FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

into Flatland thanks to all my bmx mates over there. Also I have to say thank you to Primo for supporting me with all my parts on my bike, without their help I wouldn't have progressed so quickly.

Do you ride with others or is it mainly you working on your own tricks?
Jacqueline: In Australia I mostly ride alone due to being the only flatlander on the Gold Coast. I ride with Shane Badman when I get the chance and have ridden with a few Brisbane and Melbourne Riders. I love riding alone and listening to music, but once it comes to learning something new it really helps to have someone there to help me out and give me advice, then I like to be alone to practice as it takes weeks sometimes to get the hang of a certain trick and I seem to ride better when I'm alone

Is it a relief for you from working in the music studio?
Jacqueline: Yes 100% it's a relief from almost everything that has been a struggle for me, mentally and it's an amazing work out, I don't need to go to the gym as the last few months of riding has completely transformed my body. I love it. I have a very strong connection with Flatland for personal reasons, starting out helped me at a time where I really needed a distraction.

How many gigs do you do?
Jacqueline: I haven't been doing many lately as all my time has been in the studio in Madrid working on new music. Next year will be a big year of gigs for me. It's a long process and I spend a lot of time writing music for myself and other artists.

Does your bike come along for the shows?
Jacqueline: It hasn't so far but it will be in my new video and will come on stage with me from now onwards! I'm working on a trick that I can sing and hold a mic at the same time.. haha Will try it out at the next Music festival I do as they have the biggest stages and plenty of room..

In what way do you follow the BMX scene?
Jacqueline: 100% through my friends, they have been super supportive and if it wasn't for people like Sergio Layos, Fernando Bayona, Viki Gomez and all the other Madrid Riders I wouldn't have ever got into Flatlanding. I also stay updated by TCU, Watching my friends' edits etc.

Have you ever performed at a BMX event?
Jacqueline: No, I'm not at the level to perform yet, I don't think I will ever be interested in competition because I just wanna ride for myself because I enjoy it. But you never know what can happen in the future! I've been riding very hard almost every single day..

Where can people check out your work?
Jacqueline: facebook.com/jacquelinenix
youtube.com/jacquelinenix
youtube.com/jacquelinenixbmx (My video blog since I started learning)

Which trick do you want to learn?
Jacqueline: Anything that I think is too hard and that I could never do.

If you had a choice, who did you want to personally teach you that trick?
Jacqueline: I would love to meet Dennis McCoy and get some lessons from him! He's one of my favourite Old School riders..

Last words?
Jacqueline: Ride bmx for fun!
