[Q. Is there any song you wanted to skate to that you knew you couldn’t because it would be pushing the limits just a wee bit too far?]

I’ve always wanted to skate to a rap song. Whether T.I. or Eminem, I don’t know, but I would skate it in a very real way, a very soulful way. Many skaters do rap as a funny performance — they pretend to have flavor and urban feelings, but they’re all super-white and “Wonder Bread,” as I say. I would want to tap into the soul and pain of rap and really do it right. You don’t have to sag your pants and dance like you’re drunk to perform to rap. I’d be Johnny Weir, skating the way I normally do, in a costume I’d be proud of, feeling the rap.
