and if you ever ask for a go on my bike, i will respectfully say no!!! ripping out the rear dropouts hanging up? sheeeesh!
if you dont have the time to write a book, record some stories to tape, post it to me and i will transcribe it to web pages.
what you have done, and seen, needs to be recorded in some way!!!

--- Quote from: tricknuts on October 19, 2005, 09:41 PM ---Interview head on . Carlo. Why don't you compete now? Is it just you're burnt out from competing for so many years, or is the travelling too much now you have family. Do you worry about being good enough or is it simply too many injuries? Last weekend Jamie and Simon came first and second in Vert at the Dew action sports tour in orlando. Don't you fancy a bit of that?

The reason i dont compete now... Looking back at it and the only reason i would comptete would be for the money... The enjoyment of competing is not there at the moment... Sometimes when i see some of the contests i think i could take them but the other side of me says i cant be bothered... This may sound strange...
My heroes have gone from this and i cant picture me riding the ramp with some of the other riders Humping there way around the ramp... Bestwick is the bset guy out there at the moment and ilike watching him to a certain degree... Kagy is good also...
Im not keen on a lot of the other vert riders.. im not saying they are bad but i would rather watch bestwick , Miron or Hoffman than the others...
Whats funny is i had a email from another very well know U.S bmx rider and they had been told about me writing on this site and they asked me to carry on...
Alot of people know i dont like doing interviews as people dont realy understand what is said or misunderstand abou things.....
I was talking to another rider about them competing the other day and they asked if i would ride with them.. Well maybe but i may ride another comp again but it will have to be the right one and it will have to be fun or i wont go....
theRuler:
can you make it to bones on the 29th (saturday) ?
tricknuts:
Carlo. Thanks for answering so candidly. It's great to have you on here, and share your memories of the old days.
