Rory:
name,
age sex, and how long have you been skating
Dan:
My
name is Daniel Morgan, i am 15 , im a dude and have been skating for 2 and a half years.
Rory:
what
inspired you to pick up a board?
Dan:
i
saw some dudes that i used to think were cool but now theyre "competing" with our video, but they were what inspired me when
i saw them doin 5-0's on curbs and slappy noseslides, it was soo sick when i saw it, i had to learn.
Rory:
what
is the happiest that you have ever been on a board (or a few feet from it)?
Dan:
I
spent a year tryin to 360 flip the mmc, when i landed it on the day i did it, it took like 8 trys, i felt so relieved.
Rory:
cool...
how is your footage coming for "Something Else"... is there anything that you are not sworn to secreacy and can actually tell
us.
Dan:
haha
yea what the hell, im not to happy with the footage i have, mt friends call me lame for it, but my best thing i have right
now i think is a kickflip nose slide bigspin. I have some more really satisfying tricks but im savin them.
Rory:
How
long have you been skating with the homie G's... i mean how long have you known the NAR crew?
Dan:
Ever
since it started, my friend Tai was one of the original creators with me and John, ive known Dale ever since he was a dinosaur
wierdo who i played basketball with and i met everyone else in 6th grade and we all started skateing and adding people to
the team, it has been fun spreading the word about Nar.

County all of my life, not to shabby but it kinda sucks.

i first started i was amazed by Geoff Rowley, he was the shit, but no i have realized that Aaron Snyder and Pj Ladd are the
future of technical skateboarding, those guys and soo sick.
Rory:

plays guitar with his finger tips and wants a bass, so i wouldent doubt at least haveing a few highschool bands. The Jesus
Punchers would ba a sick name to.
