Trying to do some mini interviews, today we got Flash and Abe, hopefully in a few days Robbo and Camby, same questions for everyone. Finally got the Dig trail issue, definitely worth a read, I guess that's what inspired these interviews, something to read during the winter ok go..

What inspires you to still dig trails when usually most trails end up being plowed or just abandoned?

Hanging out with the men, shirtless days, making odd stuff, good times, flash stories, getting things done. hitting new jumps for first time

Most people ride street these days and dont have a clue about trails since they purchased a brand new bike without brakes. If you could get someone to ride trails by explaining it to them what would you say to convince them to put some brakes on and try riding some trails?

i cant convince anyone

What kind of shovel is your favorite?

home depot gray

What is your favorite trick?

leegums-ing

Describe an ideal day at the trails?

wake up around ten, eat, pantry one for drink maybe some scratchys. see edgar drunk from last night still puking. sunshine and low humidity

Whats your favorite leegums moment in the woods?

last spring when we bought him a bottle of vodka in the afternoon and made him drink the whole thing in an hour.
then when he was standing in the wheelbarrow telling people to bury him

The people. I have never met so many different types of awesome people before in my life. The feeling of just flowing through jumps is like nothing else. And the fact that I can wake up every morning and know that I have a spot to ride all day that I won’t get kicked out of by the cops.

Everything you do down 20 stairs you can do over every jump at the trails without blowing your knees and ankles and wrists out. You here about this kid killing it on street and then you see him sending himself down shit and then a year later he can’t even riding a bike anymore. I think its just stupid. Put brakes on and if you don’t want to use them take your finger off.

What kind of shovel is your favorite?

Flat. You can move 20 tons of dirt in no time.

What is your favorite trick?

No footers and 1 footed tables.

Describe an ideal day at the trails?

Get down there early, do some digging and dialing in. Sort out what ever needs sorted out. Then as all the out of towners start showing up, show them around and have some laughs. Then start riding. Get some lunch around 1. Come back and start yelling at people for sitting around haha. Ride till the sun goes down laughing the whole way there doing as many no footers as possible.
