musicmoveson asked: I see you've mastered the flight of the longboard technique. Amazing man haha. What's are you thinking in your head as you get closer to the ramp, going off of it, and while you're in mid air? :D

Answer:

Hahahah I wouldn’t say mastered the technique just yet, but I’m getting more comfortable in the air on a longboard thats for sure. Ramps are intense no matter how big or small they are if you are approaching them at anything over 15mph. Before the ramp I try to think about my feet positioning and try to remember to hold on, and when I’m in mid air its all about trying to figure out how to land and ride away clean, it’s all timing. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt, but that’s longboarding.

iammiguel asked: Okay, so one of my friends is from Hamilton, MA and I showed her your Ask Bish! Answers Pt. 4 because you gave a shout out to this guy from her hometown, and apparently she slightly knows him, I think he works at her dad's store. Anyway, she said that you looked kind of familiar, which is because you did gymnastics with her sister. I was kind of actually incredibly stoked because you are just awesome man, and ridiculously talented!

Answer:

Hahaha yeah that guy I have a shout out to is my girlfriends little brother, Pat Fontaine. That kid’s awesome. Anyway, stoked to hear that you liked the ask bish vids, thinking of doing more if I can find the time. Keep shreddin!

lifes-best-on-a-board asked: Hey Brian, firstly, huge fan man. Checking out the footage you shot for original and on your own is really what got me started long boarding. Anyway, I've been riding for about a year now and its been great but still rather basic carving and straight downhill. I want to start learning more tricks and slides, So I was wondering if you had any tips on how to get started?

Answer:

Hey dude! Starting off with tricks and slides is the best part about skating, it’s something that I still do and what I love most about skating, trying new things. Starting with nose/tail manuals, shuvits, and 180 slides is a great place to start. From those three tricks you can pretty much begin to dive into thousands of different combos using the basics behind those tricks. Parking lots are great for that type of stuff, do what you love, and do what is fun. Shred on!
