Weight: I don't know, like 25 lbs. or something...

Parts you need most often?
Jeff: It all depends, probably some brake cables, or spokes.

Do you have a hook up for most parts?
Jeff: Pretty much as of late, I get a lot of help right now and I appreciate it all! My bike has never ran so gutchy as it does now...

Do you know Felt's Alan Foster from when he used to be a top racer, or more like the brother of Brian Foster?
Jeff: Ha! I've never really followed racing at all... But Brian Foster is one of my all time favorite riders. Dude is seriously so good... It would be nice to sesh with that dude someday...

Do you call up team mate Scotty Cranmer when you're struggling with the double whip?

Jeff: HA! Double whips really aren't my thing... That boy Scotty got 'em on lock though, so maybe he'll have to show me what's up soon...

What car do you have to do donuts in?
Jeff: 1998 Cavalac... It gets the job done.

What bike shop helps you out when you need special tools to fix something?
Jeff: I usually don't go to bike shops since there's really no shops that handle BMX fully... But Circus Skatepark has a shop with a bunch of tools that I dial shit in with.

Thanks to: Bart for this. Alan and Josh Betley at Felt Bikes. Kyle and Josh at Osiris Shoes. Jon at Sun Rims. Seamus for the new swag. The 12:35 crew. My folks. Everyone else who supports me, THANKS! 100.
