LAST ORDERS: TOMMY C

4downstaff — Wed, 15 May 2013 08:00:37 +0000

Skavenger’s UK rail bomber Tommy C takes care of this week’s last orders.

1. What’s the last thing you did on your bike that you were psyched on?
This over pegs.

2. What’s the last thing you tried on your bike that didn’t work out?
This over pegs.

3. What’s the last thing that made you proud to ride BMX?
Probably the last time a went out with me mates and had a good time.

4. What’s the last thing that made you ashamed to ride a BMX?
I wouldn’t say I’ve ever been ashamed to ride, but there are obviously things in BMX that sometimes make you think it’s taken a slight turn for the worse. If it be bikes that now look like scooters cladded in rasta coloured parts, people dressed up like Catfish in M*nster Energy tracksuits, or even just the people out there riding for the wrong reasons. I like to think that the good in BMX out weighs the bad though.

5. What’s the last BMX video you watched?
AM:PM check please

6. What’s the last song you listened to?
Dream On by Aerosmith on planet rock radio.

7. What’s the last website you visited?
eBay

8. What’s the last thing that made you laugh?
When Josh’s iPhone fell out of his jumper pocket and smashed when we were out riding yesterday. Then 10 minutes later his weed fell out of his jumper pocket when we were riding to the shop. Then about 10 minutes after that his fags fell out of his jumper pocket when we were riding down a hill to a spot. You’d think he’d learn and start using his jeans pockets after smashing the phone to bits.

9. What’s the last thing that annoyed you?
Getting up at 5.30am to go to work.

10.What’s the last thing you did before filling this out?
Had me breakfast at work.
