What made you start skating ?
When kids on the estate started.....pretty much after we all saw Back to the Future, then I fully got into skating one day...
I was going to football practice and these two brothers, who lived on the estate, wanted to kick my arse.
They see me, and started chasing me... i peaced them out by out skating them... I thought this is dope, fuck football !

Where was your first bit of coverage ?
Winchester Comp fuck knows the year, picture in RAD though well hyped.
