In your opinion, the most inspirational or culturally important skateboarder is? My favorite skateboarder has to be Christian Hosoi or Lance Mountain, their styles flow so well and they have inspired my way of riding and lifestyle.

Do you ride a surfboard? Yes.

Preferred terrain? Skateparks.

If you had to choose between life as an Earth Wizard or life as a successful blind pianist, which would you choose and why? Definitely the blind pianist…. I mean what girls like a wizard, they are so dorky. At least the blind pianist would be able to spit mad game.

What drives you the most when riding a Riviera? The sound of those wheels when they power slide, along with the flow and the speed of the boards. They all have their own unique curves, like a girl, they are so different that you want to explore them all.
