Cbeefs Hematoma
Nation: Name, age, current location?
CBeef: Nick "c-beef" Steben, 19 years, going to school in long island, but im from west hartford, ct
Nation: How is it being from such a rich town? Where almost nobody rides BMX? What made you stick with it and keep progressing?
CBeef: its kinda bad in a way cuz alot of people bitch about riding. ive been honked at from blocks away by old people cuz i was riding in the road. there was like 2 or 3 kids who road trails and stuff in my town and some of my friends biked, but they stoped early on in high school but i keep on riding. it was just fun and i enjoyed it. landing new tricks are fun. i liked that feeling also people had no lives and just sat around, i liked being out and about riding
Nation: So instead of staying around your area, you opted to go to woodward every summer and hangout with friends and fellow BMXers? Right? Howmuch has woodward camp influenced your bike riding?
CBeef: yeah i liked going to woodward its fun, i met so many people there when i was younger and just keep keeping in touch with them and some of them are my closest friends now. back in ct there was only a prefab park near my house which was alright and a realy mellow hip bowl at another park. i like riding street in west hartford. lots of ledges which i liked alot. but there wasnt too much park or ramps near there. when i first went to woodward i didnt know how to ride ramps or parks. i couldnt even double peg. i learned the basics there lol. but i also learned lots of other stuff out of that place, i was siked to be at a place with other bmxers, kinda felt good. no homo
