    Jamie,

    I know you're a big proponent of 9 foot "starter" vert ramps. Do you think the resurgence of concrete bowls will serve a similar purpose, given rise to a new school Fiola, Dominguez or Bestwick?

    Rumor has it that Mike Spinner and Daniel Dhers are going to be replacing Obama and McCain in the up-coming election. If this is true, who would you vote for, or would you just move to back to England? Also, do you think we should withdraw from the war on tailwhips?

    Hey Mr Bestwick,
    I've admired you for years and that includes your insane skills on a bmx bike and the kind of person you seem to be. With all your success and being one of the best bmx riders of all times, how do you manage to still keep that good head on your shoulders and stay humble? Good luck in the future and keep those insane skills coming.

    Jamie, you are an absolute treat to watch!

    Do you ever miss the days of the Mirra - Bestwick vert showdown? I remember when I first started riding in 2002 it was a back and forth thing between you two! Can we ever see you hitting up two events and trying out park at the Dew Tour next year?
    Keep flowing!

    Jamie you rule!

    I remember reading once that you weren't able to ride full time until you were 30. What was it like working a normal job while hitting all the contests etc over the years? How much do you think that being able to ride "full-time" has affected your riding? Did you ever get annoyed at work and use that anger to fuel your ability to boost?

    Jamie,
    I've heard many people say that they wish they could "borrow" tricks from you. For example, I wouldn't mind borrowing your massive carving 30 foot alley-oops. Is there any tricks you'd like to borrow from anyone?
