How was filming for that video, seemed you guys were all over the place? Corey: It was fun for sure. I wish I could have had more time to get better stuff but oh well. I think it turned out good for the amount of time we had to film for it. Everyone on there is amazingly talented.
What do you think of the fact that "real street" has become a popular discipline at the X-Games events? Corey: I like it. I was involved with a few of the park ones in the past and to actually ride a street setup at an X-Games is just awesome. Park is awesome but it's pretty much out of hand these days.
The one coming up in Dubai has an insane prize purse, are you treating that comp any different?
Corey: Haha not really. I'm just going and hoping for the best! Just going and participating in it will be like winning.
It doesn't look like "real street" riders are out there training to learn new tricks as much as vert and park riders do. Have you noticed a chance of riders' attitudes now that there are big bucks on the line at the contests? 
Corey: I don't think so. I ride with most of the people that are at the street event pretty regularly and they ride the same at a contest or just out filming. I think most of the riders care a little more about filming then a contest. It's awesome though that street riders can get a chance to cash in every once in a while. 
How long will it take before we will see a handrail with a foampit around it at Woodward Camp? Corey: I hope never haha. That would just be really weird.
What's the beauty of riding street to you?
Corey: You can ride it anywhere. It allows you to be creative.
