that was available the workers did a great job getting it ready. But it just comes down to the fact that the arena, like last year in Auckland, was way too small for a BMX race especially the World Championships. That kind of race needs to be decided on a big wide open track. Who did the raddest move on the track in 2014?
Nyhaug: Hard to say! There are always good moves going down at a SX race
Which rider did the nastiest move in 2014?
Nyhaug: I haven't seen any nasty moves made
Who had the best looking bike on the track this year?
Nyhaug: I must say our REDLINE Carbon frames always look good on the track!
Who's bike looked like a piece of crap? Nyhaug: Hahaha, after riding in the Papendal mud I think all of our bikes looked like crap!
Which jump in particular did you like to hit this year?
Nyhaug: The triple out in the rhythm section on the Chula Vista London track. Probably the sickest line on any SX track. So fun to hit.
What jump was sketchy?
Nyhaug: The whole S turn thing in Berlin. Not a fan of racing on that type of section. It doesn't work.
Who's the best jumper out there?
Nyhaug: Corben Sharrah. Man that guy makes everything looks effortless, so talented. Unreal to watch.
Who is the stiffest jumper on the circuit?
Nyhaug: Man we all get stiff and locked out now and then! Haha
Who's got serious bike control skills? Nyhaug: Connor has awesome bike control skills. He can move it around anywhereWho's got just power and little bike handling skills?
Nyhaug: I don't think anyone has little bike handling skills nowadays. The tracks are getting more technical and gnarly every year so if you don't have skill you can't race the races. The level every year is improving huge
What race this year had the best facilities? Nyhaug: I always like Manchester, I think that facility is fantastic and the atmosphere is always great. Being indoor obviously weather isn't an issue. Santiago Del Estero as well like I said earlier was great.
Who do you think should/will win the overall UCI BMX SX World Cup? (Men/women)
Nyhaug: Honestly, after being injured for 2 of the World Cups and not being in the running for it anymore I haven't payed any attention to who's in contention. I know Liam is winning the ranking now so he has a good shot, but Im sure guys right behind him want to take it too. I'm just going to go into Chula Vista ready to race and end the season well.
Thanks to?
Nyhaug: First off my family for always being there through all the hard times and the good, my coach PH, B2Ten, Cycling Canada, Redline Bicycles, Five Gloves, Leatt.
