(Above) During this interview Kristen called me a dunce, which I haven’t been called since Primary school and I’m not even sure what it means. Here he backside lipslides the length of the ledge for all the dunces out there.
Hello there, for those that don’t know you, who are you?Hello Romeo Tortigraph. My name is Kristen Famularo, I’m 20 years old, I'm from the Sunshine Coast and I skateboard and play music.
You live on the Sunshine Coast, how do you find the time to skate when so much time needs to be allocated to act cool? Hahaha, you have been here. The thing is Rome, some are just born cool, so some of us don’t have to act. You, on other hand… But yeah, finding time to skate is easy, the hard thing is finding spots to skate. Dinos forever!

You dress quite… um… what’s a nice way to put it… faggoty. Why is that? Rip Curl packages getting sent somewhere else? Is this about your ex-girlfriend Vivian trying to get you to dress like me? Kudos on the word faggoty.
Thanks, it’s one of my favourites! And for the readers out there, Vivian is a make-believe girl that Kristen invented and would like to call me pretending he was her, which was quite entertaining. You ride a skateboard quite well, but you also do other things. What other things do you do? I have been playing drums since I was 6, and I’ve been getting into guitar as of late.
Getting into! I saw your YouTube clip where you play a ridiculously hard song on the guitar, how’d you do that? I can play one Pennywise song. Well, I watched this guy on YouTube do it and thought damn, the girls would love that. So I sat down and watched the guy play it over and over and worked it out.

That easy huh? Remember on that trip to Sydney we went on and that sketchy chick licked your scabby hand? Do you lay there at night and wish you married her? That girl was rank and you know it. But didn't you tell me that Pat and Sparx had an encounter with her too?
Haha yeah, the old birds tried to take them home. I think Pat might have even went! You’re also a bit of a God botherer (Christian) but you’re way cooler than most and don’t try to tell me I can’t sin, which just makes me want to sin even more. How come you’re cooler than the rest? Haha, yeah it sucks how these so called "Christians" are freaking people out so much. Jesus NEVER condemned anyone! He's the guy I want to be like, so I guess that makes me cooler.
Yeah I guess. Do you think if time was allocated you could be a professional dancer? I’ve seen you cut the rug and I was impressed to put it lightly. Haha, to be honest when I was a kid I wanted to be a tap dancer, but my parents never got me lessons, thank God. But yeah, dancing is a lot of fun, and just so everyone knows Rome cuts the rug quite all right too.

Haha, I tried to do the moonwalk the other day on the stickiest ground, I was unsuccessful. What about your hair, has it always been so nice? Well I have some sad news there. I have cut it, I look sort of normal now.
I don’t know about normal. You have one of the loveliest tre flips around, how did you learn them so good? My legs always go together like I’m doing a bomb dive, yours spread like a street hooligan at the end of a long night in the cross. Haha, when I learnt them I just did them all the time. They are a fun trick to do so I guess that's why I can do them.
They’re good! Remember how we shot that back noseblunt on the Sunshine Coast ages ago? Jack did it first, why were you trying to show him up? Do you hate him or something? First of all it was Canberra ya dunce, and both you and I thought it hadn't been done. I still don't know who did it first. But you got to admit Rome, his photo was better then ours. They had him reflecting in water and everything.
Must have been Photoshopped, haha. Yeah, Chami’s photos was way better. I think we have enough, say anything you want! I may as well be cliché and thank my sponsor Rip Curl. Thanks to my family, God, Vivian and of course you Rome.
