You landed a trick yesterday that you wanted to do for a long time. What trick was it?
Tom: 360 triple downside whip!

Is that the trick that knocked you out at last year's Braaab contest?
Tom: Yes, I tried this trick last year at the Braaab bmx contest as my last trick. It was the first time I ever tried it. Straight from the foam to the jumpbox. I landed a little bit sideways and on my backwheel that's why I crashed.

At 040BMX you can take it from the foam to the resi and to the box. Was it the first time you landed it on wood?
Tom: Yes it was the first time on wood. I landed it twice on the resi.

Can you explain a little bit about the New Zealand BMX scene?
