ALEX-I had a video sent to Mark. And he rang me up an asked if i wanted to come an ride with him... I did and it was mental! He's helped me out so much!

TOTAL=So you got an invite to Simple Session in Tallinn are you looking forward to it and is this your first major contest?

ALEX-Yeah man im super stoked to be going should be sick! And yeah I have never done any comps before so should be nuts.

ALEX-Umm HaHa i dunno lol i just like learning new tricks :)

TOTAL-What are your plans for 2010? Are you going to start hitting some contests?

ALEX-The frame is really good i love it! He's done a sick job!

TOTAL-It seems that you came out of no where, Webbie showed me a DVD of you he had and he was proper psyched on you, does it feel like you finally are getting some props for your riding?

ALEX-Iv never really filmed before so doing that first edit with Mark definitely helped a lot!

TOTAL-Have you considered moving to the U.K so you have more things to ride or do you love home too much? Like would you live in the TotalBMX warehouse when it is up and running?
