So, how'd you like australia ? Next! Alrighty then, so there was alot of controversy over how much money you came to the country with for the amount of time that you stayed. How much did you come with, how long did you stay, what were the main things you spent your money on and then how much did you leave with?

Holy fuck soo many questions! Uhh I came with like a little less then $1600 or something like that for 3 months. I spent my money on soo much shit, but the most damaging expense was probably paying for Adam Davies' fuckin' hooker addiction. I left with like $2 and it was just enough to buy a pack of gum in the airport

So what about airfares? You seemed to do a fair amount of trips within your big trip, howd you pull that off?

Driving to adelaide sucked, ohh driving there sucked! I woke up feeling like shit and then went into a truck stop and baught a glow in the dark tingler ring that was tight. Yeea Adelaide's sick so many good people, Lennys the man he let us crash at his house ahahah uhh I had to call the Mom for some money after I baught my plane ticket to perth, but then some bitch baught me one to camberra, then my friend Tom's dad baught me a ticket to sydney. It all worked out sooo goood!

Oh yeah, who gives you free shit back home? Howd you go not getting it when you where here?

Vans and Insight back home. (Flatspot skateshop, waddup!). I didnt really ask or anything.

So this is the second time you've been to Oz, tell us a little about your first trip...

Ohh, man the first trip was rad, there was like 8 of my friends who came as well from Canada to excape the shitty Canadian winter. We would skate all the time, well most of us, ok mabye just a couple of us would skate all the time and the rest would just get wasted, hahaha.

What made you want to come back? How'd you get the money to do it?

I wanted to come back to see all the friends that i made the first time and get away from the canadian winter, just fuckin skate! I was working at Zellers (kinda like a Big W) stocking shelfs from like 10pm - 6:30am It was the worst! Then they fired me after like 2 months, So I just baught a plane ticket to Australia.

Where were you staying while you where out here?

I was staying on Sydney Rd at my friend Kuni's house. Kuni's such a nice guy, I have no idea how he and his house mates put up with my shit for that long. ahahaha.

So tell us a story of one wild night out you had while in Oz?

One wild night in Austrailia? I think every night in Australia is a wild night haha, but I'd say ask Madam Scavies she will remember better then anyone haha.

You were skating loads and shooting and filming tons when you were here, how many boards did you go through?
