1. Getting to go back to Austin with the homies. Haven’t been there in ten years.

2. Austin, TX, all over PA, NJ, NYC, MD. Pretty chill year, travel wise.

3. Man there’s a bunch of good ones. Can’t even remember a lot of them. Fiending, Holy Fit, Above Below was awesome and I just saw 90 East Public Property and that was awesome. They never disappoint.

4. Knee problems, not really getting to ride as much as possible. Not much to complain about.

5. I always look forward to traveling every year. Learning new things and expanding the things I already know.

1. Riding and filming with my friends is always a highlight. Especially now, every years it gets hard to find time to do things I want to do. I did manage to make it out to New York for the street series. Which was crazy, to say the least. Also the Hero’s of dirt world premiere and contest. That whole day was just awesome.

2. I didn’t travel to much this year. New York, Philly, Wilkes-Barre, but can’t stay for as long as I’d like.

3. There where so many crazy edits and videos I watched it’s hard to remember. But of course Friending, Chocolate Truck, everything ECD, The Yea, and ton other awesome edits I’ve seen but can’t think of right now.

4. Since the end of 2013 my life as a whole has been pretty shitty. I’m doing good now. Still getting my shit together and pulling myself out of the slump I was in, but things are looking better.

5. I’m just hoping to stay healthy, ride, film, travel and see my friends, especially ones I don’t get to see often. Hopefully some project will be in the works. All and all I just hope to keep getting better with everything. Not just riding, and live life!!

1. Moving to Philly. Living here got me siked on riding again.

2. Yea just got back from a trip to Austin. Wild times.

3. I don’t really keep to up to date with videos but if I do it’s gonna be East Coast shit.

4. No point in talking about low points… Gotta say fuck it and move on.

5. Bikes, Booze and bitches haha and hopefully droppin’ sum of that new Atown Trash mixtape.

1. My Ride PA BMX bike check and just being able to ride.

2. Had a gnarly Wilkes-Barre trip with the Atown Trash crew and a few Paines Park trips.

3. Bone Deth video for sure. Leather jackets and roof gaps.

4. Working more than I was riding. Getting older sucks when all the little thrashed are out pedaling.

5. Filming more and hopefully a spot on a team. And warm PA street weather.

1. I’d say not getting broke off, one of the first years in awhile I’ve stayed relatively healthy.

2. Nothing out of state this year, unless you count New Jersey, been working a lot. Took a couple of day trips to to some parks I’d never been to. Grindlab was dope, Jump Street over in Jersey. Mostly just traveled around PA tho.

3. As far as DVD’s go Holy Fit was my favorite for sure, as for edits Fiending was insane.

4. Not being able to take advantage of the nice weather and ride due to work. Not achieving my goal of getting Barspins back. All in all it was I pretty good year so I can’t really complain.

5. Riding new spots, hanging out with homies I haven’t seen in a while, and hopefully getting the first run of parts I designed made if I can get an open machine and some free time at work!
