interview 11

Eddie Chaffe
22 lucky years old.
Riding for 11 years both MTB and BMX.


fav spot to ride.. "The Dream" at Sheffield. Cool dirt jumps and amazing race track.

Riding style.. I like to pedal, go high and long in any style that gets the job done weather it looks controlled or not, landing smoothly or hard. Composure is the key. BOSH!

plans for this year.. Drink less and be up early everyday, ride more, visit all my friends and go on many fun holidays and make more things happen for myself.
Ride more race tracks and hopefully do well in some regional races. But maybe out for a while as a knee op is in the balance hopefully, because having a few problems riding, less of the road running races me thinks lol.

what inspires you to ride.. First of all, the sunshine! Nice pretty girls watching! Old photos and memories, and when my friends are riding well.

who inspires you?.. My Granddad. My friends, the ones who ride BMX, the ones who ride MTB and some that don't ride at all.

describe your local scene.. I think that the our local scene is really amazing, Everyone supports each other and give probs when someone does something they are pleased with even though there are a wide range of talent in the scene but this adds to the character of the group and I know everyone is happy where they’re at in BMX.
Also I think we have a great park which is only there due to the work of the skate park users, and apart from riding each is willing to help each other out, and also most of the riders are great to party with.

music.. Any live music event with a stage that I can get naked on. Too many bands to list, My friends bands and DJ sets.
Anything to get me going to get loose to and chill out stuff aswell.

what you at when not riding.. International man of mystery fighting off evil aliens to save humanity for everyone but I’ve handed in my resignation and leave the job on Thursday. Sleeping, eating, well into cooking at the moment and try cooking something new most nights, Working to pay the bills, Socialising. Running and reading. Im happy with life.

thanks to anyone.. I have a lot of gratitude for various people and they know who they are, they are the friends who I speak to all the time. I appreciate what anyone does for me and take no one for granted.
