months..and I've been having trouble just wearing my Vans. Untill a week ago I was fine again.. Than Risto came trough with putting me on the riders list last minute.. so yeah it's been a nice rush.. I know as soon as I take the shuttle to the arena... I will feel it again.. the Simple Session feeling haha..there's no such thing Actually we are very busy right now for my premiere party of my movie of last year.. next saturday is going to have free Jameson and a sick Boycott party in Amsterdam, and then soon on markvosbmx.nl How many times have you been before?
3 times? or was it 4?
Does your bike have some new sponsor stickers for 2011 that you want to show off in Tallinn? Yeah I signed at Agency -RT it's that raw skull logo you will see soon everywhere. My ladies are doing great things for me AND I wish I had a Case bmx mag sticker... cause my interview just got printed, can't wait to see it.. and by the way.. Coffee companies hook me up.. ;)
What was your first impression when you saw the 3D drawings of the Simpel Session course for 2011?
Impression is a good word on its own.. I mean it's obvious to all the world Simple Session /Risto done an amazing job getting all the bmx world to Talinn.. It's going to be huge, sick and unseen anywhere like. Great atmosphere madness with all the riders.. it's gonna go downn... I hope the wallrides are how I expect them ahha
When are you getting there?
3rd
Are you spending some extra time in Tallinn? and if so, what have you planned on doing besides riding the contest?
Since Nathan and Justin at Wearelevel are superbusy. Am going to be doing some sales for WeAreLevel, Speak to some people.. get some email adresses... eat at the Va piano's.. what else is there;)
Who are you looking forward to see at the event? Pff....my homeboys that I've seen on other places on the world and that will all be there.. Riding wise damn... I might as well copy paste the riders list... Am looking forward to represent with Daniel Wedemeijer for Holland..but the T1 ramp locals.. want to see them too... and as every year I save a sigarette for Bas Keeps runs.. Tommy Dugan, Sean Sexton,Ty Morrow, Bruno pff Lacey's last year best trick. All the Uk boys, (bigup to Sam Ward). I mean shit is defenitely going down, this question is just not to be answered. Lets just wait for either the live stream or the video's.. or see you on the deck
Who do you think will make a podium spot for sure?
That's your business. The judging... it must be impossible to judge... good luck on that one.. I would split the price money in 5 euro bills and have it come down from the roof in the last club haha... This by the way reminds me of Allan Cooke... who once p
ut 5 grand down at the bar...haha NOTORIOUS!! uhm impossible question. Will you be nervous when you drop in for your run in front of a few thousand screaming girls?
Not really the girls that would make me nervous... rather the Simple Session atmosphere that has pushed me into seeing the hospital every visit. haha nah man. I mean what I do in my life is not perfecting contest runs,. But the vibe will feed me and lets see where it takes me. AM healthy fresh excited.. and will be rocking fresh Wearelevel clothes.. fresh Pull-in boxers.. Niels from Simple is bringing some fresh parts...All a man needs is a proper shower and some food..and simple go full trottle..and that's what I like.
Are you ready for the after-parties?
No, am about to eat fresh salmon with rocket salade and freshly baked bread..... haha does the pope shit in the woods?
If the right obstacle is there, what trick are you going to try for the first time in a contest?
Am hoping to go fast.. to enjoy a lot... to smile a lot... and survive ;) share bmx life with my brothers!
