More and more riders are using the La Bastille frame. What made you decide to pick one up?

Colton: I decided to pick up the La Bastille because of its dimensions. The shorter back end and the steeper head tube.

So it works out well for your type of riding?
Colton: Yes the HARO La Bastille fits my riding style very well, it makes a lot of my tricks easier to do.

Parts you go through most often?
Colton: I like the soft ODI grips and I go through them the most. All of my parts hold up very well and I never have issues with them.

When you can't fix something on your bike yourself, who helps you out?
Colton: When I can't fix something on my bike my Dad always helps me out.

How long did it take for you to put this one together?
Colton: This bike took me I would say roughly two hours to assemble.

What kind of bag do you use when you put her on the plane?
Colton: When I pack my bike for traveling I use a Ogio Monster travel bag.

Where do you ride most of the time?
Colton: Where I ride most of the time is at the Twin Cities Fantasy Factory.

Where would you like to ride?
Colton: I would really like to ride the GC Compound in Australia.

Thanks to: My parents for always being so supportive and thanks to Haro Bikes, Monsterarmy, Deftfamily, Bell helmets and to everyone else who supports me.
