Highlight for you from the premiere at Velocity Island Park?
The biggest highlight has to be how people came out in the rain to support the movie. The day before we had sunny and 95, but the day of the premiere it was 65, cold and rainy all day. We still had a massive turnout of over 300 people though! We brought out heaters, tents, tiki torches and lights so it was an awesome atmosphere. They even opened up the cable so people could ride while everything was going on. One of the craziest things though was in the middle of the movie it started raining again and no one left. That was the coolest. Everyone was so into it they were willing to sit in the rain to watch it.

Was that everyone’s first time watching the full movie?
We had a private showing a night before for everyone who was in it, which was cool to have the crew together. Most people got to at least see their part though and be involved with picking tricks and stuff. Coming from the other side of the camera I know how riders see things differently sometimes and like certain angles and tricks over other ones. It sucks when you have a part come out and know you had better tricks and angles of tricks.

Is there a standout trick for you that still gets you hyped every time you see it?
That’s tough to pick, there’s a few. My favorite scenic shot would be a shot in the end of Schwenne’s part. For a trick though I would have to say Randall had a few insane boat tricks and winch things that will surprise people.

What are your plans for this summer now that everything with the movie is done?
I’m going to be filming someones part for X-Games Real Wake, which is insane. Being asked to be part of that is an honor. Also, I recently signed with MB Boats so I am going to help film some of their catalogue stuff this summer. Hyperlite has a web series this summer, too, so I will be riding a lot for that and helping film whenever they need me. I really want to try shooting differently than I have before too. It’s easy to get comfortable and content, so I want to push myself and riders on a few projects I have in mind.

When does Dog Dayz come out to the general public?
May 24th on iTunes. It took a little longer than I thought to get approved and up, but it will be out at the beginning of the summer for everyone.

What are your plans for an Orlando Premier?
We’ll be downtown at Harry Buffalo on the 23rd during Wake Open weekend. Doors open at 8:00 and the movie is playing at 8:30/45. It’s a restaurant and bar so it’s open to all ages, so everyone come out, haha! We will have giveaways and stuff too so it should be a good night.
