Parts you go through most often?
Josh: Don't really go through any parts if I'm honest, probably change my brake pads the most aha

Who are some of the people who hook you up with parts when you need them?
Josh: Wanna say thanks to Mason Smith at Custom Riders/Scoop bmx distribution for keeping my bike looking and feeling the best it ever has and fatality bmx for hooking me up with pedals and other bits and bobs heres and there!

Do you care about the looks of your bike?
Josh: For sure, if I dont like the way my bike looks I don't enjoy riding it as much!

Are you picky on how it rolls?
Josh: Definitely, it's gotta be dialled and how I like it or I won't ride it till it is aha

What tire pressure do you run?
Josh: About 90 psi in both

What are the modifications you made to your bike?
Josh: Cut down seatpost and bars, drilled out the insides of my rims and cleaned out and bent the pulls in my rear hub so its sounds better and engages better

Any special reason for the colour combination of your bike?
Josh: Never had any chrome parts before so I though I get a few and I couldn't be more stoked with how it looks now

Wana say a big thanks to Mason for sorting everything out with dk bicycles and the rest of the parts on my bike and fatality bmx for hooking me up with the pedals and the rest of my sponsors for helping me live the dream!
