Congrats to Clayton Woodley! He’s the winner of our T-Mobile Sidekick Video Contest (i.e. he gets $2500 and an autographed Tony Hawk skateboard!). Be sure to check out his wining clip . Here to talk about the spoils of victory is Clayton himself…

ATOM: What’s the first thing you’re going to purchase with your $2500?
Clayton Woodley: All of the $2500 will go towards buying the new Canon 5D Mark II camera. Then, hopefully, I’ll win some more video contests and I can start paying off my debt. Ha.

ATOM: Do you plan to ride your Tony Hawk autographed skateboard? Place it in a glass cage? Sleep with it?
CW: Actually, I’m giving it to the owner of the company I’m with, ZexSports. Then we’ll mount it on the wall and it can mingle with the other decks.

ATOM: If you met Tony Hawk, how would you greet him? Fist bump? Man hug? Old fashioned hand shake? Shake, slide, & snap?
CW: Hmm, probably just a proper handshake. I’m meeting him in a couple of weeks at the Stoked Awards in NYC. I think if I tried to throw in any slides and snaps it would go over his head. I keep those types of greetings for close friends/skaters, handshakes are always the way to go when meeting someone the first time.
