BMX Jared Chilko Interview!

October 1, 2007

Age?
20 years.

Sponsors?
Fit Bike co. and Transition bmx.

How many years have you been riding?
Probably since I was 14 or 15 so 5 or 6.

You seem to be excessively well known on bikeguide, why is that?
Not sure, I post quite a bit on there so that is probably why…..Good Ol’ Bike Guide.

Along with all of the lovers, what do you think of the haters?
Not sure, they are there and they make some pretty funny comments, I can’t help but laugh. Good times.
Its only bike riding right? But seriously, there are dudes that hate because I do a lot of airs, turndowns and such, for some reason I get a lot of shit for that. I have rode like that for a long time, if I feel like going all trick crazy I will and do at times, just whenever it feels right. Like everyone else.

You have been going for fully clicked beyond clicked lookbacks(bars all the way around) have you got those yet?
Um, not quite. I can get them further in 180 loobacks over a jumpbox or hip than I can in an air but I think it is possible. 300 is there just 60 more I guess. Probably have to break may arm or something. haha.

I heard somewhere you try really hard to put style in to your stuff, is that true or is it natural?
I like to land my stuff really nosed down and I have always rode pretty crouched, people flag on me “quite putting style into just pedaling around” That is how I ride can’t really change it. I try and do what feels natural and right, that’s all.

living in Canada, it snows a lot (last time I checked), what are your plans for the winter?
Ah man, my nearest indoor park got closed down and the next closest is on the vurge of closing its doors as well. There is one about and hour and a half away and a skate only one really close. I am thinking I am going to convince the skaters to let me ride there. I think I can.

Do you have any big road trips or anything planned for 2008?
Probably go to Vancouver a few times, Penticton, head to Cali and Vegas also. I have big plans.

Outside of riding what do you do? (work and stuff you do for fun)
I like to play around with videography, my VW, music,read, write, party, and mad bitches, haha.

If I remember right your going to college, what for?
I am second year in the education program, going to major in health ed. and minor in social studies. Yeah, yeah, a boring high school teacher.

What are some things you would really like to be able to do with BMX? (anything in general from stuff you want, to the people, to the companies, whatever you make of it)
Not really much I want to do but have fun riding my bike and progress. I am really happy with the stuff I get from Fit bike wise so that’s basically it I guess.

What is your favorite song/artist?
Man, that is broad a question. A few of my favorite bands are Pinback, Tegan and Sara, The new pornographers, The Doors, Tom Petty, Smashing Pumpkins, I could go on and on.

Favorite place to ride?
Kaskitayo skate park and Downtown Street in Edmonton. The Penticton Park in B.C is great too. basically big steep quarterpipes and I am happy.

Favorite websites?
Fitbikes.com, bmxtransition.com, bikeguide.org, skateperception, vwvortex.com, seehersquirt.com…haha.

Any shout outs or thanks you would like to say?Yeah, I would like to say thanks to Bernie at Transition bmx and 1664, Robbie Fitbikes, my family, and my friends.

Anything else I didnt ask you would like to say?

ride bikes.
