ZUMIEZ: What are your highlights of the year?

Paul Hart: Just being able to skate in California and travel with rad humans, you know, with these other Pro skaters, people that I grew up watching, has being the highlight to me, just having a good vibe, just out living here in California ... California livin'!

ZUMIEZ: What is your favorite place you have traveled to?

Paul Hart: Like, China is crazy, that's an experience, I wanna say just like China. Even though, Barcelona and Europe is beautiful, China is just like, wild! So that's a cool place to me.

ZUMIEZ: What trick took you the longest to get?

Paul Hart: I mean, growing up skating, probably Tre flips. I was so tiny and I couldn't ever get the board to 360, gosh, it took so long. Everybody was saying that's a grow man trick, you'll learn when you are a grown man, so Tre flips for sure. Work on them everyday, until I finally got it.

ZUMIEZ: Where is the craziest place you've done the worm?

Paul Hart: Yeah, flying home from Vegas, you know, 30,000ft up in the air, so I'll just do the worm in the aisle, so yeah, in the airplane, 30,000ft in the air! (laugh)

ZUMIEZ: How was your first gypsy life tour?

Paul Hart: Ah, it was rad! Great experience with all the Cliché dudes. Chet Childress was on that trip and he was just hilarious, but it's the best experience ever, camping and skating, can't get better then that!

ZUMIEZ: It may sound cliché, but how does it feel to be Pro?

Paul Hart: Sshhh ... it's pretty wild you know, just skating all your life for this particular moment.
