 | | | | | | | | | | | So do you rate Perth more than Livi?
Well, its easier to get to, so aye. Although Livi is brilliant.
How important do you think image is to skating?
I dont think it is important.
What do you think about scooters and snakeboards?
I suppose theyre good for a laugh, but I wouldnt go out and buy one.
Have you ever owned a fingerboard?
Yeah, I do [laughs]!
Can you do tricks on it?
Yeah, I can do impossibles!
Has being a skater ever helped make you more attractive to the opposite sex?
I dunno, youd have to ask them.
Do chicks dig scars?
No, they just pick scabs.
Do you wear pads?
Yes. It means you can get up and skate tomorrow.
Tell us about your history of crashes.
Ive dislocated my shoulder, ripped ligaments, torn tendons. Er, I broke my pinkie! But I would say dislocating my shoulder was the worst: my shoulders touched across my chest.
How did that happen?
I got caught underneath trying to smith grind a bench and the board hit underneath and I just went down like a sack o toys.
Do you find it hard to get skating again after a hard crash?
No, you need to get right back on that horse.
Which Hollywood skate film would you choose: Back to the Future Parts I and II, or Gleaming the Cube?
[Thinking] Oooh
Gleaming the Cube cos I went to the cinema to see it and we skated the cinema: it had a flat bank up to the screen.
Did you ever try and get pulled along by cars like in Back to the Future?
Oh yeah, we tried it with buses and all sorts but you cant really see whats coming, so when you hit a pot-hole you go down hard!
So would you recommend it?
No.
Do you have any last words?
Just live life.
