1.When did you first start skating and why did it interest you?

I was 11 when i first heard of rollerblading...I was totally interested,just the idea of wheels under my feet sounded great ........My friend got a pair first and i tried on one of them with a shoe on my other foot and we went out for a skate.....Then like the next day I went with my mom to toys r us and she got me a pair of variflex skates with some skinny ass neon green wheels on em´.....and for the next year i rolled around everywhere with my friend......It was way better than walking.Then i ran into an old friend of mine from elemetery school and he was with some other kids that were gapping stairs and doing stair rides.....and thats when it all began.

2. From all of the places you have been...what were those places? and where have you liked it the best?


I get to travel alot and thats my favorite part of my job aside from skating itself........My favorite places are south africa and amsterdam.....stockholm sweden has the hottest girls in the world and the best weed i´ve ever smoked was in zurich

3. going back to the older Senate days...do you miss them? what was it like growing up in the Skating World?

I would just breathe and sleep rollerblading and senate was the company i had to ride for....so when i met arlo and he was hyped on me, it was like the biggest boost for me ever

4. If there was ever a time you regret in skating,....what was it?

I try not look at things as regrets because i think everthing happens for a reason....but I do regret doing the ride like aaron movie.....I should of saw right through mo and jerry and knew that they were just trying to make an extra buck off of me......They lied to me by saying rawlinson and randy were doing a movie as well......I look at it as a learning experience.....I was young

5. You are Aaron Feinberg...who do you turn to for Motivation? are there any other skaters that get you juiced?


yah ive got like a whole list in my head.......heres a few names........arlo was my first favorite skater and than t.j. webber replaced him shortly after..........nowadays i look up to jon julio, eric schrijn, dominic sagona, louie zamora, dustin latimer, brian shima........and the list goes on but I´ll stop there .....I also wanted to say that i get as much motivation from skating that i dislike because it gives me a confidence boost and makes me think "i can do that 10 times better"

6. Recently, you have went through alot of changes as far as Sponsors...Leaving Senate for Mindgame, Leaving Salomon for USD, these were major steps in your career...what brought this on?

Well i hope the changes speak for themselves but the main reason is because salomon is too corporate and when arlo told me he was leaving senate i was like alright than i wanna find a new wheel sponsor and getting on mindgame was like a dream come true.....as well as usd of course. I´d like to thank Joe Navran for helping me with how to present myself to these companies and convincing me that im not washed up.

7. Who do you normally skate with and what are some of the spots you visit regularly?

Well i just moved in with Anton Kennedy and Travis Steenslid so i skate with them the most......and Shayne Skower, Josh Petty, Kevin Gillan, Rachard Johnson, Dustin Latimer....and once again the list goes on but basically theres mad people skating every day in california so i just go with the flow.I try to always skate new spots but UCI is right by my new apartment so thats like my new local skatepark.

8. You are often looked upon as a controversial person...do you feel misunderstood?


Absolutely,.....Half the time i dont understand myself but i think contradiction helps me see things clearer

9. Can you tell all of the kids what FP is and what FP is all about...and Who is FP?


fp is basically the best skate crew that cant be fucked with.....so anyone that wants to start a skate crew....just know that fp will destroy you........fp is just a group of friends .....it stands for future prospects and the idea is that we stick together...........If your on fp than you know who you are.......no need to mention names....

10. You are currently in Germany working on your new Pro skate - can you tell us a little about that or is it secret?

Its gonna be the classic throne because thats my favorite skate......Theres gonna be some modifications and they dont all appear to the eye but you´ll see.

11. What is it like hanging out in the USD Headquarters? Can you tell Poeple what it is like to be in the USD Lions Den?


You can find any thing from rise above spliff hats and aj jackson wrist guards to the latest products from our industry because Powerslide distributes just about everything from the u.s. to europe. Any thing you can think of designing can be done here with the help of some hardening clay and and a couple really good designers at your side.

12. What other things have you been doing on your stay in Germany...? Has it been fun...?

For the most part I´ve been kicking it at Korte´s crib and here at usd....Ive also been doing some skating and drinking good german beer by the liter of course...........overall its been a good time.....but i wont really know until i find out what happens with this bitch tonight but thats another story.

13. What are you going to be doing in the next few months? What are your plans for the future?

well I pretty much just take it one trip at a time and my next trip is atlanta i.m.y.t.a......In my scarce free time I´ll be lookin for new girls to meet and of course alot of skating.........I´m gonna be getting footage for the next mindgame video and when i dont feel like skating I´ll be preparing for my N.B.A. career.

14. When you are skating...do you have to think about the tricks you are going to do...or do you just bust it out like it aint no thing?


90 percent mental.......so a whole lot of thinking and spot finding..........but for the most part skating is about being in the zone

15. You are the Team Manager for Kizer...what is your vision for the Kizer team?


Between shayne,iian, and myself.....we have a hard pro team and the am´s........well lets just say the shouldnt be called
am´s......the european team is also on the next level.....just take a look at fridolin and neou if you wanna know what a stunt is. Basically the riders are there and the the frames have come a long way....After alot of testing, we now have 3 solid frames to choose from.......So for now...my vision for kizer is to keep the team happy and build the brand and its image.

16. What do you think of the other Kizer Riders? Do you think this is a team to be reckoned with?


I reckon question 15 should give you the just of how i feel about the team


17. What is it like to be a part of the Stretch Crew? How were you accepted by them?

I dont think anyone was negative about my additionn to the team and that says alot coming from the best team in rollerblading

18. What other interests do you have other than skating and where do you see yourself in say 10 years?

I cant see myself in 10 years but i hope to be alive and healthy .....I´d like to go to college and meet a hot girl that i will fall in love with and have a family......I want to be independent and work for myself like my father....but anyways that stuff isnt really on my mind yet.

19. Do you think there is another level to be found in skating? what are your predictions, and who do you see blowing up in the future?

Do i look like a fucking mind reader to you?.......well I do ride for midgame.....check out emagdnim.com for the future of rolling


20. Got any shout outs? or better said...utilize this last part of the interview to get your point across...in all your time of being a pro (since you were 15) you have been constantly hated and loved at the same time...many have hated on you...do you want to say anything to these fools? - by the way...Thanks for the interview...and it was great hanging out with you...ASCP - where the real shit goes down.

I just wanna talk all about this new movie idea thats been on my mind.....you see there´s these colletuhs and......i´m jus playin....your secrets safe with me ........Anyways the haters need to get off my dick because jelousy is a bitch....but i dont wanna start hating here because that would make me a hipocrite......but i would like to say THANKS ALOT to cesar and fab for getting me into that new video game "rolling". peace and love to my friends and family and everybody else!
