The FAT FAVOURITES list:

-Favourite spot: Favourite spot would have to be the Civvy in Bebington, a library that was probably built in the 1960s/1970s, one of those buildings that was meant to look futuristic and has half become an eye sore. I grew up riding there for the last 15 years so when I get a chance to push the limit a bit there it feels real special, especially as it’s very close to home.
-Favourite video: Favourite video would have to be either Mutiny, Let’s get Mystical or the OG Mutiny BMX web video from 2008. My first proper BMX was a Mutiny so it’s a brand with special meaning to me and their old videos are so nostalgic when I believe the BMX scene was at its peak in my lifetime.
-Food: Food is going to have to be some sort of tuna butty or tuna jacket. How can you go wrong with those options man.
-Favourite rider: Favourite rider to watch over the years would be Jason Phelan, I think his personality is brilliant, always challenging himself and off somewhere on an adventure trying something new and chaotic.

-Riders to ride with: Pretty easy answer on who I wanna ride with, all the Morb, Bygon and NW crews.
-Movie: Football Factory with Cam Harrison
-Colour: Red, the colour of Liverpool.
-Shoes: Been sticking with Adidas stuff for the last few years, they make some real solid shoes. Those Puig’s were the best, apart from the laces which seemed to come with WD40 on them (they came loose that much).
-Bike company: Mostly stick by Wethepeople, after my old school Mutiny, the WTP-Reason was my first decent quality BMX back at the end of 2010/11. I’m running the Battleship from name, quality is always up there.
-Bike shop: Definitely Custom Riders, customer service is always 10/10 and the team are real sound there. Also worth mentioning Crucial in Bristol, I’ve also had good experiences using them with their customer service too.
-Restaurant chain: Defo Greggs mate, can’t beat a steak bake. Maccies ain’t it nowadays, it’s gone way too boujee.
-Clothing: Not sure really, Doomed and Etnies always produce belter kit. I also love the OG Nike 6.0 stuff but it’s jumped on the hype train, on the more expensive end of the scale now with it being so rare to find decent stuff.
-Music: Defo electronic, house and techno usually but been trying to get into a bit of liquid D'nB recently.
-Ramp rider: I’m gonna throw Anthony Watkinson out there man. When I was in Y7 he was the guy always in the Rampworx spotlights, he built the wave and step up. I know he eventually became more street but his pegless days with the gyro at rampys were endless.
-Street rider: So many to mention. Dennis Enarson for most varied rider (I know that’s not the question but he is hands down the best at everything man, it’s ridiculous). Top street dogs right now for me are along the lines of Lewis Mills (BMXTASY, if you haven’t watched it you’re missing out, unbelievable video), Randy Taylor (Rest in peace), Bengo (my main inspo on the nozzas, unbelievable rider), I’m gonna throw Pete Sawyer and Jordan Godwin in to cause why not. In terms of who I like to see on my Insta feed, Jack Miller’s killing it at the moment and he’s a real nice fella.
-Dirt rider: Not sure, probably someone like Tom Dugan or Chase Hawk.
-Flatland rider: Jony May for teaching me how to land my only ever hang 5 whiplash. He probably doesn’t even know/remember this.
-Drink: Stout, preferably Beamish
-BMX Magazine: I’ve got 2 boxes of RideUK OG mags to read through. I never had them years ago but a few friends gave them to me when clearing the gaff out. So they’ll be in a bookcase in mine when I move out.
-BMX MC: Obviously my boy Cam Harrison
-Video game: Depends on the homies I’m with, but GTA 4 or FIFA.
-BMX Photographer/filmer: No other than my boy Harvey Horne.
-Girl: Single. Any requests contact me by email.
-Sports beside BMX: Terrible at most things, I do attempt snooker and padel. And the gym.
-Party: Too right, I’m getting old though. 28 this year. So starting to feel it hahaha.
