How are things going with Sunday these days? Anything you have going on with them like web edits, trips, or anything like that?
Things are going really good with Sunday. I just put together the Third Wave frame with the Triumph bars and it’s for sure the best feeling bike I’ve ever had. All of the new stuff they’re coming out with looks really good and I like the way the company looks overall. Jim is the man! Recently I’ve just been trying to give them material to post on the website whether it’s a web edit or new photos.

What’s going on with Team Dilly? Have you been filming for another DVD at all?
We’ve been filming a lot for the new video “Team Dilly is the Man” and it should be a banger!

How are you?
I’m great! Just got back from a trip to Milwaukee with Tallboy and Kyle. A good amount of riding and partying happened.

What’s new in your life?
Not too much, summer vacation is starting in 2 weeks so I’ll be riding, umpiring, swimming, and enjoying life for the next 3 months.

You’re graduating from high school here soon, right? What’s your plan for next year?
I’m actually a junior this year haha. Next year I’ll be doing PSEO full time at the University of Minnesota which is where you go to college for free during high school and get college and high school credits. I’m probably going to be living in the dorms if everything works out.

Not a whole lot of people know this, but you’re pretty into bowling. When did you get into that and what kind of numbers have you been putting up lately?
I’m on the high school bowling team during the fall and I’m in a league currently. I’ve been bowling since sophomore year on the team and I’m averaging 186 in my league right now. I bowled a 254 about a week ago which is my high game. Pretty pumped on that!

Where are you right now?
Anti-Bummer Summer

Where are you off to next?
Super Chill Winter

I know you spent some time down in Austin, Texas recently and then Milwaukee this past weekend. Do you have any other trips planned for the summer you are looking forward to? Anywhere you would want to go that you haven’t been yet?
Kyle and I have been talking about taking a trip up north to Winnepeg this summer. Besides that we’ll probably take a decent amount of weekend trips all around the midwest. It’s always nice to go somewhere new.

What does your average daily routine consist of these days?
Wake up around 7 am for school, get out at 12:15 and then occupy the rest of the day with disc golfing, swimming, bowling, and riding my bike. I umpire once or twice a week making $55 a game, which is the jam’s bananas. On the weekends I do all of the same stuff except wake up later, party harder, and ride my bike more.

Now that Minnesota has hit hot and humid, where can you be found riding these days?
Anywhere in the Twin Cities!

Tell us something people might not know about you.
People often seem to underestimate how bad I’m breaking em off, it’s pretty bad.

What does the rest of 2010 have in store for you?
Strictly good things.

Any plans for tonight?
I’ll probably be partying really hard all up on my homework then going to bed.
