art- well i dont follow much art i just make it, i love looking at other peoples art but im not sure i have a favorite artist, i guess im not well edjucated about artists its just something i love to do, it takes my mind off of all the crap from the troubles of life. i like to paint abstract backrounds and make images over top of them, usually pieces about Christ and the end of the world. i like to paint things against the new world order and politcians.
my beliefes- i believe Christ died for mans sins and the way to heaven is by believeing that christ died for us and that he was the son of God. Its hard to swallow for people and i understand completely but i just know that im a major mess up and some how some way jesus loves me and helps me through my hard times... i got some pretty bad horror stories and i have to give Jesus the glory for keeping me safe. im not perfect nor will i be until i pass on to be with jesus, i still listen to music that isnt christian, i drink some, i am trying to stop smoking cigs but ultimently i just love god and try my best to not be a bad person. jesus is the prince of peace, mercy and forgivness.. when i mess up i try my best to not make the same mistake and ask for forgivness....
bike set up- garrett byrnes t-1 prototype(on borrow mode) fit stem, shadow seat,oddessy cassett, slam bars, a pair of forks that reynolds gave me i think they are oddessy, my front wheel is a skyway mag,profile cranks and a pair of eastern pedals that brad gethard gave me, and a shadow sprocket....
riding style- agro street, try and ride smooth through the trails, turn downs and tables, little no foot can can action, sometimes ill spin 3's... i like icepicking wild rails and doing fakie airs. big wall rides are something i love to do too.
i love tattoos, im loaded, shout out to white lotus tattoo in downtown toms river nj(dezi mooney and all the boys)
music- i love it all, from hardcore to jazz,classical, blues,punk,classicrock,deathmetal,justin timberlake?
words of advise- keeep on keeping on and never give up, keep pushing forward to better yourself and love life, live it to its fullest!

John keeps it real.
Sick Guy!
