Serious about it, hmmmm? I don't think I ever really got too serious about it. It's just fun. I'm going to change your question for you, because I think I know what you wanted to ask. How about. . . How long did you ride before you fell in love with ... more »

I think BMX as a whole goes through phases. A lot of kids aren't even into BMX long enough to see them. I don't think Haro is less popular, I just think there are more BMX companies now than there has ever been. It's like I said in the last post, Haro ... more »

I think that depending on what crowd you hang out with, there will be a lot of hating on any company. Haro is sweet, if somebody doesn't think so then it's their bad. Haro has some pretty deep roots in BMX, and it's not going anywhere. There's always ... more »

What's the name of the park? I'm driving back to Cape Cod for Christmas, maybe I'll swing by then. I'm always up for a new place to shred.

I don't really know what my plan is. I'm sure I'll always ride, I can't imagine not having a bmx bike in my life. As for the real job thing, who knows? Maybe some day I'll get a real job, but not until I actually have to. BMX is too much fun, I could ... more »

Hmmmm, this is another one I go through phases with. Sometimes I'm super adamant about my bike being dialed, especially the brakes and headset. But other times I enjoy a sketchy bike that makes all kinds of noise, hahaha. Most of the time I like it dialed ... more »

Don't force it man, just let it happen. Sometimes you have to leave a trick alone for a little while and just come back to it later. If you force it, it might never work. I used to try 720s all the time and just had a horrible spin that would never work. ... more »

I hear ya on that. When I lived on Cape Cod we would always try and have trails under the powerlines, but Cape Cod is one big beach so all we had was sand. And I'm pretty sure getting people to dig will be a problem for the rest of time. Maybe I'll make ... more »

Honestly the bike riding part is exactly the same. I'd be riding just as much and the same way if I was or wasn't sponsored. Being sponsored is pretty cool, but it's definitely not the beginning and ending of bike riding.

Oh man, there's so many. I think I'm gonna have to go with a simple spine 360 on this one. though. I don't know why, but I love them. Especially when they're kinda big and nosed in good. You just get a good pump out of it, and it's the best feeling. ... more »
