Who were the first people you came across that helped you out to find the stuff you needed?
Mickael Clerté: My old friend from TOURS, Eric Pontoizeau. This guy is one of the first French who start to collecting.

Do you feel there is a need for BMX products to survive for history's sake?

Did you get to keep all your bikes when you were part of sponsored teams?
