@Cameron - How much did you train to gain this much skill which made you pro? You probably thought in your head everyday, how am i gonna make it pro, there are so many other riders out there with the same dream, but i know you didnt care about that, i know all you did was focus on yourself, and that's what inspires me

@Brandon - How many of your tricks did you learn in a foam pit? A lot of your tricks are so big and unique, did you just get them right in the first couple tries on dirt, or did you spend days at the Airdome perfecting them?

luke-xcess (Nov 17, 2010 at 10:20)

@all - obviously we need brand run competitions like crankworx and rampage for industry progression, more money in circulation etc., but would you like to see/take part in more rider run comps like bearclaw invitational?
personally I think some sort of big mountain, north shore rampage style (i.e. the whole building your own line thing) would be epic if that makes sense?
Although I'm british I don't strictly mean wood work, I mean BC north shore, like the wade simmons section in NWD8 and kinda Brandon's section in Follow me with Stevie smith, I think its great when there are complete mixtures of riders at comps,everything from DJers to DHers to trials riders

@ Cam, Brandon and Shandro - What will you all say to cheer up a former rider who broke his spine on a bike and may never return to this sport but there is a chance through rehabilitation of him?
I ask becouse my good friend have done this and we and our team called "Tabor Team" visit him in hospital as much as we could but its hard to find new words to make him believe its do-able. We got foundation called "4 Bro" on facebook to connect all friends togather to give him as much love as we can. Cheers guys.

Hey Guys,

@ Trek - When will they be releasing a 4" x 4" slopestyle bike with ABP and full floater technology? We have been seeing you to guys ride these prototypes for a few years now and it is killing me to not have one! Trek has steped up their mtb game big in the last 5 years and this is the last piece of the puzzle. we know the technology is there! we have seen it! now let us have it!

@Cam - Having been a professional mountain biker for some time now, what do you think about the general progression towards bigger tricks, features, risks, and injuries? Tricks are becoming more impressive and daunting every month but always in a way that puts riders at huge risk to their body and career. How do you feel about the possibility of debilitating injury, and to what degree do sponsors have on riders' decisions about the risks they take during the course of their career?

Hey boys, first off love my Trek bikes, I've ridden a session for the past two seasons and have a new one on order again. I just got out for my last ride of the year on a custom set up fuel EX frame, basically longer travel fork, short stem , and a wide bar.

@ All - What is your personal set up for every day shredding? Do u have any unique set ups that u prefer to run over a stock bike fit. not so much parts used, but cockpit set up and what are u doing to get the feeling you are looking for. One more for Andrew, I'm starting to really feel the falls and stresses on my body, do you have any secrets that you can share with us on how you keep given'er?
