Are you living the BMX pro lifestyle at the moment or do you have a job back home?

After winning the German miniramp championship in Berlin, your season was pretty much over. What happened?

- I have to say that the image of you is quite crazy, isn't it? Is the real you as lively and passionate as the image of you, or is it just a stage-image, which has little to do with the real you?
Catfish: I would have to say..what you see is what you get. I have always been a bit of an eccentric and extroverted person, even before I found BMX. I think that is one of the aspects that I love about BMX..there are so many wild characters! Sometimes I wish I could turn my "Catfish" persona off, but BMX won't let me. Alas..I am crazy 99% of the time.

- It is your third time to be in Estonia. But how did all start - from where did you hear about Estonia and Simple Session and why did you decide to participate in this event?
Catfish: I remember hearing about an event in a country that I wasn't familiar with called "Pop Session" I had seen some pictures of it and it looked awesome. 3 years ago I saw the Simpel Session website and figured I would send them an e-mail asking about hosting

You almost had a clean sweep in park at the 2008 Dew Tour series. What happened at the last stop?
Daniel: Well everything was going according to plan but I landed a little funny on the quarter before my second trick and my foot slid so i wasn't able to get the speed to jump that box again, I still did all the tricks I wanted to do but that pedal cost me the clean sweep. Talking with Bestwick we have agreed that there's some sort of bad luck when you try to win all 5, it has happened to him twice and me once and with the level of riding this days is definitely gonna be even harder in the years to come.
