because of it!
Who do you think kicked ass in the Elite Men class this year?
Sarah Walker: I think the obvious answers are Niek Kimmann and Liam Phillips but definitely impressed with fellow kiwi Trent Jones stepping up this season and making his first World Cup main.
Who impressed you most in the Elite Women class?
Sarah Walker: It's been great following the battle between Mariana and Alise at most races this year. Definitely impressed with the consistency from Stefany Hernandez all year including the World Title!

What track did you like most in 2015?
Sarah Walker: Copenhagen SX track - have always wanted to jump the pro set there and had some fun jumping it with Laura and Caroline! Also finally jumped the triple at Papendal. 
And then playing with my manuals on Rock Hill and Sweden. Worlds track was fun too. I think I just really appreciated riding my bike this year!
What race had the best race conditions?
Sarah Walker: Argentina
Where was the weather horrible to race in?
Sarah Walker: Sweden World Cup
Worst crash of 2015?
Sarah Walker: Looping out 2 days before the Rock Hill World Cup.. Missed the first day of practice because I couldn't walk. Least I didn't break anything this year! Haha.
Who had the best looking bike of 2015?
Sarah Walker: I saw this really cool Avanti with white, black and purple! Haha.
Best hotel/place you stayed at in 2015?
Sarah Walker: Rock Hill because we got to do home cooked meals which was a nice change spending 3.5 months on the road!
The 2015 Afterparty award goes to?
Sarah Walker: World Champs dance floor
Worst travel experience this season?
Sarah Walker: 175 hours in planes and airports...
Best person you hung out with in 2015?
Sarah Walker: A little bit cheesy but it's the truth - it was so nice to just be back at the BMX races with everyone! 
There was some time during my recovery where I wasn't sure that I would ever get to race again so to be able to race and see everyone again was awesome. Outside of that, it's always fun to catch up with and ride with Laura Smulders!
Plans for 2016?
Sarah Walker: To be the fastest I've ever been!

Which race in 2015 turned out better than you could have hoped for?
Sarah Walker: World Champs in Zolder as it was my first big race back from breaking both arms in 6 places and a head injury at Chula 2014 and had 5 months off training!
What was your best race result in 2015?
Sarah Walker: I had no idea how I was going to go at the Worlds but I just gave it everything I had and in the time trial, I was fast enough to make the podium and get the Bronze medal! It was a massive moment for me due to the journey to get to that point and I would rate it up there with one of my highlights in my BMX career
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
