Q&A

WHAT SHOE DO YOU RIDE?

I like to ride with the Sk8 Hi´s, they protect your ankle, they feel great!

WHAT SHOE DO YOU CHILL IN?

I love the slip-on.

WHAT’S YOUR BIKE SET-UP?

My bike set-up is pretty normal, clean looking bike that doesn’t make weird noises, no freecoaster and I’m addicted to a normal size bar,  nothing ridiculous like kids ride nowadays.

WHAT IS THE BEST TRIP YOU’VE EVER BEEN ON?

The best trip I’ve been on so far was the Vans Trip in Oregon, I went to a couple of good trips in the last years, but this one was special, friends, bowls, bbq, camping.

WHAT IS THE BEST STORY YOU’VE EVER HEARD OR BEEN TOLD?

The best story was when US customs told me that it wasn’t me on my passport picture when I was trying to get in the US.

FAVORITE VANS RIDER?

For Europe I would say Sergio Layos and for the US Gary Young.

WHAT TRICK CAN’T YOU DO THAT YOU WISH YOU COULD?

Tail whip, I can once in a while but for some reason not all the time.

WHAT’S THE WORST THING THAT’S EVER HAPPENED TO YOU?

Breaking my foot was the worst that happened to me and luckily it wasn’t that bad.

WHAT ARE SOME INTERESTS OUTSIDE OF BMX?

I like to ride my motorcycle and working on it, building all type of stuff, swimming, walking outside, etc...

LAST GOOD BOOK YOU READ OR MAGAZINE YOU LOOKED AT?

The last thing I started to read was a book about the humans, “Sapiens” but I haven’t finish it yet.

FIVE SONGS THAT HAVE TO BE ON A PLAYLIST?

I’m listening to too many different types of music that it’s hard to find a few that I would like more than others, it also depends on the mood but rock’n roll from the 70’s /80’s...you can’t go wrong with it.

FIVE ESSENTIALS FOR ANY ROAD TRIP?

First my passport/wallet, in second my toothbrush, in third my clothes/shoes, in fourth my bike and in fifth my phone. This is definitely the essentials for a road trip or something would be missing!!!
