Describe the worst haircut you’ve ever had.
I think that some other people could,
or would like to answer this question
for me. I'm going to say that while I
may not want to have a hairstyle that
I've had in the past again (and there
are several) I dont think any of them
are the worst, they had their time, in
the moment they were what I liked
and that's all that matters.

If you had a signature frame, what would you call it?
Maybe the 1,1,2,3 or
The Prophet.

What’s your best move off of a diving board?
It seems evident that the stinging skin lander is likely the move I fancy, at
least I feel it.

What is the weirdest thing you
have ever seen Sam do?
I dont know, most things Sam does
aren't actually weird to me. As
many people know Sam eats raw
meat. The other day, we were
watching the 10 year FBM video
and there was a clip of Fisher swallowing a live goldfish and Sam
just thought that was SO GROSS,
and made some disgusted faces.

What is your spirit animal?
I know the wolf is the main one of several.

What is your secret talent?
Tapping into something beyond the
five senses. Saying I have a talent
makes me feel like I am implying
that I am differant than anyone else.
We are all capable of the same things, great things, if we allow ourselves to
see it that way.

What are your hobbies outside of
BMX? You are not allowed to say photography or skateboarding.
I wouldn't say I have any other
hobbies outside of BMX. I do have many other interests though, and
things I like to do. I don't feel they
could be compressed into the word hobby though. Bike riding has
that slot.

Have you ever eaten something out
of a trash can? What was it?
How did it taste?
Yeah, the magic dumpster, it serves
up Entemenns donuts and cakes,
whole grain bread, and english
muffins. they taste as good as
anything else loaded with sugar
and eternal life.

What is your most prized possession?
I don't have one, not a material
possession. My most prized thing I
would say is freedom, and that entails
many things.

What was the most trouble you ever
got into in school?
In kindergarten I colored about a three foot by three foot square of the carpet navy blue. That's about it really.

Do you personally know anyone
who has genitalia Tattooed on their body?
Yeah he's my roomate. Just look at
his arm and you'll see it.

What are you going to name your autobiography?
To write an autobiography would be pretty presumptuous that someone would even want to read you. If for some reason I was writing one, It
would be titled, "As Walls Fall Down" Or maybe one of potentially infinite other ideas that I had run through my head when trying to answer this question. I Feel like the title for such a book will come to you on its own,
upon writing the book. Let the Book create the name.

What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten?
Vegemite, I dont know about
that stuff.

What is your least favorite food?
Really chunky things

Have you ever been attacked by a
wild animal?
A swarm of underground Hornets
or bees one time were pretty irritated
when I was digging at our trails back
in Quincy, Illinois a long time ago. It
took me a while to realize that it
was stings not thorns that were
causing the pain. I dont know why
but the buzzing didn't focus in for a while. When it did I took off running.
