1.Can you give us a breakdown of your average day? Is anything going to change for 2011?


7am wake up to two kids who need milk...juice...meat...and tons of giggles. Eat with Cooper and Coco and laugh at each other while making funny faces. Start checking sites that matter and doing some emails. Turn on Pandora and we all headbang to some Lil Wayne. Chase the cats around and play some pool or "lets play balls" on the pool table. Figure out my schedule and what really needs to get done first. Say good bye and run to Mr. B's to get some work done before we open. Clean up, sort bike and skate inventory, and get ready for the day. Then get on the Deco. tip. Phone calls, emails, faxes, and constantly working with my agent. Get lunch, sushi of course, then do some UPS and PO runs getting some packages out. Go home and ride bikes with my son around the neighborhood. Goto Vans or Orlando skatepark or a light street sesh. Come home and make dinner and head bang some more. Play trains, tickle the kids,  and throw balls in the house. Check some more sites and get ready for the next day. Watch some Apple TV and read in the Spoon position with the wife.

2.Why do you ride?


What do you mean? its soothing as a massage and fun as a rollercoaster. Acutally I don't know why or how to quit otherwise I would.

 

3.Where are you planning on going this year and why?

 

Colorado was mentioned and its been a few years since I have been there. I have been in touch with a lot of those dudes and its time to go there. I really want to go out to Austin, Chicago, some Wisconsin, and of course go back to Taiwan. That place is nuts.

 

4. What's up with your shop?

 

Its partially a storefront and the back is where Deco. comes to life. The shop is an extension of Mesh Skatepark RIP with emphasis on bmx. Its been great. James Covington is the manager and does a lot of the day to day. I am the idiot behind the wall who makes noise every once in awhile. But that is the well oiled machine Deco. is. The location is pretty sweet, next to the Pic n Save banks. So there is a session right outside of the front door if you want. Everything is really close to, the bank, food, and most everything we need to keep going. Thanks to all who have supported. 

5. What is good?

 

Everything is good. On the BMX side I can't believe how good Profile is getting. That one shocks me. They are extending colorways to riders, doing some amazing trips, getting the best photographers and video guys to film trips. The ads are insane, the products are the best, and the future is bright. On a general good thing, life is sweet. My whole family is healthy, kids are learning life and seeing them grow up is truely amazing sight. Everything is looking good this year for sure. I can't wait to see what goes down.
