Fury, Baker, TSA, PSC Skateshop, Vans, Furnace, and Ricta.
Who is your normal skate possie?
Andrew Reynolds, Jim Greco, Terry Kennedy, Knox Godoy, and Paul Rodriguez.
How long you been skating?
How did you get hooked up with Baker?
I was skating at Huntington skatepark one day and Andrew saw me skating. He asked me to ride for Birdhouse and then later they came out with a company, Baker, and I got on that with him.
It’s good, it is way better than Birdhouse. It is the best company.
What’s your favorite skatespot?
What is the deal between Chad Fernandez and Baker?
Jim Greco, Andrew Reynolds, Jeff Lenoce, Dustin Dollin, Mike Maldonado, Knox Godoy, Terry Kennedy, Brian Herman.
I’m not considered PD ‘cause I don’t drink, but I think if I wanted to I could be.
It was fun. It was my first time out to Florida and I met your dumb ass.
Shut up. Was Tampa your first contest?
How did it feel? were you nervous?
‘Cause I had a lot of friends there, and I was just skating with them. I was just having fun.
Have you ever stacked on a rail?
No. What’s going on with the Baker video?
Are people trippin’ out or something?
Did you like your part in the Baker video?
It was OK. Did you like your part in the Progression video?
Logic, fool. What do you do on an everyday basis?
Fridays we go to Andrews house—Terry, Knox, and I. Then Saturday morning we go out and skate, me and the whole crew and see what we can do all day. That’s it…and Sunday too.
Oh yeah, Terry loves to watch the carts’.
What’s your favorite kind of soda?
Who are your favorite skaters?
Jay Strickland and Beageloneism.
What do you like to skate?
Are you going to get a PD tattoo?
Are you going to get any tattoos?
No, I don’t want to put any tattoos on my body.
When you’re on tour with Baker, do you and Knox ever get into trouble together?
Do you guys ever start fighting each other?
Little arguments, but nothing big.
How does it feel now that you’re sponsored?
It makes skating a lot more fun, because I don’t have to worry about breaking boards or anything, so it makes it easier to skate.
Do you feel any extra pressure being sponsored?
Yeah, you get better as you skate more and there is less pressure. But sometimes you get caught slippin’.
Are there any people you would like to thank?
Andrew Reynolds, Jim Greco, Jay Strickland, Knox Ga-Digga-D, Terry Kennedy, and my dad, especially. All my sponsors, and the stupid Mexican kid Paul Rodriguez for doing this stupid interview.—Paul Rodriguez
