I had the chance to catch up with Eric Holley when he stopped by to do some judging at the contest I threw the other week. I decided I’d shoot a few photos of his bike so you guys can see what he is riding these days, then I tossed him a few questions to see what else is new. Check it out and then leave him some love in the comments…

How are things going with Eastern these days? What does Leigh have you getting into? Do you guys have any trips or filming projects you are going to be involved with? Any signature parts or anything like that in the works?
Eastern is better than ever, those guys hold it down so hard for me. Leigh got a bunch of trips budgeted out for all of us this year. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else being my TM, he is seriousleigh the best ever. I’m hoping to get a sig sprocket poppin’ sometime soon. One that’s great for big ass disasters.
How about The Trip? Anything going on there?
The ++rip is fucking amazing, we’re just a tight ass crew of dudes that live life full blast. Couldn’t be more psyched on the the trip.
Aren’t you guys working on a DVD or something like that? Can you tell us anything about that?
Top secret, Kurt, haha
What about your side Skworl thing you had going on? Any edits from that dropping soon?
It basically was a joke a bunch of us had about starting some kind of company long, long ago. I still ride with all of the people that had that whole idea, so I figured, fuck it, I’im gonna bring it back. So, basically it’s just footage I film with my group of friends that im psyched on. As soon as its nice out again I’ll be working on another one
Normally you are pretty much out of Minnesota all winter, but it seems like you have been hanging out at home. Did you get on any trips at all?
I’m actually on a trip right now in N.C. It’s 60 during the day here and it literally feels like Hawaii.
How are you filling your days these days?
Shit, when I’m not lucky enough to be stuck inside riding some shitty park. I stay cheeched, play Skate and hang with the dudes. I just got a new sick ass house too.
What are your plans for 2011? Anything you really want to make happen?
Fuckin’ shreddin’ and having the best time I can, love life. I just wanna stay as happy as possible.
Anything else you want to say?
Thanks to Leigh and Eastern, Miles and Ty for kickin’ so much ass non-stop. Thanks to all my wild ass friends holdin’ shit down for my ass.
