I live in West Hills, California. I skateboard a lot, mostly everyday. I'm a very quiet person and keep to myself most of the time, sometimes if I meet people and get to know them, then I can open up more.Music is amazing to me along with any kind of art, people can create the most amazing things. It's awesome. I like drawing and writing sometimes. I'm a vegetarian, I like animals. I believe that everyone should be treated with respect no matter what.I don't hate anyone, just because I don't talk to you doesn't mean I hate you, I'm just a quiet person. Some people think I hate them just because I don't talk to them, it's really hard for me to talk to people, especially those that I don't know.JIM BATES - VIDEO APPEARANCES TRANSWORLD video # 7 - “TRANSMISSION 7" BIG BROTHER video #3 - “BOOB” LOGIC Video Magazine #2 LOGIC Video Magazine #3 (full part) LOGIC Video Magazine #6 411 VIDEO MAGAZINE #36 (STATUS commercial) 411 VIDEO MAGAZINE #37 (STATUS commercial) SIXTEEN SKATEBOARDS video - “I HATE CHILDREN” friends section DNA video - “MICRO ANAYLYSIS” (small part) PROGRESSION VIDEO MAGAZINE # 4 (opener + 2 tricks) PROGRESSION VIDEO MAGAZINE #5 (2 tricks) PROGRESSION VIDEO MAGAZINE #6 (1 trick + 1 Line) “AMATUER” video (1 trick ) 303 BOARDSHOP video - “AGAINST ALL ODDS” (part) AMSHO VIDEO # 1 (full part) STATUS SKATEBOARDS video - “SKATEBOARDING ALLOWED” (full part)2001 “TEARS” video - (full part) “TAMPA AM EXPERIENCE 2002" video (2 tricks) 411 VIDEO MAGAZINE # 58 and #59, On Video - (AXIS commercial) “American Misfits” enhanced DVD (bonus footage part) “Video Composition” Status skateboards video “Synopsis” by Daryl Grogan “The BLVD.” by Danny Minnick “Going Against The Grain” Armada skateboards promo videoMAGAZINE APPEARANCES Big Brother - December 1998 - 2page am interview Transworld - September 1998 - Invisible skateboards ad Transworld - November 1998 - Status skateboards ad Transworld - November 1999 - Status ad Transworld - May 2000 - Status ad Transworld - September 2000 - FKD bearings ad Transworld - December 2000 - Status ad Transworld - February 2001 - 5 Tour article photos, 2 sequences Transworld - April 2001 - Cool Identity.
