What do you do to make BMX grow so you can sell more stuff? Thomas: TRY MY BEST TO ALWAYS HAVE SOME VIDEOS ONLINE, AT THE CHRITMAS TIME WE PUT 3 VIDEOS ONLINE AND THE FIRST WAS "CLANDé on tour" WHICH IS THE BEST ONE ON MY POINT OF VIEW....REAL BMX!
Do you believe BMX is still growing?
Thomas: IN SOME WAY YES. I MEAN THE TRICKS AND THE STYLES ARE ALWAYS BETTER BUT
IN THE BUSINESS WAY I THINK IT'S NOT GROWING ANYMORE. THE SITUATION REMINDS ME OF THE END OF THE 80'S WHEN ALL THE MAIN COMPANIES JUST QUIT....AT SOME POINT IT WAS REALLY TOO MANY COMPANIES, TOO MANY BRANDS ETC.... IT HAS TO COME DOWN SINCE THE MARKET IS SMALL ANYWAY. 
What's your opinion about mailorder companies selling to your country? Thomas: I WISH THEY WOULDN'T DO IT BUT THERE'S NOT MUCH TO DO... IT'S ALL ABOUT THE WORLD BUSINESS...YOU CAN'T SUIT THE BIG ONES AND THEY KNOW IT.
What are your top three favourite bike shops to work with in France?
Thomas: EAST PRO SHOP, BLR BIKE SHOP and LA CREMERIE.
Do you still ride a lot?
Thomas: AT LEAST ONCE IN A WEEK BUT I MOSTLY TRY TO NOT GET INJURED, LAST WEEKEND I PULLED A TAILWHIP AND I WAS HAPPY! OLD MAN RIDING.
Making a living off of BMX, can you recommend it to others to try it out?
Thomas: NOT AT ALL. LOVING BMX IS COOL BUT WORKING IN THE BMX INDUSTRY IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT...ESPECIALLY IN FRANCE! TOO MANY TAXES TOO MANY PROBLEMS A LOT OF JEALOUSY AND BLABLABLING CAN DRIVE YOU NUTS.
What's your favourite BMX event in France?
Thomas: THE PEGLESS JAM BECAUSE IT'S MINE AND WE ALWAYS TRY TO CHANGE THE CONCEPT FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS. WE WANT IT TO BE FUN AND WITH NO PRESSURE, JUST A REAL JAM LIKE BACK IN THE DAY
Do you sponsor any riders?
Thomas: YEAH A LOT. VINCENT PRIMEL, LUC LEGRAND, JEROME GAUTHIER, GUILLAUME LEGOFF, KEVIN LUPA, CLEMENT BAES, AND SOME EXTRA HELP WITH RACHID BEN ALLI, MARC DUBOIS, and JULIEN ARNAUD.
What's the big plan for 2013?
Thomas: TRY TO SURVIVE!
