2) What happened over at Darkstar Skateboards? You were on then off pretty quick.

Yup. Dwindle got bought by Globe at the height of skating. then skating sort of mellowed out a bit and dwindle wasn't doing well, so Globe fired a whole bunch of dwindle employee's. Then after another few months they cut all the team budgets. so the bottom line was someone had to go and it ended up being me. when i look back at the team at the time i have to just laugh to myself that they chose me.
