E-FISE is here, riders have filmed and submitted their qualifier videos and voting is now open! These guys are relying on your vote to see them through to the final stages.
We thought we’d get some insight into the entries from UK riders and nudge you to vote for your favourite.
Q&A with Declan Brooks
– Tell us about filming. Where did you ride, how long did it take, who filmed it?
We filmed it in two days at two different parks. Adrenaline Alley and Asylum Skatepark. Both amazing parks as you know.
To be honest I actually wasn’t planning on filming one. I got to the park one day and Charlotte Worthington was filming a video with your man Adam Lievesley. She had finished filming and Adam was there hanging out. They persuaded me to do one and here we are.
– Did you have to battle for any of the clips in this one?
I did have to battle a couple of clips. Some were a battle because I haven’t been really feeling 100% on my bike as we haven’t been riding a whole lot. I was also battling a tech line that I wanted but that got the better of me.
– Do you have a favourite clip?
My favourite clip would be the big no hander transfer into the 3 double whip at Asylum. It’s a pretty big gap and it’s blind as well.
– What was your approach for the video? Did you go all out for this one to have the best chance of qualifying, or did you hold some things back for the next round?
To be honest I didn’t really hold back. Right now in my riding that’s all I was really comfortable doing. I didn’t fancy getting hurt to be honest. As I ride more and more over the next month or so I’ll be feeling more comfortable on my bike and that’s when I’ll start dropping bigger tricks.
“I’d love to make another video in the finals. Make it more personal with some humour and some bangers!”
– If you get into the final stages, what can we expect to see from you?
You can expect a whole lot more for sure. I’d like to add a bit of character in it as well. The qualifying video was kind of rushed and last minute. I’d like to put a little spin on it.
– You must have kept a close eye on the competition. Any of the other entries you’re stoked on?
I’m stoked on a few of them. I really like Kevin Pereza’s entry, his riding is awesome.
– Here’s the push… Why should people vote for you?
Well, you’ve got to support the brits. Then you’ve got to obviously pick the most charming and handsome one. I’m not saying nothing that’s up to you… Haha! 😉
No, on a serious note I’d love to make another video in the finals. Make it more personal with some humour and some bangers!
