Send all questions for Gary to ryan.fudger@transworld.net.

Gary Young is a nice little fellow. He lives in a condo near the beach in San Diego, California, has a pretty little wife, and two pretty little cats. But don’t let that facade fool you, this X Games medalist in both park and dirt, ex World Champion, and NORA Cup winner has been to known to give bad directions on purpose, gouge eyes, give kids swirlees, and may have a little case of road rage. We may or may not be kidding about some of those things, but we still need your questions, so send them my way at ryan.fudger@transworld.net and put “Hey. Gary. It’s. Me.” as the subject.

Some things you should know about Gary:
He sweats Dyson vacuums.
He runs a 28/9 gearing for maximum speed and pick up wheelies.
He’s had a gun pulled on him.
He has a thing for pancakes and ice cream.
He has an Acura Integra that’s falling apart. Probably because he put like 150,000 miles or so on it.
He can’t do flairs.
He can do inverted 540 twist-things that just look weird.
He rides for The Beast and The Bad Boy.
He can’t do footjam tailwhips.
He likes hips, cradles, and pretty much any cement park.
He can ride your local cement park better than you can within the first five minutes of riding it.
He used to ride a K-Mart bike called the Monorail or something with just one giant downtube and he was psyched because can-cans were easy.
He tried to pick his bike up by his chain one time, and it rotated, catching his fingers in between his sprocket and chain and he ran around all funny bleeding and stuff.
If he grew his hair out and an awesome beard, I think he’d look a lot like Macho Man Randy Savage.
He will probably not like that I put all this stupid shit for you guys to read, but you should ask him a ton of questions either way.
Gary rides for MacNeil, Vans, Odyssey, and Protec.
