Way to start the day: Scrambled egg on toast and maybe a Rockstar, depends!
Skatespot: Lloyds – f*cking love it!

Song to listen to when skating: Depends, been listening to loads of Elton – ‘Tiny Dancer’ is a lush song to skate to.

Board, ever: Snadz board on Motive – f*cking sick as!
Memory from growing up in Swansea: Skatepark hoes, snooker with Dai C, working with Joe and macking it with Tristan
Memory from last years Emerica tour: Rhys Grogan sleeping with his trousers down on the toilet with sick all over his hair. I got the sickest photo on my phone.
Thing about Rockstar: Everything – the look, the color, the taste, the texture, THE FEELING.
Family Guy quote: “Lois, I find this meatloaf rather shallow and pedantic.”
Disturbing experience: Coming back from town on the bus in Swansea, having some 50 year old gnarly biker dude with full on tattoos on his neck and head job staring at me non stop until he was getting off, then he chucked a bit of paper on my lap when he got off and it had his name and number on it. F*cking rank. I kept seeing him on every bus I was on, basically it was proper gay stalker shit.
