Bearings:  scrap I am a huge fan of sole tech and vans.  I enjoy skating most pairs of és, emerica, and etnies shoes and the vans chukkas are super good too.  I like really basic shoes that are comfortable and have good board-feel. I usually skate about 4-5 days every week.  If I'm too busy to skate during the weekdays I will try to get in a night session or two. The San Francisco DMV is a good warm up spot weekdays after 5 and the San Francisco Civic Center Library is a super fun afternoon/night spot too. Johnny Voskuyl, my roommate: Peter Danzig, Mike Thompson is usually behind the lens, Cole Hickok, Will Neverman, and more homies that Iive in the city Im pretty busy with school right now. Im going to finish my environmental studies degree next fall and then I'll hopefully have more time to skate!  Mike Thompson who filmed and edited Mortigi Tempo (2007)  has been filming for a new video since mortigi dropped that I'll have a part in.   Lately I have been really psyched on gardening and cooking.  Sometimes I help out with a community garden at my school but I am also growing some herbs, veggies, fruits, and carnivorous plants on my roof.
