Tim Campbell - Professional Skater

Q: What got you started in the skating world?
A: Id have to say... T.V., Friends, actually friends are a huge part of it. and then i would have to say the overall enthusiasm of skating, and the lifestyle.

Q. Who are your role models?
A: Definitely Mike Valley for skating, because of his skating style, aggression but overall in life, and its funny, cause I don't ever talk about this, but my Father for the morals and work ethic he gave me and because he taught me early in life to do what makes me happy, and taught me to be straight forward and honest. Which in my eyes is huge.

Q: What are your influences?
A: Creativity, making great runs, Music, Hip-Hop, Beastie Boys, Talib, Deltron 3030.

Q: Give us a example of a typical day of skating.
A: Well, when I wake up, i have to have my CTC!!! (Cinnamon Toast Crunch), Then id probably get ready, and throw my board in my truck, and head for the city. I would start skating for a while and then most likely get lunch, Hot Dogs, or Hamburgers. Then I would definitely revisit the spots I had found before, and hit those again for a while. I always finish with some self-criticism, and review of what I did.

Q: Whats your favorite brands?
A: Element, Zero, Independent, Lucky, Swiss, Osiris, and Adio
