Eric Effinger Interview by Mike S
« on: April 25, 2009, 09:38:22 AM »
A while ago I read some comments on Global-Flat from back in Canada asking about my mate Eric. I met Eric in Hyde Park, Sydney a few months back, we´ve been riding together quite frequently since then and been at two contests, too. I decided to ask him if it was okay for me to shoot some pics and ask some questions to give the Global-Flat audience a quick update of his life. He said yes, so here we go!

Thanks to Michael for the interview and the great photos!

Go Eric Go!!  I guess you did get back into riding like you said you were! That don't happen too often, and riding at the pro level on top of it! Well, don't that beat all?! It'd be great to ride with you again when you come back to Canada!

I had the pleasure of meeting and riding with Eric in Melbourne and Sydney, earlier this year.  He's such an awesome rider, and a real nice bloke, too!! 
Good to see you got a taller seat post, Eric. lol   Hey, we'll have to meet up for a ride when I move to Canada!!   

(Eric at the Australian BMX Games, in Melbourne, Jan 2009.  He placed just behind the legends of Flatland...  Mike Steingraeber and Simon O'Brien.  Well done!!)

Yo Eric!!! Glad to see you are doing your thing again!  I also had a longbreak in riding but haven't gotten nearly to the level you have.  AWESOME!  See you round Toronto or Hamilton for some jams this summer?
