Last But Not Least…
What was the last thing you did today before answering this lot?
Watching Dora The Explorer with my nephew.Where did you ride your bike last?
At Pessac, close to Bordeaux France, where I broke my ankle on a skatepark’s hip.
What was the last new trick you learnt?
I think, x-up to no-hand to almost x-up.
When did you last build up a new bike?
Five minutes ago. I just finish to fit my parts on the Deluxe.
What was the last album you bought?
Sonic Youth, Daydream Nation.
What was the last book you read?
The Essential Punk Accessory.
What was the last BMX video you watched?
Prettyshady 5, so shady.
What was the last city you visited?
Bordeaux, in my car after my BMX crash on the hip. Hard to drive injured at the ankle in a unknown city. Good and clean city.
When, and where, were you last genuinely lost on your travels?
Around the beginning of 2008 in L.A. I went out on my bike from my host family to discover this shady city. I found some guys with BMX bikes, I asked them if I could find trails. They told me yes, but it’s far away. I went straight ahead, and I found a few shady jumps. Nothing interesting. I lost myself when I wanted to get back home.
What was your last meal?
No idea.
What was the last great gadget or invention that you saw or bought?
I saw a geek with an iPhone. He’s able to find cop’s radars with it. To find the location of people with their phone number, and to find the band and more of a song which is played around it… All with an iPhone.
When was the last time you scared yourself?
When I woke up in a different bed. But alone. Drunk party.
Where is the last place on earth you want to visit?
