Did you ever think you’d go so far as touring in South Africa ? What are some of the other crazy countries you’ve toured in so far?
I never though I would get the chance to go to South Africa! It’s one of the craziest countries going. The craziest country I have visited would have to be will still have to be Holland, I go there quite a bit, Amsterdam to be precise, there is some crazy things to do/see at that place, words can’t even explain. 

Have you seen or heard anything about the skateboarding and spots around South Africa?
No I have never been informed about South Africa’s skate vibe, I do not know what to expect when we go there.

What are you looking forward to most about coming to tour here?
Everything! The plane, the landing, the sights, the food, the drinks, the beach’s, the people, the music, the buildings, the animals, the music, literally everything! 

Have you been doing much other touring or filming lately? If so, please fill us in.
Yes I recently moved to San José, so we have been filming. We where on a enjoi trip to the the East Coast, I injured my knee so I had to have a month off resting, but I can skate again and all is well, I leave for a month es’ trip today, preety exited.


If you could choose to be eaten by a shark or a lion which would it be and why?
That is a tough one! I would have go with the lion, as it would not be fun in water getting eaten, I would want the lion to bite my head off in one!
