How much is the weight of the bike?
Casey: I'm actually not sure, I've never been too concerned with weight.

What do the kids think of the bike when you roll up at the skatepark?
Casey: Oh man, pure confusion haha. A lot of weird stares and a ton of questions.

Did you make any modifications to the bike to make it (look) better?
Casey: I converted the 1" headtube to accept a 1 1/8" headset so I could run a new school front end.

Who are your all time favourite riders if you had to pick 5?
Casey: In no particular order... Ruben Alcantara, Mike Dominguez, Mike Aitken, Sergio Layos, Eddie Fiola

What's the trick of all tricks in your book?
Casey: Either a candy bar lookback or that thing that Simon Tabron does, I think it's called a 540 body jar. It's where he spins a 540 on vert and taps his rear wheel on the coping when he come back in...insane.
