A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR SETUP:
“I recently switched from the BSD Forever XL to David Grant’s signature Raider frame and couldn’t be happier about it. The 21.6″ top tube and 9.3″ seat tube make it so I can run my seat lower and bars further back with it still feeling normal. I didn’t think I’d ever stop riding a purple frame, but I really dig how the trans black colorway looks with the chrome parts. College girls love chrome.”

A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR SETUP:
“I’m pretty stoked to be riding my new signature frame, it’s got a lot of cool new features like the tapered single gauge tubing on the front triangle and engraved headtube. The translucent finish on the green frame is perfect, it’s supposed to look like a whisky bottle and with the Jameson’s inspired graphics it does.”
“My bike set up is pretty compact, I ride the 20.65″ frame which is mid size. It looks tiny on the average person but fits me solid. I like the WZA bars because they aren’t so wide. I ride them uncut with my grips stretched all the way to the bend. Also like 4 pegs and brand new bar ends in at all times.”

A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR SETUP:
The short back end on the Trailorpark frame makes it feel so responsive to ride, also I like the feeling of the laid back seat angle, it means your feet sit a little further forward from the seat.
I have the production models of the new BSD Substance cranks now, I tested prototypes for over a year and I’m so happy with how they came out, they don’t flex at all. When I put a new bike together I don’t need to modify any of the parts, my bike is light and solid, tyres pretty hard and BB nice and tight so my cranks don’t spin on whips, that’s all I can think of for now…

A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR SETUP:
“My bike has harder gearing because I like to go fast, fannying about on 1ft high ledges at 2mph is for rollerbladers. My bars are full of bar ends because I keep losing them inside my bars, and I stretch my grips out so they feel thinner. I painted my bike army green so it was a little different, same with the seat. Its always cool to have something unique.”

Modifications?
None, everything is straight out the box.
Why do you ride the WZA Frame?
Because Mike Taylor put his name on it. I like the geometry for nozzas and it’s holds up to loads of crank arm / derek duster abuse.
What’s your favourite part at the moment?
Definitely the Giraffic Bars, being taller and wider makes everything feel like it’s less of an effort and although I was scared initially being wider they feel sick as fuck for barspins.
What parts do you go through the most?
Grips, spokes and used to be chains. I used to run a chain pieced together with loads of bits of different chains, it constantly snapped and I was paranoid about breaking it. This one has held up sweet since April though.
What are your plans for the summer?
Loads of riding at Unit 23 and filming in Glasgow over the summer with the team, looking forward to the Americans coming over. BMX coaching in Edinburgh and Glasgow, then back to college in September. Peace!
