Did you have any input in the geometry or design of your bike?
Connor Fields: no, from the first time I rode on a stock Chase frame I loved it. Chase offered to make a custom frame but I didn't feel that I needed it.

Have you ever tried a carbon frame?
Connor Fields: no, but I look forward to riding the new Chase carbon when it comes out.

What part on your bike do you like most?
Connor Fields: I really think all of the Bmx racing group's products are top notch. I think the frame/fork/bar combo all looks really good together.

Do you ever change gear?
Connor Fields: very rarely. I've won a few races on a 41-15 but I like to stick to my 44-16 with 180s and a big tire.

How long have you been with Chase?
Connor Fields: I signed with Chase in 2011, before they even had a frame to show me! I've been on the team for 5 years and both chase and myself hope I can do something rare, which is ride for one bike brand for my whole career.

Thanks to: My parents, my coach PH, USA Cycling, Pete, Christophe, David Burger, James Hererra, Joey Bradford, all of my fans and supporters, and BdJ for the interview!
