What was the worst track you had to ride in 2014 in your opinion? Kurt: As far as a race track.. would have to be Berlin. Fun to play on, not so much for racing though. Nobody likes hitting steep wooden kickers on small jumps.. seen and done a lot of stiff leg over shoots.
Who did the raddest move on the track in 2014?
Kurt: Hmm Sam passing Twan on his home track down the rhythm straight at the World Cup was legit.
Which rider did the nastiest move in 2014?
Kurt: Seen a lot of those moves on these scary indoor tracks lately. Damien's move on Liam at the Worlds was a bit rude?
Who had the best looking bike on the track this year?
Kurt: The Haro team of course
Who's bike looked like a piece of crap? Kurt: Haha I dunno… I'll leave that one for the haters.
Which jump in particular did you like to hit this year?
Kurt: The booter out of the first turn at Manchester.. scared me every time though.
What jump was sketchy?
Kurt: Berlin track haha.. I mean did you see that 2nd jump?
Who's the best jumper out there?
Kurt: Big Corby
Who is the stiffest jumper on the circuit? Kurt: There's some stiff ones out there, but I won't sell out anyone I'm not friends with. I'm sure Trent Jones, Willers, Long and myself would make a pretty stock standard race to watch haha.
Who's got serious bike control skills? Kurt: Anyone in Europe, their tracks breed skills
Who's got just power and little bike handling skills?
Kurt: Sounds like me. I got enough to get around the track though.
What race this year had the best facilities?
Kurt: Manchester.. how lucky!
Who do you think will win the overall UCI BMX SX World Cup?
Kurt: Maris. Not sure about the girls
