I usually just wear black so my shoes and my socks are my rays of sunshine.

Skating is what got me into punk rock.

The extent of my personal BMX adventures were all [on] dirt tracks. But just the aesthetic of it that early-to-mid-'80s BMX is something that's just part of me.

I was thinking about hitting races and stuff, but it's just, I think it's more of the era of when I was a kid and it just brings back memories. I gotta just chill and live in the past.

I do what I love for a living, and I also get to build BMX bikes in my spare time.

I used to race at the YMCA in Crystal Lake, Illinois, they used to have a dirt track there, and there was also a track near Rockford, Illinois, that I would go to.

I told myself I would never stop skating. I would never stop riding bikes or riding motorcycles. I raced dirt when I was a kid motocross. So it definitely keeps me in tune with my youth. I'm almost 40 years old and I feel like I'm 17 years old, and I feel like that's really healthy.
