How are you?
Tired and sore, but good.
How are things going with Vans these days? I’d imagine you are filling this out while you’re on the Wheels of Rock Tour? How is that going for you?
Things are going good with Vans. For now, I’m on the Vans Wheels of Rock and every thing is awesome on this trip, the staff, the crew, the band, and the bus is insane ( like TV with PS3, internet ect… ). The trip is going well.
How about United? Do you have any trips or anything planned like that? Have you been filming for This Is United at all?
Every thing is going well with United. My new signature colorway frame coming out soon (same color but on a new frame). I don’t really know if I have been filming for United at all, I don’t feel like I’m done with Coxie…haha, But I also know James has a lot of things to do. There’s a lot of riders to film and I know most people are waiting for Corey and Nathan’s parts.
How about with Sunex and Primo? Any news there?
This is the beginning of my relationship with Primo, I met the crew for the catalogue shooting and filming for an edit in Barcelona and all the guys are awesome and friendly. It was a really good time and I think I will go to L.A soon to hang out with Tony, E-man and Boy. (and I don’t forget you Ralphy see you in october)
What’s new with MarieJade? I’ve been seeing a ton of fresh videos lately? Where can people pick up some of the MarieJade stuff?
The new MarieJade collection is available now, some shops play the game with us, the motivation is on the top, the crew is awesome…What else!
What else new in your life?
My life is so fast at this moment, I can’t tell you. So many things are happening.
Where are you right now?
In my bed in the bus in the highway.
Where are you off to next?
After that I’m going to Paris for a French TV show with 5 street riders, that will be awesome…and see my firlfriend, this is more awesome.
What are your travel plans looking like for this summer? Any trips you are excited for?
I want to go to L.A in June for sure, and nothing in July, ( no travel, no bmx) just a holiday with my girlfriend…and after that we will see.
Other than the United video, have you been filming for any new web videos or other video parts at all?
Yes, I also have a Vans part to do.
What does your average daily routine consist of these days?
When I’m not traveling, I work a little bit in my parents shop, work on MarieJade, ride my local skate park, hanging out with friends, and I watch a lot of series and movies ( like 4hours/day).
Tell us something people might not know about you.
I’m not Alex Kennedy ( a lot of people think we are the same person even if it is a compliment for me )
What does the rest of 2010 have in store for you?
We will see…
Any plans for tonight?
Yeah, sleep.
