Ted: I like to hang out on a sunny day in the buff. I like to surf in
my birthday suit
Carveboarding.com: What's the worst accident you've been in?
Ted: I think I was in 5th grade. I bombed this hill on my BMX dirt bike
and went off a 4' ramp - which was as tall as I was. I got like 15' of
air and did a pile driver into the dirt. That sucked. I bent my wheel,
snapped my front fork, and jacked up my shins.
Or maybe the time when I bombed this hill on my Sector 9 pintail.
I was jamming down this 2 mile run in Jackson, Wyoming. Near the bottom
I hit some steep twisties and lost control. I had to be going 35 mph at
least and I started swinging out into the wrong lane of traffic on the
right-handers. I just had to bail it into the gravel. Want a cheese
pizza with too much sauce?
Carveboarding.com: What's the best trip you've been on?
Ted: San Clemente -- best Carve runs of my life! 2 mile runs with ocean
views! Shhh, don't tell anyone -- well worth the trip.

listening to repetitive electronic music." Kristian Wilson, Nintendo Inc.
