Seshn: What do you think of all this global warming bullshit with these massive pow dumps we have seen over the last few weeks? Is it legit or just another government hoax?
Eddie Wall: Whether its true or not, keeping less fumes in the air and cars off the road is good. Keeping everything we do super environmental is the best trend we can get into anyways. No matter whats happening its cool to see people trying to do shit about it, whether it has to do with global warming or not.

Seshn: Who are your sponsors these days?
Eddie Wall: forum, foursquare, dc, smith, vestal, mammoth, jacks.

Eddie Wall: DC is the shit!! They back their team so damn hard! its insane. They really give a lot of credit to the team for their success. They are basically the best company in the industry in my eyes, them, forum, and burton are the dopest. Ken Block is the man.

Seshn: How big of an impact do you think the internet has on action sports and where do you see it all headed?
Eddie Wall: It probably impacts it alot cause it gets footage, riders, product and all of that right into peoples homes,,, for me it doesn’t really matter,,, i check my emails and myspace and thats it,,, I dont “surf the net.”
