What are you expecting of the trip? BB: To ride some trails there, visit a crazy place, eat local food.
Being in a different part of the world together with fellow riders does that automatically mean good times?
BB: Of course but most of the time riders are always go practicing riding, go party a little, and that's it, hope some of them would like to visit.
What do you think of the drawings of the street course? BB: Looks good, lots of speed, good jump box, a good mix of street and park.
Did you work on some new tricks over the winter that you want to do at the Metro Jam?
BB: New tricks? If they have some waves on the street course yeah, I practiced this winter..... I’ll just try to not fall a lot, because riding with all those crazy dudes makes me scared and usually I crash on small tricks, and I really didn’t ride on a park course since the last Metro, that means a couple of runs, just trail riding the last couple of weeks.
Your pick for the win?
BB: Gary Young is da man. Hope he’ll surprise us like every time.

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
