Favorite Terrain: Anything big and technical, pretty much. I don't really like small ledges. I mean I skate 'em but, I'm trying to progress.

Favorite place to skate: I would say probably Japan… In Japan I had a ball, Australia was good, everywhere kinda has their little touches. Vancouver two years ago was like super good but everything's been skated up and barred up.

Usually session with: Everyday is different. I might hang out with Muska, it might be with Elissa Steamer, it might be… we all live in one little campus area. I skate with Guy a lot.

How often do you skate?
Pretty much, since I've been hurt… you know I just got back on my board a couple days ago. Normally I skate four times out of the week, but we building our own skatepark though, so it'll be pretty much every day.

Most memorable skateboarding experience: When I was in Prague and I sacked real hard, that was the most crazy scenario.

I like Sade, Wu Tang, Mob Deep. I'm coming with my own record label called City Stars records.

Pets:
Nah, just my little son [laughs]. He's four years old, little Reem Jr.

Were your parents supportive of your skateboarding?
When I first did it, nah 'cause they didn't know that it was actually a sport. Now she loves it… I take care of her now.

What would you be doing right now if you weren't skating?
Probably playing basketball… I don't really know, I always ask myself that. I have no clue.

Do you have any advice for all the skaters?
Number one, be yourself. That's the number one key. Basically, hey, love everyone. You know what I mean, we're all just skateboarders.
