Austyn and Massimo have been lurking around the workplace so much these days we decided to put them to work and ask each other some questions.

Interview conducted by Massimo Cavedoni.

For how long have you been associated with the notorious Liberty Boardshop?

I think for around 7 to 8 years, thats a rough guesstimate.

Which Liberty employee do you find yourself leasuring with the most?

hmm… i would have to go with Jeff Chikami, or also Chad Van Valkenburg.

Did you complete all four years of high school?

Yes, indeed though it may not seem so. i did my first 2 years at independent studies, then i skipped my jr. year by doing all the work, and then finished up my last year in public school. Everybody was telling me that it was a good idea that I should test out the last year in public school and so i did. It ended up working out pretty well so I guess it was a good idea.

How hard was it parting ways with Hawk Clothing?

Well have you ever seen Gladiator? if so you will remember the part when Russell Crowe’s family get’s killed and he is left just to fight for his life. well thats a little bit how it felt.

If you could be any animal, what would it be and why?

If I were to be any animal I would go with sloth.

Favorite travel destination that your skateboard has taken you?

Barcelona was my favorite, just so easy to get around and good food.

Where would you like to go that you have not yet gone?

AUSTRALIA!

Fred Gall has well over a decades worth of video parts, which do you treasure most?

I know that I wasn’t really  skating at all at the time, but when I saw his timecode part I was pretty hyped. Anything Freddy does is always interesting to watch so it’s kinda hard to just pick one part.

If the entire Habitat team was on Survivor, who would be the first to get eleminated?

Damn, I’m gonna go with ray.

If the world does indeed end in 2012, who would you like to see take the final title of Skater of the Year?

Haha you would ask that. I’m going to say you Massimo.
