Do you prefer street or park and why?
I love to skate street, you can skate literally anywhere, it's good to practice tricks in skate parks then take them out on to the street to try them, I also love skating park and will always skate a bowl if there is one around
Where is your favourite place to skate?
My favourite place to skate is at House Skate Park in Sheffield, I have achieved so much practicing there and have lots of friends I can hang out with, it's where I learnt to skate
What is your favourite/best trick?
My favourite tricks are board slides, I have recently just managed to do a front board slide on the A frame at the House and am currently working on feebles, I love airing over the box at the House Skatepark, it feels like I'm flying. I also once got clip of the week for SkateboardGB, which was when I kick flipped over the drive way

After a long skate with my friends, we usually end up in McDonalds for fries washed down with a chocolate milkshake, it's the tradition on our skate park trips

Grandad skateboards in Leeds, they hand make my skateboards, are perfect for me to skate and have some sick designs collaborating with local artists
