What was the moment where you decided to leave Australia and move to the USA?
Andy:Well there was never a moment, so to speak... I just went to Woodward as a camper in 2007 and from that I got myself the opportunity to go back for the whole summer. After that I had made my mind up that it was what I wanted to do for as long as I could continue doing it.

How long did you stay the first time you went?
Andy: I just stayed for 2 weeks as a camper at Woodward camp.

Australian riders had paved the way already going to the USA to become a pro BMX-er. Who did you look up to when you grew up?

We caught up with James Weston of Savakas and asked him a few questions on the Savakas clothing status. Here's what he responded.

Once you pass the Sticker/T-shirt phase of a clothing company, things are getting more complicated. Can you explain what it takes to make flannels, shorts and other items other than having a few T-shirts printed?
Savakas: Yes it does get more complicated, and it will get far

It was another hot and humid summer day at the Vans Warped Tour in Indianapolis. As the state rep. for the skate contest, I spent the first part of the day running around and getting things accomplished for the skate comp. Once all my duties had been performed and the skate contest was over with, it rained for a short period of time, then the sun came back out. The humidity was kicked up a notch and sweat was rolling down my face. It was hot and humid, like every year at the local stop for the tour, the only way for me to be any

Andy Buckworth was on a roll earlier this year having fun touring with the Nitro Circus, getting invites to the Dew Tour and X-Games but then he had a bad crash and will be sidelined for a few months. Time for an interview to see what happened and how he's doing.

First of all, how is the recovery going?
Andy: Well it's going alright, I'm getting stronger every day. The hardest thing is finding things to keep myself busy with. I'm so used to riding my bike every day that, now I'm not allowed, I'm going crazy.

What exactly happened?
