John interview

The other day John and I decided to do a text interview, this is what we came up with. Also here are a few pictures from Frankie, he took them while he was here over Thanksgiving break.

Mike: What do you think about those Hi-5 guys? Shook or not shook?

John: Not shook. The whole shook and grom phrases have been taken way to far. They love riding just as much if not more than anyone. They get hated on for having fun.

Mike: What's this shit about you having a Hemi? True or False?

John: True, my bike got a new paint job courtesy of the Jackal to match a 1970 AAR CUDA. Shes fast as hell and a bit heavy, but she's a beauty. Like queen said, fat bottom girls make the rockin world go round.

Mike: Is it true you like boys or do you just like grabbing there dicks?

John: False to both. I just like to make people uncomfortable, whether telling filthy stories, showing BME videos or rubbin up against em like a cool breeze.

Mike: What is your opinion on Tucson as a whole?

John: Too hot, too much hate. I wish there could be a complete scene. But we got pre madonnas that refuse to ride with certain people which just takes away from the fun. Everyone is too hung up on new spots and filming the next greatest video part. It never used to be like that. We used to be able to ride a parking lot for hours and have the time of our lives, not so much anymore. For riding Tucson ins't the best but if your looking to retire and play golf everyday, your set.

Mike:Who has the biggest influence on the Tucson scene in your opinion?

John: I don't think anybody has an influence on the scene. But Bissell is the undisputed mayor of BMX in this town. Without him and dudes like Ross Cole BMX would not be nearly as big as it is today. Bissell has killed it for so long, whether it's a janky ditch, pool, or getting NAG 1. He just loves to ride. I also think a lot can be said about what Mikey has accomplished through clicked, by organizing city hall meetings to jams and getting everyone together to have fun on their bikes.

Mike: In two words explain everyone in the Hi-5.

John: Extremely supercalafragalisticexpialadoshus!

Mike: I meant separate.

John: Oh, I like mine better so fuck you and go with it.

Mike: Ok?

Mike: Rumor has it you and Jack are getting a house together, what are you going to name it?

John: The pimp palace fuck farm? I dunno. We're accepting names.

Mike: What is up with your new tattoo?

John: Haha, that is definitely mine. But I also agree with Lynn, it's so wrong but also funny, kinda like your hair.

Mike: Whats wrong with my hair?

John: Lol, calm down.

Mike: Ok most interviews end with thanks, that shit sucks. End it how you will Mr. Nasty Pants.

John: Wack, come up with something or your fired.

Mike: What do you mean?

John: I got nothing. I'll think it over and get back to you.

THE Jack Interview

Q: Why did your parents name you Jacks washes?

A: Umm well my grand-father is named jack, and the washes part came a bit later cause I shralp the ditches because I used to live by some of the funnest in town.

Q: I know from being one of your good buddies that Aron Ross is one of your favorite riders. What are some of your other favorite shredders?

A: Haha fat boy style! Well if the new tat doesn't tell you, pretty much everyone on t1 and taj. Eddie, chase deheart, chase hawk, bf, dak, I really like anyone with a creative style or just smooth as shit. I rather see a clean bar than a hucked tail whip any day.

Michael: He forgot the best rider ever.

Q: You recently went to Austin, how was it? Would you want to go back soon? Where else would you like to travel to?

A: Oh man Austin was really fun. Wish we had more time and a lot less rain! I would love to go back! I would really like to go to the East coast. NYC, Boston, Philly. Canada would be good too! So many good parks!




Q: Can you please try and explain to people how you do tire slides so well, is it loose legs? You on the Lynn workout plan, what is it?

A: I don't know, just been doing them for ever. Its my favorite thing to do. Just gotta learn to have fun.




Q: Word on the street is your running peggers, what do you plan to do with those bad boys? El Toro?

A: Haha just took them off yesterday! Those things are dangerous! Haha, But I really just wanted to ice pick something.



Q: You are no dirty, but i have seen you sip on some brew-skies, what are your top five favorites?

Q: As I am not up on my bmx history, i know however you are like an archive of vhs's, What are some of your favorite shred tapes?

A: Shutter speed, base Brooklyn, all little devils, the t1 video was good too, animals always get me going. The s&m videos. There's more just can't think of them, oh wait the krimzen vhs ones! Still waiting to see those, Andy!




Q: If you could change something about the Tucson scene, what would it be and why ?

A: Well the scene is good here, we kinda need to come together and wake up the city of Tucson to get a fucking park. Or maybe do it our selves.


Michael: I like the lets do it our selves idea, anyone know of a good underpass in town?

Q: How long do you plan on pedaling the 20 inch?

A: As long as I can. Its what keeps me sane and happy











Q: Any last words, comments, shout outs, ANYTHING?

A: Well thanks to Micheal for the interview. Frankie for the pics. The whole high five crew for making riding fun. Tucson and the forecloser rate for all the pools! Andy for the tire, when I see it! And everyone else that shreds and has fun doing it!
