Story involving Morph: Back in the day we were skating this park and me and Morph decide to go to the shop, so Morph takes the drink orders from all the other lads and we get on our way. We’re bombing this hill and a bunch of kids faces in front of me just turn white. I turn round and Morphs just taken a bad spill and breaks his arm. I run up to him and the first thing he said to me is “Andy wanted a big bottle of evian, Wayne wanted cherry coke” – fuck that mate you need an ambulance!
Comedy Morph quote: “ I know I don’t eat healthy but all I drink is water so its ok right?”

Board, ever: I remember I had this Arto Saari Flip board. Blue graphic with a red underlayer. I was stoked.
Disturbing experience: Getting my bag stolen at Macba. Had my i-pod, phone and passport in that bag and it was like 2 hours till our flight. And the guy who stole it ran up a £800 phone bill.
Tip to the reader: If you go Macba, keep an eye on your belongings.
