The year is almost over and we decided to ask some of your favorite Pros to give us a little wrap up of their 2012. Events they’ve visited, edits or videos they’ve filmed for, their favorite moments of the year…
2012: Billy O‘Neill
Hey Billy, how you’re doing these days? How does your normal day look like?
Hey Jojo, hope everything is going well with you and thanks for hitting me up for this. I’m been doing well, right now I’m in NYC and currently living in Oakland, but I’ve been bouncing back and forth because my mom is not in good health, so I’m trying to see her as much as possible.
A normal day for me usually depends where I am and what time of year, but in Oakland it’s like this : Wake up, play with one of the dogs, drink pineapple juice and smoke a biff, then (if the weather permits it) I go skate, try to film a clip or 2, then come home, play music, maybe crack a few beers and hang with the homies.
Hows New York in the wintertime?
New York is rough for skating in the winter, wayyy too cold and usually very snowy/ice…good time to go to bars though.
You want to give us a little wrap up of how your 2012 looked like?! Please name your 2012…
