Congratulations on winning the Maloof Money Cup Am Street. Did you have any expectations before Maloof?
I had no expectations. I just went there to represent Revolution, to chill and skate, and I guess I just had a good day that day. It was cool.

What are you going to do with the money?
I came back from Maloof early in the morning, went straight to Cape Tech and paid off my student loan. Everyone says “You’re so responsible” (laughs). It would have taken me like 5 years to pay it off, and I paid the whole thing off in one shot.

What was your overall impression of the Maloof Money Cup?
I was blown away. I mean, just being amongst all those dudes was enough for me. Like it could have been some shitty competition and I would have still enjoyed it. But honestly, I had the best time. It was like being at an American X Games or something. It was really proper, and fucking cool.

What were some of the highlights of your weekend at Maloof, besides winning the Am Street?
Seeing Geoff Rowley skate, and skating that awesome park. The marble was amazing. I’ve never skated marble like that so it was really awesome. Perfect run-ups, perfect landings. It was pretty perfect.

What are your plans for the rest of the year?
For the rest of the year I’m basically just skating and having fun. I’m trying to get a job too. But I just want to keep on skating and pushing myself a bit further.
