Age: 25
Home: Camden Palace, London
Have you got some other sponsors?
Aye I do, should i list 'em? Nike SB, Matix, Venture, Mob Grip.
Who do you skate with on a regular basis?
Riff Raff!
When did you start skating and why?
I started skating last year 'cause I thought Tony Hawk's was cool!
Has being a professional skateboarder changed things for you?
Yeah i get £10 more then jobseekers allowance a week!! No, only joking! Yeah its harder work sometimes as it puts you up there to be judged by others. As in I was injured for the majority of last year and skating in front of people after that was hard work, weird things pray on your mind when you're not at your best.Things are all good now though, it's just something you have to embrace.
I'm finding it as enjoyable as the day I started if not more! I get to travel the world and enjoy doing the thing I love on the daily!
Where's Snowy? Horizons Offcuts
Where's the best place you've ever skated? What made it so good?
The streets of London and New York, and the chance of finding something untouched is good! But for me the most fun I've had was when we were living in Barca skating only the flatground at MACBA day in, day out, endless games of skate, xibeca, hash and hambugesa completas! Good days!
South Bank or Cantelowes?
Anywhere else!
Tell us a good story about your local spot...
To many to mention considering South Bank was the local. I'll leave it to the imagination or update it when I can be bothered to think of one! Ha Ha!
What would you want it to say on your tombstone?
That is a lame question!
What do you do besides skateboarding? Have you got a secret Star -Trek fixation or something?
Lots of things! Cooking, partying, t'missus, cups of tea or coffee (Londons turned me into a poof as people up north might say), travel and adventure.
Who would you least like to live with from the Landscape team?
Sorry Rory but your snoring could drive a man insane!
Who would you most like to live with from the Landscape team?
Dont know really. I bet Jin's pretty domesticated - making cups of tea, cooking and cleaning and stuff. Probably Joey though 'cause we've basically lived in each other's pockets before and we didn't kill each other!
Do you favour a certain kind of music? What have you been listening to?
Everything from Goat Perverter (sic) to Ghostface Killah and all that falls into brackets between that!

Who are your favourite skaters and why?
So hard to narrow these things down, there's so many! OK, briefly - Mariano - ease! Fred Gall - steez! Cardiel - Gnarlz|! Kalis, Penny, Matt Rodriguez, Ocean Howell, Stevie Williams , Robbie Gangemi, the McBride's... There's just too many so that'll have to do for now!
You're from the North aren't you, how Long have you lived in London now?
Damn near on 7 years boss!
Tell us about a good book you've read recently...
Banco by Henri Chaerrie. Brilliant book - sequel to Papillon! And right now i'm just about to start Shane McGowan's autobiography.
What does your set-up consist of usually?
A skateboard, trucks, wheels, nuts and a set of bearings usually!
Snowy's Part in the first Landscape video Portraits
Tell us your 3 favourite video parts.
Guy Mariano - Mouse, Robbie Gangemi - Mixtape and i'm loving Fred Gall's section in Inhabitants!
What plans do you have for the future?
Many, many things! Too much to deliberate.
Got any shout outs?
Of course my lady, friends and family, past and present. To everyone everywhere who i'm lucky enough to have had grace my life at some time or another, shout outs to you all!
