1. What was the catalyst for you getting involved in BMX?
We had grown tired of ' stool mx ' at Drayton school.
2. What was your first BMX bike & what is your fondest memory of that bike?
MMmmmmmmm pretty sure it was a chrome DP !! freestyler , and the memory would have to be putting it on two chairs so i could elevate it above the ground pretending to ride it , as it was all finished bar 2 black skyway wheels.
3. What is your favourite type of riding & your favourite trick at the moment?
Favourite type of riding is flatland. Favourite trick is anything dialled really. Although the triple decade 99.99% was as near to the' Hall of Fame' as i have been.
4. How many BMX bikes have you owned since you started riding?
Dp freestyler , reynolds531 ?, TRM ( on loan) , Bully , The legendary ' Big Daddy' , Hoffman EP, Dividual, KGB pysconnecta and Pysconnexion. So 9 i guess. But just round that up to ten cause i know i missed something.
5. What do you think of the current state of the BMX industry?
Industry! We have way more choice than we did back then. Its just everyone needs to sell their product more than anyone else.
6. If money was no object, what bike/frame/part would you go out & buy today?
Done it mate, The Ti project this year was pretty much the bike that i wanted to build and was equally functional.
7. What’s the worst thing you’ve ever wasted your money on relating to BMX?
A black reynolds frame from Trinders bike shop. lightweight tubing , it was wrecked in 10 minutes.
8. What riders have been a source of inspiration in your riding & why?
Definately plywood hoods for me , cause thats the direction my riding went in.
9. If you could learn any trick what would that trick be?
Still want to ride a cliffhanger some day , i reckon 100 hours of practise may be enough to roll it for 1 ft. 200 hours = 2ft...........you get the jist.
10. If you had to put on a Haro type 1 number plate on your bike with a message on it what would it say? (ie:- ‘trix R 4 kidz’)
No , it would say, ' Wilmaroraraman' radical cyclo dude' in a sort of backfired way.......:-)

cheers BK
for those of you not down with 'stool MX' it involved trying to do such things as 720 spins on one leg of the stools we were provided with to 'sit on' at school.
ReplyDeleteWho held the record for back hops on the stools? I think it was Dazza 'kewl' Newell? I stopped counting at 620...
Just picture it, dyed David Sylvian wedge haircut, big blue adidas sports bag, magnum 200g Yorkie bars and 360 front spins on a stool, fuckin awesome...
ReplyDeleteS.
Black Adder! ha! Oh how it all comes flooding back!
ReplyDelete...& that would be x20 (stolen) 200grm magnum Yorkie bars! ;-) way to go BK!!
