What’s the most fun DIY, skater-built or renegade spot that you’ve skated lately?
Cleveland has this epic spot called Fun Wall. It’s amazing! All the heavy skaters in the area built it and the foundation is huge!
Have you ever built something to skate?
I used to have a few mini ramps in my backyard in upstate New York with a fly out to a vert wall. Those were the good ole days.
Who do you like to skate with the most these days?
Mickey O’Keefe, Sam Baker, Haden McKenna, Sean Imes, but most of the time I like my own solo adventures. Acid Drop.
Coolest skateboard graphic you have seen lately?
I’m just focused on pushing my wood. Graphics aren’t too important to me anymore, but I do have to say I’m so into whatever Blood Wizard is doing. Shout out to those guys!
Best thing you’ve ever skated in a skatepark and what skatepark was it?
The Venice Beach snake run never seems to fail me.

The Gonz! Rodney Mullen, Daewon Song, John Cardiel and Tony Trujillo.

Pump track on steroids!

Hawaii with the Arbor crew for sure!

Not really, my bad.

Filming always and staying positive with the fans!
Which skate shops do you support and go to the most?
Arbor Venice all day.

What skateboarding memorabilia do you have that means the most to you?
Flip Sorry always.

Jesse Martinez 100 percent.

It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll always be pushing.

It’s going to sound weird, but I had a deep conversation with Rodney Mullen not long ago and that was a dream come true.
ABOUT THE JUICE MAGAZINE STATE OF SKATE:
When we started Juice Magazine 22 years ago, you could count the number of skateparks on one hand and grindable pool coping was mostly a distant memory. Now there are thousands of skateparks all over the world, along with a vast quantity of DIY spots built to skate. In 1993, the majority of skateboarders listened to punk rock or hip hop exclusively. Now skateboarders listen to almost every kind of sound created. Two decades ago, skateboarding related charities were non-existent. Today, there are numerous non-profits giving back to skateboarding in many ways. One of the most important differences between now and then is that, 22 years ago, there was a clear division between old school and new school skateboarding. Now that wall of separation has followed the same path as the Berlin Wall, allowing for an unprecedented unification of skateboarders all over the globe. Great strides have been made for girls that skate as well as the acceptance of skate history and long overdue recognition for skateboarding’s pioneers and its artifacts. At the same time, the current generation of skateboarders is taking skateboarding to new heights, previously unimaginable. As the landscape of the skateboarding industry changes on a daily basis, and the topic of skateboarding in the Olympics rears its head once again, along with the disturbing subject of who controls skateboarding being tossed about by corporate entities, we decided it was time to take a good look at the State of Skate. We asked 20 questions to 100 skateboarders, ages 8 to 58, and found that skateboarding is as diverse as the skateboarders that are addicted to it, no one controls skateboarding except skateboarders, and the State of Skate is savage and strong. Now get out there and skate tough!
