what got you into bmx?
Watching the X-games when I was little, I remember being sooo siked on watching the dirt, so a couple of friends and I went out and made trails in the woods, I never even touched a skatepark the first year.
why does everyone call you New Smyrna Chris?
Honestly I really have no clue because I lived in Edgewater, FL for 18 years before people started calling me that. I actually just recently moved to new smyrna within the last year or so, haha.

what is a thunder punch?

what comments could you make on the state of bmx right now?
Too many hipsters and kids following the trends, but other than that shit is really sweet.

I love it. I try to ride everyday, when my back isnt killin me. I dont know what id be if i didnt ride. Prolly play football or some other funboy sport.

Youre my boi and anything that you do I want to support and be apart. Plus youve got a lot of sweet ideas that I think a lot of people are going to be siked on.
whats up with the team? who, on the team, do you know?
Everyone. Ive known Bryce for like 6 years, same with Ryan Herbach, and practically lived on Bill Mims couch for awhile. We all get along real good, I think its going to be like a family. Trips should be awesome.
