**Skated with Bam yesterday [56YO] x [45YO]**

> He’s working on a Thrasher interview and asked me to do doubles (again) for it. This is the first crooked grind I’ve done in years. But I currently have no other info to share pertinent to this subreddit.

Replying to a redditor:

> What is the proudest moment of your career?

> either landing the first 900 (at X Games) or being on the Simpsons. Tomorrow my proudest moment might be surviving an IAma

Replying to a redditor:

> What is your favorite Tony Hawk video game, and why is it Tony Hawk Pro Skater for N64?

> haha, my favorite is THPS2 because it put skateboarding on the map as a videogame genre and many people have said it is the reason they started skating at all.
