10. What's the best part about being a Motion Boardshop team rider? 

The people, I love my Motion Boardshop family and all of the faces I've come to know and collaborate with these last few years. Everyone's super cool, easy to talk to and gives off super positive vibes, so its an awesome company to represent and an easy one to work for. 

 
11. What's the best piece of advice you can give other longboarders looking to get sponsored? 

Don't blow up phones and emails, if you're really worth sponsoring make some rad videos, spread them around the scene, and hope a company catches wind of you. Also, go to events, kill it, represent and be a cool person. Sponsorships are not just about you getting free gear, you have to do your part too.
