How many rims have you killed doing hang ups?
Vince: Luckily none on vert I think I did howerever a long time ago. It was a hazard rim on a 4ft quarter.

How much pressure do you use to tighten your stem bolts?
Vince: Um, I really don't have any measure, I guess I just tighten it till it feels tight, which is hopefully before it strips out haha.

How much pressure goes into your tires?
Vince: Roughly about 80 in the front and 90 to 95 in the back.

If you’re going on a trip where you’re not going to ride any vert, what do you change on your bike?
Vince: Nothing

Something rattles, what do you do?
Vince: Tighten it I spose. Hopefully when it happens I have tools etc with me.

What kind of (tire) pump do you use?
Vince: Whatever the closest mate near me with a pump has.

Is your toolbox well equipped?
Vince: I've got pretty much everything bar a pump and say a hammer to get out bearings etc. Got all the allen keys, spoke key, Socket for my axles, chain breaker, cable cutters, adjustable wrench and a couple of regular wrenches, tire levers too.

What tools do you take with you when you’re traveling?
Vince: I take the same tools everywhere they just stay in my bag I always take.

Who are hooking you up to keep your bike rolling?
Vince: Pilgrim, 5050 BMX I would say. Though I haven't had a few new parts since earlier this year.

Thanks to: My parents for supporting me, my friends for riding with and hanging out and my sponsors 5050BMX Pilgrim, JC Epidemic, and the guys at Megaramp.
