Name: Rob Harrison
Age: 35
Hometown: I'm between home towns right now.
Hook-ups/Sponsors: I'm pretty sure if I asked then wethepeople would still have my back. Carhartt-Europe still sort me out and Proper also offered to help. Eastpak and Vans were often supportive to the WTP office in general, worth a mention I reckon. Now I am just doing more of my own thing I'm not really in touch with that side of things. There are far more deserving people out there, I'm just happy to have met some decent folks.

The favorite list:

-Spot to ride: Where no one else wants to
-BMX video: Easy, Grounded (2007), before and after that parts were good, a few videos were good... but none broke as much ground as this one. Or Dorkin 4 if we go back a 'bit' further and ignore the tech.

-Website: www.wethepeople.de
-Web video: Anything they put on here: www.treesixty.com
-Food: Pancakes, fish and chips, fried asparagus
-Travel destination: Madrid
-Riders to ride with: To be honest I am not riding with anyone at the moment. But during my time anyone I chose to be on a wtp trip was there for the same reason, so those guys.

-Car: 1967 Jaguar XKE Series 1 Roadster (Anything British and pre '72)
-Movie: hell drivers(1957), or anything with Steve McQueen
-Colour: Brown
-Shoes: New Balance, made in England
-Bike company: If it's about the riders it's on the list.
-BMX contest: Rebel Jam, If you took 'contest' off the question I would have put the Revolt jam number 2 (or number 1 but I wasn't there).

-Bike shop: 'Peoples' cause that is where I first saw different thinking about what a bmx shop could be. Ha but I also had a great love-hate relationship with Janosch's bmx shop. Esp. when he lost my damn house keys (yes you'd put them in the bin Janosch).
-Restaurant chain: If it has to be a chain then it's gonna be Wagamama
-Clothing company: Carhartt, Howies(before they got bought out by Burton) or Oxfam
-Phone: anything costing less than 20 quid, although I admit that the iphone changed everything.
-Music: I saw Doll and the Kicks last, they were good.

-$$$$ rider: Garrett Burns, just a rider with no stupid baggage. If I got to go with 'ramp' then.... Osato and Heaton cause those guys are just sound.
-Street rider: You know what, I am gonna pick two guys who might not be the best in the world, but the first moment I saw & talked to them... I wanted them to be part of wethepeople cause they just got that 'something' and I think any rider could relate to them: Andrew Jackson and Bjoern Elvering.
-Dirt rider: Alex Dropsy
-Flatland rider: Paul Osicka
-Old school rider: Greg Guillotte( might pls Bart cause he spent some time in Holland I think), and later Moliterno and Schmidt were it for me.

-Drink: I got a recent one, Guiness mixed with Champagne. Used to be cheap brandy... or Gin or Tequilla.
-Trick: Can't take anything away from a manual, simple yet effective
-BMX Magazine: The secret spot issue of DIG (appropriately Tag on the cover) and with THAT G.Burns photo spread.
-BMX MC: To fill this slot you got to know the riders and know your switch from your regular... I think there are only two out there doing that. Tunney should get into it!

-Video game: Wouldn't know where to start, never played one.
-BMX photographer: There is no way I am going to nail this down to one. I am real strict and real passionate about photos, and the photographers behind them. To select just one does not give me any pleasure.
-Sport besides BMX: went out with the canoe and David Lombard few weeks back... best thing I have done in a while. Was like being in the Amazon.

-Party: What you want just one party?...... Ah I know, Moscow with Harry and Klaus... yep that was the one. I loved that 'cause it also was random, Harry fell asleep and some gangster Ukrainian guy told me he could protect us with killers in the Ukraine and gave me his New ERA. In fact any time with those two... in fact I often had more fun on the way to the party with the guys than actually arriving. I'm sure there was some good ones with Chester, Ash, Bjoern or Timo in times past. Ahhh I got another one... the beach party in Warsaw!! with Stephen Lilly and Timo... got us into a free bar, think I buried my coat and got carried away till it was chucking out time. I´m laughing now cause I am remembering a few, best leave it there.
