Company: Wethepeople bike co, éclat
Interbike booth number: 5369

-Have you decided to be part of the BMX zone this year and why? Always have always will.

-What new products are you bringing to Las Vegas that people need to check out? Most excited about the Sleepless and A2B frames from Chester and Ashley Charles and Max's new Bars.

Full new set of completes.... And the entire eclat range might interest some.

-Any special activities going on at the booth during the show? Products speak for themselves.

-How many people are going to help out in your booth during the show? Some of the team are going to be there, and then three of us over from Germany and Brian Tunney is coming over from New Jersey.

-Are you actually taking orders at the show or is it more to show products to the dealers and get contacts? Purely going to be a show, but the guys from System will also be there and I'm sure they'd be only too happy to help there.

-Are any of your riders coming to Interbike? Chester Blacksmith, Ashley Charles, Andrew Jackson, and Sean Burns.

-Would you think a contest at Interbike would be a good idea since loads of people (industry/riders/media) are there already? I think it would be good to encourage more riders to gather at the show, give the event an even wider appeal, another angle on things and bmx could easy become the event focus which would be good... But I'm not sure I can see riders actually going to ride and for the industry there is often more than enough to handle without anything more going on. I liked the Vans comp a few years ago. It was at the weekend after the show. This was cool! you could even drink beer at this contest. Possible all over the world, in the states only in Vegas (I think...)

-What party are you looking forward to? Last year we took it low. This year we have some more people to help us out, so we can do some "nightshifts" again. Getting business secrets out of drunk people and so on... Nora Cup is cool: Girls dress like it's for the oscars.

-What would make the 2008 edition of Interbike a success for you? Getting the booth up like we planned to. We got some ideas which might not work out if the stuff comes too late.
