Gordon, tell the beloved readers a little about yourself and what have you been doing during this shitty winter weather?

“I just love riding and always have the urge to get on my bike, it’s so fun. Well for this shit weather, I’ve been indoors a lot more than normal, trying to keep riding as much as I can, but the weather sure ain’t been helping. All I can say is bring on the summer! Well, I have been partying a fair bit too, it’s always good to go out ‘n’ get loose!”

As always, tell us how you got started riding bikes?

“I guess it all started when I was 10 years old. I had a blue Apollo mountain bike and brought it down my local park, The Level. I eventually got a BMX about 6 months down the line and from then all I’ve wanted to do is ride.”

Growing up and having the chance to meet and ride with some many good riders in your local area must have been great. Were you influenced by the Brighton riding scene from an early age?

“Oh yeah, it definitely has! I’ve loved seeing all the different riders come through and each with their different styles. The exposure to pro level riding that was brought by having both Brighton Ain’t Ready films shot in my home town is unbelievable. Getting a front row and behind the scenes view of the whole process that goes into that size of project has been real eye-opener.”

Where are some of your favourite places to ride? You rode at Boardmasters last summer, how was that?

“The Level, my local, for sure! It’s got so many lines and different ramps to ride, from the bowl to all the street jibs. There’s the indoor park in Bognor called The Base and Corby when I get the chance to ride there too. Yeah, Boardmasters was rad! Getting to be at a festival, party and then riding a BMX comp at the same time was such an experience, ha ha! Then every day that we were there went to a wooden park called Wooden Waves, it was so much fun too. I do enjoy a good wooden park session.”
