What's in Gascoigne's Head?

Chris Gascoigne, mister superman himself, congratulations on placing 2nd at one of our sports biggest contests! Is this the first competition you have placed in?

 

Thanks Jake. Well, its not the first comp i have placed it but its the first Major comp i have placed in.

How did it feel to stand next to some of the top riders in the world and know that you are ranked up there with them?

 

It honestly was really unexpected, It was very thrilling to hear my name announced. It cought me off Guard, In all honestly it felt really good. 

 

 

How long have you been with our sport exactly and what started it all?

 

I have been riding 9 years in december. What got it started was, My bike had been stolen and i hoped on a scooter and went to my local park. I just kept riding and progressing, I had a lot of fun and thats what this and any sport is about. I loved it so i stuck with it.

So I've seen your videos, got any other tricks besides supermans and scooterflips? ;D Only kidding of course. What would you say is your favorite trick to do and why?

 

I have several favorite tricks to do right now, One of them being Heelwhips. The trick is so fun and i have found that i can really control it. Another would be 1 foot inverts that trick feels so good and i can click it to the point it hits me everytime. 

 

Last question, I promise. What is the next competition/event we should expect to see you at?

 

Most likely the next stop of the Exposed tour, This tour is seriously amazing, Dave Ward and Kim Funk are doing an amazing job with it.

Any last words for all the little shredders out there?

 

Ride for the soul purpose of riding and having fun, You do NOT need to be sponsored. Just have fun and do your thing, sponsors will follow. 

 

Thanks a lot Chris! Hopefullt I'll see you at a an upcoming competition! Check out his latest edit and of course STAY REAL!
