What’s the point of making a video part?
I’ve heard Andrew say this a lot of times, "Video parts are like an album to a musician. It shows a lot about you and what was going on during that time." Someday when you can’t skate anymore you wanna be able to look back and be happy with your discography.
No matter when you look back, this apartment-rail 5-0 will always be buck
Biggest distraction from filming?
Surfing.
Favorite clip in the new video?
Zach’s pressure flip in the dark.
Puttin' the pressure on a famous Denver stack
How long did you film?
A little over a year, on and off, with minor injuries.
How do you get trick ideas?
Mostly just driving around and letting the spots you find decide what the trick should be. Rarely do I ever have a certain maneuver that I need to find the right spot for. Normally the spot comes first then the trick to try secondary.

Any reason the whole part was in LA?
COVID.
Dream guest clip in your part?
Logan.

Best warm up to go get tricks?

I hope so!

What’s the point of making a video part?
Show your skating to the world, or at least people who like watching skate videos. Good goal to have as a pro skater.
Biggest distraction from filming?
Remodeling houses, furniture, gardening.

How long did you film?
This took a year. AVE’s part got me fired up and I asked Rowan and Zach if they wanted to make a short Baker video.
How do you get trick ideas?
Watching skate videos, new and old, skating in the park at Baker Boys and seeing what ideas come to me.

Any filming trips?
Mostly LA. Went on two trips to NY and SF.
Dream guest clip in your part?
Herm.
Taking a flight in NYC, frontside flip
Filming crew?
I usually keep it pretty tight, small crew––Jay Thorpe, Shane, Spanky. Try to hurry up and get the trick so we can go eat.
Best warm up to go get tricks?
Quick 20 minutes on the exercise bike and stretch.
Are you going to make more parts?
I’ll make parts until I can’t anymore! I got a few more in me!

What’s the point of making a video part?
The point is to leave your mark in skating and show what you can do.
Biggest distraction from filming?
Probably going out at night.

Favorite clip in the new video?
Rowan’s boardslide switch 50-50.
Rowan comes correct with the precision boardslide to switch 50-50
How long did you film?
Like a year and a half or something, but a lot of the older stuff got cut out.
How do you get trick ideas?
Sometimes I’ll figure it out at a spot. I don’t really think about it that much.
Does Andrew pressure you to get footage?
He doesn’t pressure me, but he definitely motivates me.

Is there a time when too many goons are on the session?
Yeah, there can be. But for the most part it gets me stoked.
Dream guest clip in your part?
GONZ!
Filming crew?
Too many to count. It’s always a mix of a bunch of different goons.
Crooked grind tailgrab for the goons
Best warm up to go get tricks?
Skating transition.
Are you going to make more parts?
Yeah, ’til I can’t walk, I will try to make parts.
