Can't Really Say. All the trips have been amazing in their own certain ways.

Last good book you read?
J. Edgar Hoover: The Man and the Secrets. The decidedly unfriendly look, the author takes on the former homosexual FBI director, who saw himself as a hunter of men, served under 10 presidents and tried to destroy Martin Luther King. A lot of interesting facts.

Deluxe wanted to hook me up with Real Skateboards, but I asked them if I could ride for Anti Hero instead because I didn't really know anyone on the Real team at this point.
What was it like growing up in Austria?
It was not always easy due to my skin color, but I am really glad my parents took me out of Nigeria and gave me the opportunity to grow up in a safer and secure environment.
Who is the most famous person to come from Austria?
Governator, Jörg Haider, Mozart…pick your favourite.
Are the showers in Austria safe?
Depends on what shoes you are wearing!

No, Red Bull and Jägermeister is the new stuff. It's called Flying Hirsch

Don't piss against the wind!
