How are you?
Wonderful and yourself ?
I’m doing pretty good. How are things going with Verde? Have you been working on any signature product stuff at all?
Things are going great with Verde in my eyes. I couldn’t be happier, and yeah, we have a couple things in the works probably for 2011-2012.
How has filming for the Verde video been going for you? Do you have any trips coming up for that planned yet?
The filming has been going good, nothing set in stone for trips yet, but there has been talk and ideas floating constantly haha.
What’s up with iPath these days? I feel like it has been a minute since I’ve heard anything about them?
They are following thier own path, I think haha. They want to just keep it simple for a while beacause the product speaks for itself I think.
You got picked up by G-Sport a few months back now. Has there been anything going on with them? Any trips, videos, or anything like that in the works?
Nothing that I know of right now, but in the near future I expect good things.
What else is new in your life?
Everyday.

I gotta say I thought you killed the rail jam at Interbike last month. How did you feel about the jam as a whole? Were you surprised at all by the final results?
The rail jam is really cool. It’s just riding to show what BMXers do on their bikes, and no, Garrett is amazingly consistant.
Where are you right now?
Shivwits Indian Territory camping.
Where are you off to next?
I am on a road trip with some friends right now, and we are to head over to Cali and go up Highway 1 to Portland. Fun fun.
You have been traveling quite a bit this past year. What are your plans for the winter? Anywhere you would like to get to?
I had some plans of what I wanted to do but something came up that requires my attention in Salt Lake, so I will be in the snow this year.
What does your average daily routine consist of these days?
Everyday is different, somedays I wake up at 8 to go to work, or help some one with something, somedays I sleep in until 12. As far as a routine, coffee in the morning, breakfast for lunch, then chillin or riding until lunch for dinner, and then chillin’ until I get tired.
Tell us something people might not know about you.
That I skated for 8 years before I rode bmx.

What does the rest of 2010 have in store for you?
I don’t know. New things and different perspectives on life.
Last song you heard, movie you watched and website you visited?
Mama’s don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys – I don’t know who sings it. National Geographic throwback about the Siberian tiger. Google.
Any plans for tonight? Yes, watching Ongbak and eating pizza.
