Q&A by Rory Ellis
How's your visit to Cali been going?
I:Fucking awesome so much bonehams all over the place.. Seriously great, chillin with homies, and riding amazing spots everywhere.

Last time you throat checked someone?
I:It's been a min, but were on our way to Vegas in about 15 mins so who knows..

How many savage bonesaw crashes have you taken on your trip so far?
I:Fuck who knows I'm always getting bonesloshed, riding with you we just get fucking bonesnaked all over the place ODin on all the spots everywhere.

How many of those were because of shark tooth fucking up the filming?
I:God damn snark dangle filming birds in the sky making me do over grinds all day.. My arms look like Brian Kachinsdog now.

How many bike racks were stolen on THE TRIP \m/?
I:One bike rack, thermal, beanie, and some tools.. Ima kill the next street sweeper we come across, really who steals bike racks? \m/

If you could have your current job, but continue to stay in Cali and ride the ridiculous spots that are here, would you?
I:I would be all in, we can't drive 5 mins without pulling over to check spots out. Plus it's nonstop comedy.. I'm tryin to get some photos while I'm here.. Be careful out there, don't film by yourself.

How much different is california than Canada?
I:Well for one the Winter is balls back home, its Winter here in California and its pretty much Summer. Food and beer is stupid cheap here..

How savage of a Canadian are you?
I:Canada represent, I'm a full blown maple syrup bandit.

Do you have a mullet?
I:Not currently but I def did when I was a kid.. Fuck it you only live once.

Do you play hockey?
I:I use to play rep hockey(editors note: US translation=travel hockey).. I'll fuck with a hockey stick.NH

In your hometown, by square footage, how many hockey rinks would you say there are in 4 square miles?
How many skateparks?
I:Well I grew up in a pretty small town but the skate park and hockey rink were right beside each other.

Did you graduate from Canada U with a bachelors in Zamboni sciences and a minor in mullet trimming?
I: Fuck well what else would I have graduated with right? Pretty much all we do there but were pretty wasted while getting sweet on the Zambondogs.NH

Any Thanks or suggestions about how you should get heinous with hp basketballs?
I:Thanks to my family, S&M bikes, 1664 BMX, all the homies you know whats up. If you're fuckin with hanedaddy HP basketballs you should always carry a sweaty HP covered baseball for back up.

Such a good intro and even better part to start off a vid. The homie Rory definitely put it down right here. But seeing it on the interweb def doesn't do the justice. Go cop the OSS vid at your local shop.
