Interview
|
| |
What got you into barefooting?
It looked really cool, and it was way better than knee boarding!
|
| |
How did you learn to barefoot?
My cousin gave me the short rope, told me how to do a swing out, and told me to hang on real tight.
|
| |
Who was your first barefoot instructor?
Richard Gray
|
| |
How did you feel the first time you barefooted?
Like MOSES!
|
| |
Why do you continue to barefoot?
It is the hardest sport I have ever done. It is one constant challenge after another.
|
| |
Who has inspired you in this sport?
Richard Gray: His stories about the old days of barefooting make you want to go out and find the smallest piece of crap water, and do every trick you know, in a snowstorm.
KSO: He has time to talk to anyone and everyone in this sport. For a man of his skills, he has no attitude at all.
