How has life changed since you guys had your son?
It's actually been a lot of fun. Hasn't changed too much for me.
What are your hobbies outside skateboarding?
Playing hockey and occasional poker tournament.
Do you play hockey with 'The Ducks' and Mike V?
Mike invited me to go to one and it was pretty rad. I haven't played with Mike in a while though. He got too busy for me.
You seem to receive a lot of prank phone calls, whats the best one someone came at you with?
I've been getting a fucking tons of calls a day, saying the same shit......"(background noise, stuttering) ah ah ah. Is this Billy Marks?(confused)"
One kid called and asked if I work at Subway. I said no, why? He said "cuz you just gave me a footlong".
What's the best way you retaliated to a prank call?
I will sometimes talk to them unless there being a fucking dumbass.

Favorite YouTube clip?
What's up with the new Toy Machine video? Are you having a part?
Yes I am. I think its a promo video that's suppose to be done around April... I think, yea I think I'm gonna have a part.
Do you still fuck with the ping pong balls? When do you go pro?
No. Never.
What do you think about Kirchart and his minions talking junk on you for kickflipping grabbing his gap?
I thought it was rad cuz Heath is my favorite skater. Kickflip grab was a joke. I don't think Heath even cares or cared. He never said anything to me.
Describe the Cold Case show? How did that come about? What did you have to do for that? Any funny stories come about this?
'Cold Case' is like a CSI show, Berra asked me to do a stunt double cuz I kinda looked like the kid and he needed a regular footed skater. I did a couple of kickflips. Not really too much funny stuff happened. One guy asked if I had an extra sheet of grit.
