How long have you been riding for? 7 years

Where do you mostly ride? Well I use to ride dirt jumps a lot .. but basically I’d have to say the parks and streets now.

What’s the riding scene like there, compared to here in Canada?. Well, I think the only difference is that in Canada the sport is older and people have more knowledge about it and having more riders compared to here but in Colombia the bmx level is growing really fast that now it is not very far of. We have some pros here and some of them have won international contests. We have a lot of people now riding which is really cool.

When do you plan on coming back to Canada? I’m coming in June to ride this summer cause last time I was there I had a really good time.... the people, the spots to ride..Everything was awesome. I’m planning to live there with my girlfriend.

Is there a lot of street to ride? Not us much as you guys but yeahh we have some really good spots to ride like i said the sport is new here so a lot of new places are increasing

What’s the craziest thing you've seen happen in Colombia?. Ok I think the weather.lol

Any last words or Thanks? Of Course. Ill have to say thanks to you guys for giving me the opportunity to make this interview and to talk a bit about Colombian ride. Hope I can see everyone riding again, cause my first time was just perfect… im really exited to be there again ,i just want to say that i just have a lot back there. .that I just need to see again the things that make me feel happy and alive.

1.When did you deside you wanted to make a full lenth video?
Every year we talk about how we could have done a full length, if we just saved up our footage instead of doing web videos...So like, last spring a few of us went to Montreal, I had a few things filmed and I just figured I may as well, haha. Everyone helped out, Bobby and Daggo, Aussie sending clips helped actually make it happen and surprisingly we've got a video now.

2.How long have you did you film for it?There's a few older clips, like the oldest ones are about a year old, but most of the filming happened in the last four months before it came out.I started coming up to NF every weekend, getting a few more people to do some full sections and stuff like that.

Andrew White, Jake, Ryen, Shawn Swain, Gobbo hopefully... Lots of the same dudes too. It's gonna be daaaa bomb.

10.Any thanks or last words?
Thanks to the rents for sure, they supported the vid a ton... Thanks to everyone that filmed for it, everyone that gave me clips, helped meput it together, and watched it.

How did you get hooked up with the job at Checker? And how do you like it?

-One day I was out riding my mountain bike and busted a bunch of spokes…so I stopped in at Checker Bike Company and asked the owner, who I had become acquaintances with if he was looking for anyone to help him out. A year later after a guy quit the shop he asked me if I would come work with him….that was 4 years ago, and I have to say, I have enjoyed every day that I have had worked there. I really admire and appreciate the guys that come to our shop…Niagara has a very dedicated group of BMX riders.

Is it True, Checker is the largest bmx shop in Canada?

-I am not completely sure if it is…but I know that Transition BMX in Edmonton was bragging that they were the Largest because they had $60,000 worth of bmx parts and bikes, but I know we have a lot more than that….
