The next two happened when I walked into the tattoo shop I go to out here and my buddy was bored so he came up with the idea of putting his face on my leg.He got so siked about it so he tattooed him and this other dude that tattoos me sometimes. The last face is that of Frank Sinatra. Just ask yourself why the fuck not? Great Italian American. I got plans for a few more. I’m thinking about a Mike Tyson portrait next. 
5-What are your future plans? I try to live day by day. I get overwhelmed real easy when I think about shit too far down the road. I’ve definitely been looking deeper into what I want to do career wise and I got something in the works. I’m not going to put nothing out there just yet though.
6-How do you feel about the riding scene in Staten Island?
The riding scene in Staten is crazy. You got all these little kids pumped on riding at the Skatepark and not jock sports. When I look back to when I started riding there were about 15 of us. Now you go to the Ben Soto Skatepark and you got 35 little fucks ripping it, 20 posers, and a handful of little hags chasing little Mike around the park haha. The scene is definitely sick and I hope it keeps growing for everyones $ake. lol
7-Do you like contests? I used to be pumped on contests, like a few years back. That scene is so crazy and kids are so young and killing it. I respect it but I don’t think it's for me anymore but ya never know. I just love riding so as long as I’m on my bike I'll do anything and go anywhere.
8-What do you do for a job? Right now I’m making enough to pay to live by doing stunt shows with this company Hellonwheels. It's real fun. I get to travel around the country and the pay is decent. I look at it as something I'll be able to look back on when I’m older, have a memory riding a NFL halftime show that's on national tv. It's all about experiences in life.
9-How is it living with Garrett Reynolds? He's a fucking shitbag haha. He's real good to ride with. He's got a fucked up sense of humor too. He's just a chill dude that doesn't give a fuck, so he's real easy to live with. Minus him being a lazy fuck and always leaving me a mess to clean up when I wake up after his 4 am wawa runs. I mean hey at least I know he's good for rent and a couple pairs of kicks haha.
10-How nice is it having a bowl in your Garage?
The bowl is fucking awesome. I don't got
to deal with going to the skatepark and dealing with shithead kids. I can wake up put on shorts and some shoes and ride. I can ride for ten minutes put my bike down take a shit, feed my dog, check on my ducks, then pick my bike back up walk through my kitchen and then just cruise. It's a little slice of heaven. 11-When is Deadline video going to be done?
Probably the only question I can't answer. I’m not sure deadline really has ever set a deadline. People just keep firing out crazy shit. It's like when do you say enough is enough? I guess we are going to go on a few more trips, see where everyone is at, and hopefully have it out sometime this year. Sorry I'm not too much help.
12-How do you feel about Grimaldo Duran?
This man is an og. I remember seeing this dude at South Beach ripping, owl’s head ripping, and in the city ripping. It was cool being the younger dude and having legends to look up to. He’s definably one of them.
