DTV: Where are you from originally and what motivated you to start skating?
NATE: I'm from Boston, Massachusetts and have no idea how I started skating, haha. I think I got a board for christmas one year; it had plastic wheels on it and I remember doing ollies in my garage. I broke the wheel and looked at it like wtf just happened, lol. My dad took me to Play it Again Sports and I got a legit setup- it had ants on the graphic is all I remember.
DTV: What is your favorite city to skate?
NATE: Is that even a question!? LA COUNTY BABY! Straight skate utopia!..The east coast has epic spots too though.
DTV: When you're staring at that next big rail or gap what's going on in your head?
NATE: I cant wait to smash this trick and make this gap my bitch!
DTV: Do you think it's better to be in California if you want to make
it in skateboarding?
NATE: Umm, I dunno, i used to, but now i feel like there's so many good skaters out there that kids who are amazing just get lost in the crowd. It's sad, honestly, because I know kids who are ridiculously good and don't even have a sponsor.
DTV: Of all your video clips, what video/trick are you most stoked on?
NATE: My Standards Forsaken part for sure...triple set footy was some of my best, Pasadena High too...and that kick-flip over that 12 and the gate at the bottom, off Wilshire was pretty legit I think lol...
DTV: If you had to give one piece of advice about skating to kids
watching your videos, what would it be?
NATE: I would say to keep skating as long as possible, especially if you have a strong passion for it, its molded me to who i am today. Everything i do in my life, I do it like my skating; I try as hard as possible at everything, just like I have always done every single time I step on a skateboard. I don't half ass anything, lol except maybe cleaning my apartment...
