- So what’s up Cody? What are you up to at this moment?
- I’m just kicking it with the homies in Long Beach.
- How’s the skating going? Are you working on anything right now?
- Skating is going good. Been skating a lot finishing up my part in the new World video, It’s
- Your World. It comes out on 4/20. Check it out.
- Sick! Have you been filming all over the place? Where are you staying right now?
- I’ve been staying in California at Charlie Thomas and Matt Mendenhal’s houses and have been filming a lot around there. We just got back from a trip to Arizona and got a bunch of shit there too. It was a very productive trip.
- So do you think this video part will shout out to people and show them you’re not a contest skater?
- I really hope so; I’ve been working hard to make this part as good as I can!
- I know you’ve been sponsored for a long time and never had a major video part, are you excited for this one to drop? And what kind of craziness has gone into it?
- Yeah, man, I’m super happy and grateful
- for everything that’s going on right now, and I’ve been hucking my body down some things the past few months! Battle wounds…
- Are you hyped on everyone’s parts in the video that have come out so far?
- Yeah, dude, Timmy Knuth’s and Anthony Shelter’s parts were mind blowing. Timmy’s flick nosegrind was top notch.
- Good form! How do you like it out in Cali as opposed to Minnesota?
- I love Minnesota because it’s home, but it gets too cold out there a lot of the time. I love California because of the good weather and I get to skate all day ’cause the sun’s always out.
- So I’ve noticed you have a few tattoos. How old are you now and what are your favorite tattoos that you have?
- I’m seventeen now, but I turn eighteen in October. My favorite tattoo is family first on my forearm.
- Are you excited to turn eighteen? Now you can finally buy your own cigs!
- Yeah, that and I can finally get my own place even though living with my parents was nice.
- Oh yeah? So when you get a place, where are you thinking? California or Minnesota?
- California for sure. Most likely Long Beach ’cause that’s where most of my friends are.
- Yeah, California is good times. Lots of good-looking woman out there! Blondes or brunettes?
- I’ll take a brunette.
- So what’s your current set-up right now?
- 8.1″ Anthony Shetler Celtics graphic with Destructo Trucks and Bones Wheels 52s.
- Did being on the Camp Woodward show get you laid?
- I don’t know if you can say it got me laid, but a lot of people notice me from it.
- After you finish your part for the World video, what’s next?
- Just gonna keep skating and filming as much as I can and continue to try to get more coverage.
