Its been a little while since we hit you with the Boundless 5 Questions. We’re sorry, it’s been busy over here. But we are back and so is Mighty Healthy.

Nick Langella put a pen to the paper on this round of 5 Questions with Ray Mate. Enjoy.

Oh and I threw in a bonus collage of Ray’s Greatest Hits from his Blog at CrazySteezYo.

1.What was your first skate set up?

Ray: Vision Ken Park with Indy’s and OJII Wheels I had the worst griptape job ever worst set up ever.

2. What do you know about cock fighting?

Ray: I know Aaron is a LOM (Lover of Men) but it does not make him a bad person.
My dad breeds fighting cocks and has had a few champs. He has a a dozen of them in the Phillippines at our Summer home out there. All I know is that its really gnarly to watch and my pops does well with it. They have supplements that are made to feed those fuckers to get them amped!!

3. What’s your favorite skate spot in Long Island?

Ray: Right now I would say Lido Beach Skatepark…..its by the beach and its fun to skate. Mini ramps, little banks and quarterpipes. All the homies go there like Fink, Dan Lee, Gino Iannucci, Matt Bell and Rozetti

4. Give me one word to describe the state of our industry and what it means?

Ray: Its pretty whatevs right now….too many brands but some will rise and some will fall

5. when are you going to get a dog son?

Ray: Well I have been traveling a lot so I cant really have one right now when things are all settled maybe I will get my french bulldog one of these days
