from: Buster Halterman

Hmm im not sure..some of the places i have been I didn't realized were gonna be so cool until i have went there.. but i think Australia will be the next place i would like to go to. I have some good friends there too.

28. So far, what is the coolest place that you've been during your travels? Why?

from: Buster Halterman

The coolest place i have been has to be Copenhagen, Denmark because its a really laid back and friendly place.. the people there are so cool and the skate spots are sick.

27. what would be your advise on someone who is a good skater but has trouble in bigger contests like Lg? What about getting used to bigger ramps?

from: sean

Going to those contest are good for you even if you don't do well. because you can see how the other skaters skate and you get to see the different styles of the skaters. it can also show you what you need to learn so you can practice it until the next contest. Getting used to a bigger ramp is hard for everyone but most of the skaters skate the larger ramps like he LG its just something you have to learn to adapt with.

26. what would be you advise for a good up and comer vert skater that is pretty good and then goes to a big contest like LG and has trouble getting used to a bigger ramp and then gets nervous around some of the other ams get scared to try and take a run in practice because he would feel like h would be wasting their time?

from: bill

Its no big deal to skate with the other guys the don't really care. but it is harder to get used to a bigger ramp its just something that you have to get used to
