4. You've created Chapter2 BMX, a web site completely dedicated to Freestyle BMX. Why did you start and witch reasons motivates you right now to continue ?
In reality I don’t know, I began to do quebecbmx.com in 2000 and it was mostly news around our scene here in Quebec City. Then we began to know more riders, and to travel a lot more around the province and I was then covering news from everywhere. Now I've got news from everybody and I think they know that Chapter2 is a good place to post news and promote their event. What push me to continue, I don’t know, maybe the people that let comments on the forum. I love to read people comments, even if I don’t have a many …

NEH !! I just love to ride, doing big air, simple tricks, even if it's not style to say that we love to do style tricks ahah …

Making love. After each time, I'm so happy that I really want to go ride. Well there is also those situations when you feel that you don’t fit in and you’re not at the right place, It just makes me want to ride.

I really love to ride in New Hampshire, lots of ramps and big flat space to pedal.

Almost all the one in Quebec, because anyway I promote their event on my web site Chapter2. If I push them, I don’t have choice to participate at their contest … anyway I always have a good time.

Hitting my head on the ground when missing a no foot one hand few years ago, and all the bails that I took at the Charny trail Grrrr.
