Jake Seeley Q&A Nov14 - Nov18

I've noticed you switch back and forth between a freecoaster and a cassette, which are you riding now?
What do you like more, freecoaster or cassette?
What is your current favorite trick?
Any tricks you're working on?

Jake when ever your riding do you listen to your ipod? And if you do what do you listen to?
GROW A BEARD(:

My current bike set up has a cassette and I've been riding with a cassette for about 3 years now. I prefer a cassette for the simple fact that its less hassle to maintain and keep running how i want it to. I found my self constantly braking freecoasters.
My favorite trick as of now would be crank arm slides because there a new challenge for me to dial in and there and their isn't a better feeling then greasing a smooth crank slide on any grindable object.
As we speak i am currently un able to ride so the only tricks i have been working on ones are the exercises that my physical therapist has lined up for me!

I cant say that i ever ride with music but if i were to I'd probably listen to some slower sluggish Rock/Metal like Acid King, Graveyard, Pentagram, Sleep or anything of that genre.

Denver, CO is defiantly one of my favorite places i've been too. Unfortunately i wasn't able to ride my bike there but the spots seemed way to good and weather was always amazing, so hopefully ill be able to make it out there again real soon!

My sponsors are Sunday bikes, Quintin hats, OSS clothing, Coalition parts, The Garden shop and Gatorade drinks

Some of my other hobbies are filming and editing and during the winter i like to snowboard.

Filming and editing is my main hobby, check our stuff out sometime! you might be surprised.

Do you ever get tired of riding?
Favorite video part?
Craziest thing you've done to get to a spot?
If you don't mind me asking, do you know if bike companies are in need of people to edit photos/create advertisements or clothing products? Like basically designing things for them? Cause that's what I want to do for a living and I'd love to do it for a sport i love aha.

Thanks!

have you had any serious injuries? if so what ones?

do you know that you are THE peg boss?

Jake Seeley, you are the man! your OSS part was off the chain, literally blew my mind! how do you spin so fast out of awkward and tricky grinds?

what do you do while you are injured and unable to ride? injuries suck, get well soon!

How many scars do you have?

Do you pick up women with your BMX skills?

What was high school like for you with all the riding you must have been doing?

Do you have another job outside of riding, what is it, and how does you boss or coworkers feel about you success with BMX?

Thanks, It means alot to hear that. I'm stoked to here you liked my part! I'm not exactly sure but I'd have to give some credit to me being shit footed and the way I spin out of rail tricks being my natural way of spinning, if that makes sence? Haha

Hold on let me count......... I have about 15 scars that I can see right now.

Do I? no, have I? yes! Haha Although the girls that you pick up with your Bmx Skillz are not the ones you want to keep around trust me. You got to pick up the girls that don't know you even ride and are into you for you not because your good on a bike. You feel me?

Well my only other job is wotking at my local skate, snow and BMX shop. My bosses lover the fact that I ride and travel all the time so there cool with me come and go when ever I like. My bosses are super stoked for me and do everything they can to help me succeed as much as I can! Also there always blowing up my spot that I'm a pro biker to costemers trying to emarise me haha. They get quite the kick out of it. Shout outs to Bill and Matt at The Garden.

I don't know what to believe to be honest. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens!

Do you think there's actually money in bmx? Like other than parts and clothes here and there do you think you make more than let say someone working at McDonald's? If you could go back would you rather have studied harder and landed a high class job or went with the same path as now? By the way this is just general questions I have no background or anything about you ie. other job or if you were actually great in school. Sorry for the serious questions lol, I've just been wondering about that shit for awhile. Anyway's loved you're part in OSS Keep Shreddin!

I'm doing pretty well but honestly tho man you shouldn't worry about the money just the fact of being able to ride all the time travel and be part of something awesome is all that matters the money is just a bonus.
