Do you have a job that isn’t BMX related?
No…. Just ride my bike.
How does a typical day go for you?
Wake up at noon grab some lunch then head to the trails. Do a little digging and a bit of BMX.
A while ago your trails got plowed, do you have any new ones in the works?
It took me almost two years to pick up the shovel again but I have a new spot in the works. Should be better then the last set of trails. (: ))
Your part in the VULT 456 dvd a while back was really good, do you have any new parts coming up?
I’m working with Larry Alvarado on a edit for Profile. As far as a full video part goes if its not all street its not going to happen. Street is what’s hot. But who knows maybe one day someone might want to see some good old fashion trails!
Do you have any new bangers you have been getting done or close to lately?
Lately its been all digging. But there’s always a few things in the works.
Are you still doing demos?
Haha Im at a demo right now filling this out. Its so chill I get to travel and do what I love for a living without having to win the X games.
Who are the main people you ride with?
Jared Eberewin aka jearbear. He’s not only an amazing rider but a really good person. He keeps it real positive and fun. I love that kid.
Who are the people you look up to the most?
My family. With out them I would be lost. As far as BMX goes I would say Corey Bohan.
Where are your favorite places to ride?
Enterprise at woodward west
Blue Bench
jurupa park
Chino park
Do you have any injuries from riding?
Not anything to bad. When I was a kid I broke my left ankle 3 times.
If you couldn’t ride anymore, what would you do?
Start real life.
Do you have any big trips or anything coming up?
Im working with profile on travel for 08. So I hope to travel to a few fun contest like the empire of dirt.
What trick do you think gives you the most trouble that people wouldn’t expect?
Haha Barspins to tire taps are a bitch.
Any shout outs?
