Craziest person that reached out after your kickflip 50-50 at Staples went viral?
The one that sticks out is Ishod, he didn’t directly reach out to me but he left a comment on a post that got me pretty stoked. Also I ran into Chris Joslin at a skatepark in LA and he knew who I was, that was also pretty sick. I think those are the 2 most memorable ones.
What’s something people don’t know about Winnipeg?
That Winnipeg is actually pretty sick haha. It has a really good art and music scene and has a strong community. Summers in Winnipeg are a really good time. Also has some really good skateparks that people don’t know about if you’ve never been here.
Tips for surviving the winter up there?
Start snowboarding or something. Gotta learn to dress warm. Honestly there’s no tips winter here is brutal, it gets old really fast.
Favorite spot to skate in California?
The rose garden ledges at USC are fun. There’s also this perfect 9 stair rail that I make sure I go to everytime I’m in LA I think it’s at Bancroft Middle School.
What trick are you working on?
Frontside flips.
Favorite magazine cover of all time?
Honestly no cover has ever made me more hyped then when I saw the Chris Joslin tre flip down El Toro.
Go-to warm up trick?
360 flip
What trick(s) have you been working on recently?
There’s a bunch of tricks in the streets that have turned into multiple year battles but also working on some random ledge and flat ground tricks. Been working on switch back nosegrinds a bunch recently and also frontside flips & nollie frontside flips.
Am who should be pro?
Dylan Jaeb should definetely be pro.
What’s next for you in 2026?
Hopefully a lot of skate trips and another part or 2. I’d be psyched if I could go on more trips with my friends.
What does skateboarding mean to you?
As corny as it sounds it means everything honestly. I have met all of my closest friends through skating. I’ve gotten to go to so many places I definitely would’ve never been to if it weren’t for skating. I love this shit.
