How has your life changed five years ago to now? A lot I have only been pro for 2 years so I have learned and traveled a lot in the last 5 years.

What is your favorite place you have got to visit thus far? Zurich, Switzerland, Haiti, Guantamino Bay, Cuba.

Where did you get the nickname “Adambomb?” It was a nickname given the by my friends recently. It stuck, so I created a trademark logo that will be featured on my new Pro Model helmet.

How does a typical day in the life of Adam Taylor go? Well I don’t like waking up early so I usually get up late then go skate and hangout with my friends, unless I’m traveling, then I do a lot of stuff like exploring and such.

Words to live by? Don’t worry about the negative things people will tell you.
