Hey Tom,

A few answers below for your survey, sorry I didn't submit it to the email address. Was fun.

1) What is the most common cause for you to go home from your session?

global warming mostly, and sometimes to work on the bridge that goes from my backdoor to the Subway, i really like their cookies.

(real answer - my wife calls me and yells - "where are you")


(2) What is the most common cause for you to go home from your session - other than board breakage?

i never leave from board breaking, i spend all my time sitting at the park watching jack fardell - please see above.

(real answer - chalky)

(3) Do you carry spare parts or accessories when skating in places away from skate shops/hardware stores?

i carry a spare mobile phone incase my phone camera memory runs out from taking photo's of the dissapointed girls walking out of drew's store with no girls vans. oh away from skate shops, no, i always carry element accesories wherever I go.

(real answer - never, i'm not that prepared)


(4) What are the spares that you carry?

See above, griptape file, bottle opener, spare belt buckle, abec 700 bearing, just one though.

(real answer - nothing)


(5) If you don't have any spares when an issue occurs with your skateboard will you have some MacGyver way of thinking to solve this? Explain

Head right to Subway for some cookies, then take the bridge to my backyard. End session.

(real answer - MacGyver ain't got shit on my solution implementation skills - use little sticks, glue and sand, paper mache and moisturiser for most issues)


(6) Do you own a 'T' tool?

No, but I have a teatowel, this is for drying the dishes.

(real answer - yes)


(7) Is there anything that you don't like or want changed on the 'T' tool? (such as more tools or improved shape/ergonomics)

would be cool if the T tool was lowercase, then it could be used as a sword, in sword fights.

(real answer - make the majority of allen key ends more durable, am I the only person that rounds those things off all the time?)

(8) Would you buy a product that can deal with the malfunction or breakage of skateboards and skateboard related parts and accessories?

(real answer - i would love to hear what you have in mind for this, apart from new product)

All of the above

(6) Do you own a 'T' tool?

(8) Would you buy a product that can deal with the malfunction or breakage of skateboards and skateboard related parts and accessories?
