Which parts do you go through the most?
Pedals, grips and seats.

Describe your bike setup and how you like your bike to feel…
It’s just a normal set up 2 pegs, no brakes, Low geometry. I like my bike to feel solid and not make any noise.

Do you remember your first “real” BMX bike?
I don’t know if there considered “real.” The first bike I ever bought myself was a Dyno Compe in grade school. I learned to do feeble grinds on a Dyno Nitro a little while after. And it was all over from there.

Which kind of Loteks do you like to ride in and why?
I go back and fourth between Coastals and the original Nightwolves, but mostly the Nightwolves. I like to have a little extra padding and the way the sole grips the pedals.

Is your seat a custom job or a prototype?
I cut my black jeans and used it to cover the seat.
