Kelly Bolton q&a ***NOT ACTIVE***

Hey i was wondering, do you remember the first poster you put on your wall of a bmxer?

hey kelly i was wonderin what is it like to be a complete ripper on a bike? and whats your favorite trick? and also who do you look up to?

How is it like to be sponsored by Staff-bmx? What do you get? Do you ride the incline club at all?

Also, what is your favorite bmx forum?
Vital, TCU, BMX Forum?

What was the feeling you got when you felt you were finally good enough to get sponsors? Did you brag about it to people who don't bmx (I know I would) How does it feel to tell family members that you ride bikes for a living? Whats your day by day inspiration to try new things?

Did you try and become sponsered or did it just happen?? if u tried wat was the hardest part of tring to become sponsered?

how do you feel about me being the kid in the green shirt on top of the subox in the sequence of you doing the fakie to frontflip?

When you come off of a serious injury (I.e: when you broke your shoulder)
Do you come back, harder, better, faster, stronger? Always?

If somthing crazy happen, like a stupid law was past saying that...
"Kelly Bolton is no longer alowed to ride BMX bikes, he may only ride fixed gears!"
What would you want to be known as in the BMX community?
And would you break the law and still ride?

Keep Killin it!!

hey kelly, how do you feel towards all the noobs hating on eastern?

Hey Kelly. What made you first want to take up BMX? and is there any stand out moments in your career that you always remember?

Thanks.

Haha well I have yet to reach my own standards as a ripper but thanks for the compliment. My favorite trick has to be Tabletops or flairs... i still cant decide which feel better. I look up to a lot of people... there are so many good riders... Van Homan will be forever looked up to but lately its been MIrra... he is nuts.

Staff is an awesome company full of awesome people. Being a west coast guy i didnt expect them to hook it up but they were pumped. I usually just get parts and nic nacs. I have ridden incline club but i need to go more. Incline club is sick.

I kinda just fell into having my first sponsor. I was the lucky end of someone unfortunately getting hurt and there was Eastern backin me up. A lot of people are sponsor worthy... to be "good" enough doesnt exsist in our sport. Its just how you get out there and turn peoples heads. I dont brag.. I try to stay modest and not get over my head. Sometimes I wonder why im sponsored haha there are sooo many good riders. My family is real supportive. They do all the bragging for me haha. New things come into my head every second. People just laugh at my ideas but once and a while they work. I push to find what nobody has done before.

I was fortunate enough to fall into a lucky situation with all my sponsors... and now i just rep them all day everyday. Trying is hard.. just be a cool chill dude and somethin will happen.

When i get hurt I sit around and my mind just goes crazy with tricks and different stuff. I come back with goals and a new passion to ride for sure. Wow thats a good question... I would want the bmx community to just remember that I chilled, I rode, and I tried to push the barrier of what is possible. Lastly I dont give a F*** about the law.

Thanks.

My dad and I rode motocross and I actually wanted to race supercross but we were poor and didnt have the money for motocross. My dad made me launch ramps and taught me how to bunnyhop and wheelie at around age 7... then i was hooked.
