How long have you been living in California?

It's been about 9 months now. Yikes!

Is it officially home yet?

Sort of, our daily routine is great here. I just wish all of our family was out here as well. Skating street on the East kills skating out here in Cali (sorry but it is straight up true). You can just skate around at real spots, there isn't a posse already filming there, or cops stalking the joint.

Are there plans to ever move back to the East Coast?

I would like to eventually, even if it is to go and die. I wanna return to where I came from.

Are you getting more into the business world of the skateboard industry?

Yes and no. I was more in tune with how the skate shops run and survive while in Philly. Now I am learning what sells to who, cost efficiency, and what not.

You have been biking lately, what got you started on that?

Robbie Morales, of FIT BIKE CO. is a skate fan. Super cool dude; I got hooked up by him. It is really fun, and different from skating. It gives you that awesome feeling of learning tricks and doing something gnarly, just like skating. The difference is you have a new set of rules. You can't kickflip, but you can (not me) bar-spin.

Most skaters are not into biking due to the fact they chunk up ledges, and are pretty brutal on skate spots. What is your take on that?

I felt a similar way when I was younger. The difference between good bikers and beginners is good bikers do minimal damage to a ledge. They don't slam down very often. I, for instance, don't grind ledges for that reason. If you look at videos of bikers though it is sick! The whole FIT team kills, Garrett Reynolds' part in the Nike video, Van Homan...there are tons of awesome dudes.

Your son Wyatt has his own board?

Yeah! For Christmas, Jamie got the woodshop to make Wyatt a perfect sized board for him. It is so legit, it has 7 plys, my Flashback graphic, and it is a 'Jamie' shape, just shrunken. I have a 49mm wheel out, so those are on there too. I ordered a board for myself, which you will see in the upcoming months on the ZERO site.

Does Wyatt shred?

He does! I am really proud of him, he can pretty much ollie. He rides by himself, and can go up about a 3 foot quarter pipe and roll fakie back. So sick.

How often do you guys skate together?

Almost everyday. He loves to get out and do active stuff, and obviously I do too. He is my best friend.

What happens next for you as far as video parts after you put out a part like 'Ride The Sky'?

I wonder that after every part. It gets hard, but you just chip away trying to be the best you can. That's all you can do right?
