Free stickers haha or travelling to ride new skateparks in the rain.
Q: You currently have 6.5 million videos uploaded onto Vimeo. Can you tell us, have you not yet found the vast sea of pornography online or whats the deal?
Well I dont need to really, disco halfords makes bad stories about these websites.

Q: If you had to pump another male BMXer who would it be and why?
Tricky question, but Ty Morrow and Dan Lacey, for stylish reasons.

A) Piss off home like a little sissy girl?
B) Keep trying until you were so badly hurt you couldn’t possibly keep going like a macho bikestunt hardman?
C) Try something else like a poofy quitter wank?
D) Eventually pull it clean and be happy yet relieved but have an underlying feeling of sickness and hate towards yourself and your bike but because you just spent the last 37 minutes playing mind games with the fucking army of voices in your head telling you to do different things at the moment of truth?
E) Hurt yourself just a tiny wee bit and decide it really wasn’t worth the effort?
F) All of the above with crying?
F the last 1.
Q: What hingz, in general, are you looking forward to this ‘Summer’?
Well I was looking forward to riding a whole lot but thats been eliminated, so probally just filming nearly, thats all, at least its raining.
Q: Word on the grape vine is you recently had your bike stolen and Lafferty cried in the corner behind his super gay bsd uber bars while you ‘dealt wae’ the situation like a total bad ass. Please elaborate…
Well you know me, full story on nearly of what happened, but no thanks to halfords on that one.
Q: And finally, who would win in a fight between Disco and Lafferty?
I would say Disco halfords because he would use all the new konas and x-rated completes from halfords to blow up Lafferty.

The 'Serious' Stuff
Q: Why do you REALLY ride? The answer ‘because it’s fun’ will not be accepted.
i got asked this by my bro yesterday, and i really cant think of an answer, i rekon its cos iv spent so much time doing it it would be hard to give up completly. i have other intreasts, but none i find as fun or as convenitant. i reckon the reason i ride is i can have fun regardless of whos out or not, its just me i have to worry about, but more people always make it better. but the bottom line is it FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN!!!!! haha
Q: So I hear you’re campaigning to have yourself elected as the MC for the next BSD jam? Can you tell us more about that and have you even been elected to take control of the Livi jam mic yet?
hahahahaha, the livi jam doesnt have a choice! its happing at some point! haha, i dont think id be to good at the bsd jam tho, am not good at any jam! i just get so badly affected by all the redbull type drinks that i cant shut up, and i get far to excited! half the stuff i say doesnt make any sence! let the people decide i suppose!
Q: You must have some crazy move planned for this year’s Livi jam. A Water Badgerbadger perhaps?
i want to try something, but am sure its been done, its not that rad tho, so dont get excited, iv just wanted to do it. but perhaps a lawnmower death frame landing one hand barspin would go down a treat.
Q: What’s the best sound in BMX?
i want to say the roar of the crowd when somebody pulls a trick theve really been trying, but am sure uv said that before! so am going to go for the sound of fireworks getting let off by me and disco down a random aberdeen street at luben! hahahaha! that or my mc'ing! hahaha!
Q: Second place in the Death Race at the King of the Coats. Thoughts? Talk us through the race. Do you hate and loath and despise Will McGibbon?
well, first off i was third! so i hate will and graham! plus am yet to recive my prizes from mingo! the race on the other hand was trecherous! i thought i had will on the second berm but i over braked and did to much of a skid and lost it! letting graham thro before i could get back up to speed! bring on next year, revenge will (most likely not) be mine!
Q: If you had to pump another male BMXer who would it be and why?
this question is gay. but seeing as ul just complain i didnt answer it properly, i would go for the one who most looks like a girl, and shit on there chest.
Q: What is thee coolest thing you have ever seen in BMX? Whether it was first hand or in a vid or whatever.
ahhh, damn, thats a good question! video wise, criminal mischeif- van homan section.
first hand, hmmmmm, i reckon it was probly something a friend done, as i tend to find that more impressive than a big american pro doing something. i cant think of anything! its all cool!
Q: Your name is popping up everywhere at the moment T.S you are truly so hot right now. But can you please explain to your fans out there why you look like a shitter version of James Hetfield from Metallica?
i had a hair cut......
but il take shit james hetfeild over no james hetfeild! oh yeah!
Q: When was the last time you spent ages trying, but not landing, a trick that you know you can do comfortably?
yesterday, barspin the hip, i took like 10 bitch runs and got so pissed off as i usually do it like 50 times everytime i go down there! did one then i was fine again, musta had a mental block! so the answer is d!
Q: When this happened did you:
A) Piss off home like a little sissy girl?
B) Keep trying until you were so badly hurt you couldn’t possibly keep going like a macho bikestunt hardman?
C) Try something else like a poofy quitter wank?
D) Eventually pull it clean and be happy yet relieved but have an underlying feeling of sickness and hate towards yourself and your bike but because you just spent the last 37 minutes playing mind games with the fucking army of voices in your head telling you to do different things at the moment of truth?
E) Hurt yourself just a tiny wee bit and decide it really wasn’t worth the effort?
F) All of the above with crying?
Q: Your Metal Reviews on the dsab website are being dropped, as I understand it, and I have you doing different types of reviews now on things like BMX dvd’s, magazines and web edits etc. Can you tell us when we’ll be able to see them online and also about your shock at me just telling you?
eh, u told me this like 2weeks ago! fucking stoners! hahaha! am cool with that as long as u give me some ideas on what u want reveiwd! i was thinking the acdc concert i went to on tuesday at hamden! it was fucking amazing and i want to rub it in how u missed it! hahaha. that or a dvd.....
Q: And finally, who would win in a fight between yourself….and Disco Stu?*
*Disco’s Answer - Pah, don’t make me laugh. He might be able to smash through tables better than Mick Foley but he lacks the lightning reflexes and drunken UFC style of The Disc!!*
i think it would be a close battle, and disco is getting better at breaking fences, but he lacks the weight advantage, and a sock on his hand (mick foley special move), so am saying me! hahaha!
On behalf of dsab I’d like to thank you for your time, your answers and above all, your honesty.

The 'Serious' Stuff
Q: Why do you REALLY ride? The answer ‘because it’s fun’ will not be accepted.
Back in the day it was because I loved to learn new stuff and progress, now its more about not learning the latest in trick but just doing what I enjoy doing at that moment whether it be some stupid flippy thing or an old school flatland trick. All these Mark Webb/Harry Main vids are good but I just don't give a shit now, 5 years ago I'd be well into learning flair whips and 900's on 5ft quarters.
Q: What’s the best sound in BMX?
sssssssss, that means fuck it I'm off to the pub!
Q: You recently released a video of yourself ‘back in the day’ riding, your bike, in Stranrad. Can you tell us why your such a wuss nowadays and only ever try flairs at comps?
That was only 1 of about 15 tapes there is so much more terribly edited vids to come! I wouldn't say i'm a wuss now I can still do that shit if I want, and flairs are a piece of piss I used to try them a lot before I could do them cause no cunt else would try it. I plan on riding a lot this summer seeing as i'm a free man!
Q: Many people assume you lost all your magical BMX powers after you chopped your hair off much like Neil Keddie. Do you think there’s any truth to these claims?
I think I got better if anything!
Q: If you had to pump another male BMXer who would it be and why?
Fuck it there's probably a few when I have a drink in me I don't give shit.
Q: What is thee coolest thing you have ever seen in BMX? Whether it was first hand or in a vid or whatever.
One thing that stands out to me was danny doing the 'big transfer' at Stranraer skatepark its from the box takeoff over to the other side of the spine. he was the first to do it I couldn't believe he'd done it!
Q: What’s it like living in Glasgow city centre? Would you say this helps your riding and motivation or does it make you want to burn nike trainers and smash up stairs at Kelvingrove skatepark?
I love living in Glasgow I can ride pretty much whenever I want and I can go out and drink whenever I want, it's class!
Q: When was the last time you spent ages trying, but not landing, a trick that you know you can comfortably do?
Probably around 5 years ago, seriously I don't try shit more than twice these days. if its not happening its not happening. I think I'm pretty dialed at the stuff I do.
Q: When this happened did you:
A) Piss off home like a little sissy girl?
B) Keep trying until you were so badly hurt you couldn’t possibly keep going like a macho bikestunt hardman?
C) Try something else like a poofy quitter wank?
D) Eventually pull it clean and be happy yet relieved but have an underlying feeling of sickness and hate towards yourself and your bike but because you just spent the last 37 minutes playing mind games with the fucking army of voices in your head telling you to do different things at the moment of truth?
E) Hurt yourself just a tiny wee bit and decide it really wasn’t worth the effort?
F) All of the above with crying?
It would have been 'D'
Q: What hingz, in general, are you looking forward to this ‘Summer’?

Superstar
Orchid
and I DO FUCKING RIDE! I have a full time job and for 3 years I was going out with a clingy possessive bird, she's gone and for the last 2 months i've been to pished to ride that much but trust me I will be riding a lot more
Q: And finally, who would win in a fight between Kriss Kyle as he is now and you when you were his age?
Me! Kriss is a pussy I have video evidence of how much a little fanny he was/is ; )
On behalf of dsab I’d like to thank you for your time, your answers and above all, your honesty.

The 'Serious' Stuff
Q: Why do you REALLY ride? The answer ‘because it’s fun’ will not be accepted.
During school I was forced into a lot of sports and shit which I HATED. BMX was such a good way to leave it all behind and just get rad doing what I wanted to do. It’s still like that.
Q: What’s the best sound in BMX?
The roar the park makes when someone just pulled something mad.
Q: If you had to pump another male BMXer who would it be and why?
A lot of people see me as a homophobe but I will try and ignore that for this answer. After seeing this pic of big daddy (below) it would have to be him!
Q: I hear on the grapevine you've been filming for an upcoming Web Video and that things are going pretty well in the energy drink department. What can you tell us about that?
I am filming for a web vid and I get free energy drinks and stuff. You said it all in the question!
Q: What is thee coolest thing you have ever seen in BMX? Whether it was first hand or in a vid or whatever.
Aw man so much cool stuff happens that I am bound to keep changing my mind. Right now I’m thinking years ago when I was just starting riding and Neil Keddie would come to the park and do the insanest things. It would blow everyone’s minds. That was back before he was a dick. Does anyone remember that far back? Haha. Nah he still shreds when he can be arsed/escapes the thumb. Haha.
Q: When was the last time you spent ages trying, but not landing, a trick that you know you can comfortably do?
Yesterday, bars to manual. Goddamit usually I can do ‘em every go but sometimes they just evade me. Argh!
Q: When this happened did you:
A) Piss off home like a little sissy girl?
B) Keep trying until you were so badly hurt you couldn’t possibly keep going like a macho bikestunt hardman?
C) Try something else like a poofy quitter wank?
D) Eventually pull it clean and be happy yet relieved but have an underlying feeling of sickness and hate towards yourself and your bike but because you just spent the last 37 minutes playing mind games with the fucking army of voices in your head telling you to do different things at the moment of truth?
E) Hurt yourself just a tiny wee bit and decide it really wasn’t worth the effort?
F) All of the above with crying?
D) I got it eventually after 4 tantrums, 8 bike throws, 11 screams and 1000 swear words.
Q: What was this I was hearing about girls stopping you in the street and screaming, 'Disco Stu Rocks My World!' right in your face?!
That’s just an average day in my world. Us superstar BMXers have to get used to it. Haha. Nah I guess you’ll see on the vid when it’s out.
Q: What hingz, in general, are you looking forward to this ‘Summer’?
Just riding to the max, getting krunked at every opportunity and generally taking it to the next level. Learn some new stunts, maybe get some style. I want to score with some hot chicks as well. Actually that’s my main priority: babes.
Q: And finally, who would win in a fight between you and tom?
Pah, don’t make me laugh. He might be able to smash through tables better than Mick Foley but he lacks the lightning reflexes and drunken UFC style of The Disc!!
On behalf of dsab I’d like to thank you for your time, your answers and above all, your honesty.
