Guys I have an opportunity to interview some of the ex Haro Freestyle team in the next 48 hours whilst I am in California. First up is Mike D, Blyther and Rich Sigur and then a day after will be Tony Murray, Marc McGlynn and Ron Wilton. I'm not going into technical details about bikes etc as these guys simply don't have much recollection, but general questions about Haro, life on the team etc is all good. Help me get the best out of this.
What would you ask? What do you want to know?
Thanks
Dom

To Mike D;
Any truth in the rumour that you stopped practising altogether at one one point and simply turned up at comps to win.

:) I`d ask for a reacharound.And their opinions on BMX today ie modern riders/bikes/industry & if/how they`ve influenced it.

Ask Brian Blyther is he recalls hanging out with my mates and myself plus Darren Wood back in 1985 ish during the Kelloogs at brum . We met in the arboretum in Walsall. I did ask him why he was putting on a yank accent :2funny: :idiot2: He also said I was a lunatic 4 the mental 180 jumps I was doing off a massive mound of soil . ::) looking back that was a compliment off the man who aired at the max :daumenhoch:
