PHIPPSIO · « **on:** July 02, 2012, 11:02 PM »

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

What's the most ridiculous thing you've been asked to do by one of your sponsors back in the day....

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.

HEYWOOD BMX · « **Reply #16 on:** July 03, 2012, 01:20 PM »

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

"fancy joining us on a rad cruise of cologne after your little display and we'll show you what BMX bikes are really for"

"will you sign Griff's number plate if he promises not to immediately flog it on ebay like ******?"
