Any modifications: This frame was ridden by Pete Brandt & Bo Wade before I got it as a warranty & Bo had cut the seat tube down.
Anything specific to you that you must have on your own ride: A Yoda sticker it never hurts to have the force on your side! & my Adidas shoe tongue stem pad. It’s saved my knees many times.
Sponsors: Empire BMX, thanks Tina & Tom.
Advice to beginners on bike set ups? Don’t fall into the trap of constantly changing your set up thinking it will improve your riding. Find a good bike and improve yourself.
