!! I think he should always run it personally !!

How long have you been growing your chin-strap beard?
Haha off and on for a year I guess its just me being lazy!!


Do you understand Cameron's trail lingo and wild word descriptions?
Yeah somehow I understand everything that he says no matter how crazy it is! I guess I have just known in for a long time, I consider him my brother for sure!

Drive or Ride?
Ride for sure!! No Question!!

Fish or Hunt?
Fish, I love fish I eat it a few times a week! Plus I would rather take a picture of a deer than kill it!!


By Plane or By Boat?
By boat for sure I’m kinda scared of the ocean but I’m really drawn to it as well. I love to look out at the ocean its hypnotizing to me!!

Last words?
I just want to say thanks to everyone on the fifty fifty team for always being there for me and being such good friends, I really consider my friends as my family!! I love all you guys!!
