3) Tell us about your initiation in BMX and what it means to you today

I started riding dirt jumps I found in my local park, I didn't know what bmx was I just tried to make as many shapes as possible. As time passed I found more jumps and travelled to them. Street was what I rode whilst waiting for trains until I realised it was what I really loved. Now it's all I care about!

4) How would you define your style? Would you say something particularly carved it, like friends, hometown, age?

I think my hometown helped carve it as there's lots and lots of street, it has one of the biggest street scenes in the UK. But I was also heavily influenced by Don't Quit Your Day Job , Base Brooklyn and all the NYC/New Jersey riders

The ability to do anything you can imagine

12) What is your opinion about 165mm cranks? And the new version of the classic FIT FAF tires?

I love the 165s they help you spin faster and give me more peg clearance with my short back end. The new FAFs with the reflective strip are also real sweet as they look sweet and help cars see you in the dark!
