Which parts do you go through the most?
Probably grips and pedals.

Describe your bike setup and how you like your bike to feel…
Well, most bikes feel like a party, which is a great start. But as far as specifics…? I’d say I like my bars a lil’ high and a lil’ forward. I like having some weight to my bike. Big tires are good for jumping grandparents. Um, I don’t know. Of course, keeping shit solid is nice.

What part are you most particular about or do you feel makes the biggest difference on
your bike?

Back wheel and how far up or back it is on the bike compared to how long or short the back is.

Do you remember your first “real” BMX bike?
Haha, yeah at 12 years old I rode a Hoffman 16″, but when I decided to step up and feel my passion puke in my face, then it was a Dirtmaster with absolutely no headset. Wallrides were noisy.
