Who do you ride with on a regular basis that are 'well known' riders?
Blake: Most of the Markit crew (Dennis Enarson, Connor Lodes, Mike Jonas, Chad Kerley, Christian Rigal) and of course the endless amout of local shredders.
Always street, or dirt and concrete parks as well?
Blake: I'll ride anything, I love street but lately a lot of park allowing my wrist to heal since street can be pretty heavy. I'm finally getting back into the street game thankfully.
Have you ever tried riding vert?
Blake: Nothing serious, but me and Mike Jonas will occasionally get into the vert ramp at Clairemont to get a good pump.
How good is your flatland?
Blake: If you count hang 5's as flatland, I can do that, but that's it haha.
D
o nose wheelies count as flatland in your opinion?
Blake: Watching Matthias Dandois' edits convince me that they definitely count in the flatland game no doubt.
Where's the 'meet up place' before a session in SD?
Blake: Meeting up at Dennis' house is always the first stop of the day, it's in the middle of everything.
Freecoaster all the way?
Blake: I'm fresh on the coaster game, took everyone a long time of convincing me but it's safe to say I'm not turning back, I love it!
When did you take your brakes off?
Blake: I officially took them off when I was like 15 or 16
Do you ever miss them?
Blake: Nope!
School or work for you?
Blake: Currently just applied for a new job now that I'm mostly healed.
Do you ever leave early so you can go ride?
Blake: I have left work early to ride, whether it was a cool boss that let me or a "Doctors appointment"
Best buddy: Connor Lodes and Dennis Enarson are the DUDES.
Best place to go out: Haven't had many experiences since I just turned 21, so I'll just say Clairemont skatepark.
Best local spot: Markit ramps!
Best trick: I like barspins
Best bike: Premium CK I just built, most dialed bike I've ever had.
Best video: Markit Zero, can't count how many times I've watched that. Dem boys kill it.
Thanks to: Anyone who supports me, Premium and FATBMX for the interview!

How's living in the SD area during the winter?
Blake: You can't beat it! Perfect everyday with maybe a week total of rain, no wonder so many pros visit during this time.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
