| INTERVIEW | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
OK.. J Cross. Out of all the other Team Riders..you hated your interview questions, why?
Some of the questions just seemed like every other interview, little boring, wanted some weird questions. I guess well will probably use some of the originals anyways.
Why do you bodyboard?
It was natural with all my friends growing up. I grew up at the beach my whole life so that's just what we did. There wasn't really any option, plus I got tired of hitting concrete from skating.
Who is the most under-rated athlete in the world, any sport?
Probably Simon Thornton after seeing recent Tahiti photos. That guys rushes!!
Who is the most under-rated woman in the world?
Hmm..dunno..maybe Mother Theresa.
You work out like a mad man, don't lie, you do. What's your obsession with being fit?
Laird Hamilton and Lance Armstrong work out like mad men! I know when I'm in tune with my body, you have a clear mind and more focus. It's good to push yourself.
You can have the party of your life. Who's invited, where, and what are you all doing?
All my friends at the penthouse at the Wynn in Vegas with unlimited bank roll with high roller service. The details, well, just imagine the possibilities..haha
Blonde, Brunettes, or Red Heads?
Yes please! I don't discriminate!
You only have $50 left and two more weeks on the North Shore. How do you survive?
Get hit with a rush of anxiety and then hit Foodland for a few cold ones. Once those are in me I would have to devise a master plan. I would run through the possibilites of only eating ramen and sleeping on the beach, swimming home... selling everything I had: boogie, fins, trunks, fine jewelry, recycle all the cans and bottles on the North Shore. Finally come to the conclusion that standing on the corners of Waikiki where I could paint myself crazy colors and make up a new way of dancing and singing with a jar out for tips. Yeah that's probably the best option.
You surfed Scar Reef in Indo with Rusty awhile back. You had an intimate time with the coral.. tell us about it?
We had just surfed super sucks for eight hours and I had just seen the best waves of my life. The tide got too low so we decided to take the boat to scar reef and it was suppose to be good. It ended up being really good and after surfing super sucks all day I was all fired up. I took off on the outside and decided to hit the section, landed in the flats, got lipped and dragged into the inside. The tide was nice and low and I was just being grinded like hamburger helper. I got out and was bleeding all over. I didn't mind to much because it was one of the best days of my life and what better way to remember it than by getting scarred up.
You once dumped a girl because she wore sandals too often. You also like super skinny girls... what's your deal?
I didn't dump her cause of sandals, however that did play a huge role into it...haha..and I do like skinny girls but i like them in all different shapes and sizes.
J Cross, what's the motto you live by?
Stay positive and stay motivated to try new things and have new experiences, never settle on one experience, good times!
Where is RXYM Fashion going and where do you fit in?
RXYM is going to the moon, sun, bodyboarding, art, fashion, skating, music... its going everywhere you think and will continue to find new ways to create and support talent.
Parting words..
Shout out to my friends and family everywhere.. RXYM Family 3007!! "The future is uncertain and the end is always near."
