Parts you go through most often?
Brandon: I don't really break anything on my bike but I'd have to say I wreak pedals and cranks pretty bad!

Who are some of the people who hook you up with parts when you need them?
Brandon: I started riding for GT. They supply me with frames and BMX Mafia Shop hooks me up with Demolition parts!

Do you care about the looks of your bike?
Brandon: Yeah I do but I get pretty crazy sometimes with what colors are on the bike as of now there are like 6 different colours on it right now, but I feel like it's a good amount.

Are you picky on how it rolls?
Brandon: Yes definitely, I like everything to be tight especially my bottom bracket and my tires hard so I don't have to pedal as much

What tire pressure do you run?
Brandon: 90psi

What are the modifications you made to your bike?
Brandon: None really, it's all just thrown together and I ride it like that.

Any special reason for the colour combination of your bike?
Brandon: Well the grips are for Maddog I support him and The Kitchen. But the Orange frame with black and a little chrome is something different and I love it!
