Biz was out with a knee surgery for a long time, how did you deal with the down time?
Biz: Ah now that I look back on it I don't know, I guess a lot of TV and that's about it, oh wait I guess I worked out an did therapy an stuff.
How does the knee feel now and what do you do to protect it?
Biz: It feels real good, my doctor did Travis Pastrana's an Jamie Thomas' knee and a bunch of other crazy dudes so I knew I was in good hands. I just wear a CTI brace an try not to land on it, I guess that's all you can do.
It was good seeing you back in the magazines in the last few months. Was it hard to get back into it or did you start with tricks like Surfers first?
Kym Grosser filmed the following "9" with Zach Shaw's camera over in New Zealand. Look how smooth that landing is.

If you feel like racing a BMX race, make yourself to the Joel Smets BMX track in Dessel, Belgium on 19 March. The BMX race is open for licenced riders from the KBWB (Belgium) and the KNWU (Netherlands) but also there is a class for those who do not have a license and whould like to enter a BMX race. There are several prizes to be won but most of all the race is about having a good time.
Thrilling Pop! Session contest in Tallinn, Estonia
The 6th BMX and skateboarding competition Pop! Session 2006: Winter Bash was held on 6th - 8th of January 2006 at the Saku Arena. Pop! Session weekend contained much more than the contest - three full days of BMX and skateboard at its best. Besides parties, there were also four movie premiers in the cinemas of Tallinn. Bigger skatepark than ever was accompanied by professional live broadcast on big screen which this year was also broadcasted entirely live in internet. So besides 12.000 spectators in Saku Arena people around the globe were watching the event.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
