What is the best track you rode on in 2014? Sean Gaian: The best track of 2014 would by far be the Argentina World Cup course. It had a great flow and was fun from start to finish.
What was the worst track you had to ride in 2014 in your opinion? Sean Gaian: I would say my least favorite track was the World Cup in Berlin. It was tons of fun to ride in practice, but was far from a suitable race track.
Who did the raddest move on the track in 2014? Sean Gaian: I think the raddest move was Joris's last to first move in the first turn at that Euro round in France.
Which rider did the nastiest move in 2014? Sean Gaian: In my opinion, the worst move would have to be Godet's move on Liam in the 1/8th final at worlds. That move just wasn't one to be made when in qualifying position.
Which jump in particular did you like to hit this year? Sean Gaian: I loved the first jump in Berlin this year. It was unique and created a ton of speed!
What jump was sketchy? Sean Gaian: The two hip jumps in Berlin were pretty sketchy, especially in racing. They just took away from the flow of the race.
Who's the best jumper out there? Sean Gaian: I would have to say Barry is the best jumper out there. Riding with him a lot on our sx tracks, I can tell you he definitely is fearless and very talented when it comes to hitting big stuff.
Who is the stiffest jumper on the circuit? Sean Gaian: Feel that's better let unsaid!
Who's got serious bike control skills? Sean Gaian: There are so many skilled guys out there on the circuit. In my opinion I would say Joris, Corben, and Renato come to mind when I think if the most skilled guys out there.
What race this year had the best facilities? Sean Gaian: That would definitely be Manchester. They had an awesome facility and SX set up! Pretty cool to have a full scale SX course indoor.
Who do you think will win the overall UCI BMX SX World Cup?Sean Gaian: Looking at points, it seems that, barring disaster, that Liam should get the Men's title and Caroline should walk away with the Women's title. This track is quite the course though in Chula Vista, so anything can happen.
Thanks to? Sean Gaian: GT Bicycles, and all the team sponsors behind us, along with my coach James Herrera and the family always supporting me. Couldn't do any of it without them!
