from Detroit to State College? Brandon: It's amazing! I decided to move to State College when Anthony Napolitan told me to move in with him and ride all the time. It's awesome because we can ride Woodward with a solid crew at anytime we please… and then shred the local trails. It's dialed!
Does it seem any different riding at Woodward every day rather than just a few times a year? Who do you normally ride with most?
Brandon: Yes and no. I still get that feeling of being a 15 yr old surrounded by amazing ramps. I ride with t
he whole Woodward crew. Anyone who is shredding, I'm down to ride with. I Mainly ride with the Napolitan's, Seth, Zack Warden, Vinny, Jeremiah Smith and Scotty G. Tell me about what you did in your “off” season? I can’t really say you had an “off” time because you’ve continued your winning streak at contests abroad but what were some of the things you have done in the past few months?
Brandon: I have just been riding and traveling as much as possible, sometimes I ride moto when I can..
All the riders in Dirt are amazing riders but what kind of new tricks do you expect to see this year in dirt? Do you have any new surprises? Brandon: You are correct, all the dirt riders are amazing. It's hard to predict anything that goes down, but that's the fun part because everyone will just have to wait and see....
What was the single best trick you’ve done in the last year…the kind of thing that even made you think, “holy shit, did I just land that?”
Brandon: Recently did a gap in lot 8 that I have been sweating. I get more pumped on big lines than any tricks I learn.
Since there is no denying 2010 was a spectacular year for you, did you do anything unusual or splurge on anything from your winnings?
Brandon: Not really, I just rode a ton of motocross and raced a few times. Nothing too crazy. Haha motocross is the most wild shit to do!
What do you miss most about leaving Detroit? Brandon: Kid Rock
What are your thoughts about the changes being made to the Dew Tour this year?
Brandon: I'm into it. Dew tour always does a great job.
Besides riding, have you been spending a lot of time doing anything else?
Brandon: Not really, I have just been riding everyday!
Best of luck Brandon for 2011 and if you haven’t had a chance to see Brandon ride in person, you are missing out!
