What have you been up to since last filming for “The
Beginning?”
skating, traveling and plenty of demos.
What was it like filming for “The Beginning” versus the earlier Birdhouse
videos, like “Feasters” and “Ravers”?
We had much more time, so there was less pressure. Although I waited to shoot
most of my stuff near the end. There were a few tricks I did for the video that
I've been wanting to do for years.
Favorite memory from the recent Birdhouse Tour?
Cincinnati (Florence, KY). The crowd was amazing and there is no way anyone
else could have fit inside that park to watch. The skating was good too... our
crew killed it.
What is the hardest thing about being on tour?
Missing my family. The flying/driving no longer bothers me since I've been
doing it for so long.

As I get older I tend to look back more often at many of the good times I had growing up. Perhaps it’s because time makes us more sentimental, and perhaps it’s simply because the longer we live the more we have to reminisce about. At any rate I’ve found myself thinking about the fun I had growing up, shooting air soft guns with my neighborhood buddies. Many of us owned some type of bb gun or air rifle though there were the obstinate parents who never let their kids own such things however we found that it was always those kids who were most eager to shoot some targets out back.
