How many tubes do you go through
At the moment it seems to be a lot, I would say 2 a month. Blow outs mostly

What tire pressure do you run?
Around 80-90. I like a lot of air in my tires, good for taps manuals!

Do you ever modify your bike to ride different styles?
Most of the time it stays as it is, I like my bars really far forward, my cranks tight, and a good working brake.

What tools do you take riding?
Spanners, allan keys, everything!

Thanks to: I would like to say a big thank you to Impurity bikes for sponsoring me, so happy with their parts and they way they run. Andy at Charge unit skatepark for keeping me fresh with Charge clothing. Jay and the boys at Hardcore Hobbies for the constant support and help and parts and Chris Smith, FATBMX and Valleysidedistro for doing me the bike interview, really appreciate all the help and support I have had!
