good time.

What was the worst track you had to ride in 2014 in your opinion?
Nic Long: Papendal was terrible, racing in those conditions this year was gnarly. The track with the awful cross over jump into an uphill-flat 90° turn is the worst track design ever. The original Papendal track, with the berm jump and box jump was awesome!Who did the raddest move on the track in 2014?
Nic Long: Best move I think, has to go to Sam. Which one idk, but just watching him race with so much determination to win is unmatched. His Papendal move was fearless as well as his move for the World Title.
Which rider did the nastiest move in 2014?
Nic Long: Dumbest move would be Yoshi in Berlin in our quarter. I was winning, after a huge rain delay, he came in on fire with a low low to face slide. Taking out the whole quarter and ultimately not qualifying... However worst move was Damian Godet's at the Worlds on Liam. Was unsportsmanlike in my opinion.
Who had the best looking bike on the track this year?
Nic Long: All of Liam's bikes are always in top shape and really well taken care of... But I'm pretty bias towards the Haro Carbon. So any one of the Haro Carbons that lead motos or finals look the best to me.Who's bike looked like a piece of crap?
Nic Long: I think the Phoenix frames look terrible, but honestly all our bikes look awful when we have the massive cool down posts in.
Which jump in particular did you like to hit this year?
Nic Long: I was a huge fan of the first jump in Berlin. Was consistent and fast.

What jump was sketchy?
Nic Long: The step up table jump into turn one at Berlin had a bad design.

Who's the best jumper out there?
Nic Long: Barry Nobles, hands down.

Who is the stiffest jumper on the circuit?
Nic Long: I'm always in contention for that title, but Herm had some decent showings this year with sketchiness as well as Willers.

Who's got serious bike control skills?
Nic Long: Corben, Connor, Sam and Rezende.

Who's got just power and little bike handling skills?
Nic Long: Again, myself.... The Don is scary being behind sometimes on the track, as well as just some of the young kids.

What race this year had the best facilities?
Nic Long: Manchester is unmatched

Who do you think should will win the overall UCI BMX SX World Cup? (Men/women)
Nic Long: I think Liam shouldn't have a problem, and in women I'd say Mariana or Brooke because she's ridden Chula for countless hours.

Thanks to?
Nic Long: My sponsors for their continuous support, my dad for all his help and my friends that keep more motivated to ride and progress on my bike.
