I often get asked what goes on before a big contest or demo behind the scenes. The answer is that you'd probably never guess. One of the biggest, most physically demanding tours I've ever done was the first Boom Boom Huck Jam. There was a 'half time' during which all the athletes would come back...

Well, my bike did. I've been riding an 09 Hoffman Bama for awhile. It was a little heavy, but I loved the geometry. I saw Seth Kimbrough at Woodward Camp this past summer. I asked him if there were any plans to do his frame over again but make it lighter. He said he was riding one-a prototype...

Once upon a time (before I got into skateboarding professionally), I did go to college. I went to Radford University, a liberal arts school nestled deep in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia. I earned my BFA in visual arts there and graduated in 2000. If you would have asked me back then if I...

Just got back from surfing in Nor Northern Cali. The forcast was big, but this time it really was big. I took my 6'8" rounded pin out which has always gotten me into the waves, and I was a bit under gunned this trip. I was very impressed with what Nor Cal had to offer as far as waves, but the...
