This was supposed to go along with the video below. Victor was in a rush I guess so he interviewed himself. Anyone interested in hooking him up with parts, clothes, bitches, or weed can reach him at myspace.com/labmx. Enjoy!
1. Why do you ride BMX ? FAITH. Perfect word to start off this "anonymous"
interview. The reason I ride, is because its an out let. The best way to
describe it in terms of relation to anything "you" have ever felt. Would be
like, watching your favorite video part. (Yeaaaa. There we go. Think about
it deeply. Why do you love that video so much?).... Could be because you
feel inspired like I am when I watch other riders do anything from, hucking
a front flip down an 8 stair, to 180 down a 20 stair. Point being, watching
bmx videos was always a "window" into another world in which, I wish I
existed in.
So with that being said. When I'm out on my bike. I demonstrate full
confidence. I know that I'll always pull everything I try. Eventually.
Because I never try anything I don't think I'm capable of. I don't believe
in hucking myself down a 20 stair, until I know I'm ready.
2. Why don't you believe in hate? Simply because I believe. HATE DESTROYS
any reputation. Think of BMX in an over all perspective. Now imagine it,
minus all the hate. Beautiful world is it not? Well, one day my friend.
We'll all be accepted around the world.
3. Believe in God? Of course I do. I know you've heard people say, "he's my
number one inspiration." I truly believe in this quote to its highest
extent. I believe God, saved my life when I was in a very depressed part of
my life. For 6 months straight when I moved from my home town Carencro,
Louisiana. I moved to Baton Rouge, and for six months. NO ONE rode with me.
I rode by myself in my parking lot of my apartments. It was just me and my
mother who was struggling to get the bills paid. FOR 6 MONTHS. Hahaha.
Imagine that?. Anyways, I believe it was God who pulled me every step of the
way. He was that voice in the back of my mind the whole time saying "Hey
victor. This is only the begging. Your friends will come back around one
day. But for now. Focus on what you love most." and I did just that.
4. Where's the sponsors dude? Ha. Only God knows that answer. I am currently
un sponsored. I would love to be an example to any kid on the Comeup, much
like my self. Never give up. One day. Sponsors will overflow your gmail
accounts. Haha. I have no reason to lie to you. Believe in yourself and your
friends as well.
5. What's believing have anything to do with riding? EVERYTHING! I'd like to
share a quote I once read on the Internet. "You'll never live above your own
self image.". Meaning; If you cant sit down at any place in the world, close
your eyes, and imagine yourself riding your bike and doing the tricks you
wish you could do. Chances are, because you don't believe in yourself, that
you'll never reach that level of "enlightenment". I hate to sound harsh, but
I'm just letting you in on my reality.
6. What do you have to say to everyone who knows you? Thank every last one
of y'all. All the way from the people I love and adore most like my mom,
dad, sisters, brother in-laws, and Rebecca. Down to the people that I once
told "I hate you". Why? Because all of you have had a major impact on my
life. Whether it was good or bad. I believe the reason all of you were a
part of my life was for me to learn from.
7. Key to learning tricks a.s.a.p. Visualize in your head before you try to
manifest your wildest dreams. You want to learn a bunny hop barspin? Sit
down. Break it down, think of it as you would a puzzle. There's always 4
steps to any trick.
Visualize.
Attempt.
Fall.
The final step is pulling it. But always remember. Just like in life. "you
have to crawl before you can walk." now in relation to bmx. You HAVE to fall
before you can Land. That's just the rules of physics. Hahaha. -Thanks for
reading
love life and love riding your bike. Now go send that shit
doooooooooddddddddd!
