Modifications/Other/Extras: Took the clear coat off my frame, spray painted both wheels flat black, cut seat post and back axle.

Which parts do you go through the most?
Pedals and Grips.

Describe your bike setup and how you like your bike to feel…
Big bars, long frame, no brakes or pegs, slammed seat, tight chain, and rock hard tires haha.

What part are you most particular about or do you feel makes the biggest difference on your bike?
Ummm, not sure probably air pressure in my tires and bars set.

Do you remember your first “real” BMX bike?
I was too young to remember, hahaha.

What’s up with your gearing?
I run a 30/9 gear ratio. Some people say it’s too hard to pedal but I like it.

Why the mismatched barends?
One day me and Rickey Bates were at shadow and we both wanted a set of plugs for our bars but the deal was that there was a white pair and a black pair. Well, we both wanted the black pair so instead of only one of us getting our way we both just split the two and took one of each color, haha.

How did you chip your teeth?
When I was out in California recently for the Nike HB contest I was riding the red park in Laguna (If you’ve been there you know it’s real slick…) and all I was doing was carving at a slow speed then I slipped out and hit my face, almost knocking me out. I ended up with three broken teeth, messed up face, and seeing stars. Hahaha, awesome.

Back in May of this year we shot photos of Trey’s bike but they never ran on the site. We were trying to sync it up with a video bike check that Shadow had in the works, but time went by, Trey got a new setup, and this bike never made it to the Web…until now. So below is the rig that Trey was on during Shadow’s Flow Team Trip in Florida a few months ago.
