Describe an average weekday…
I work a lot but I try and ride indoor parks at night as much as I can.
What about the weekend?
Try and mission it anywhere with the homies. It’s all about just relaxing and having fun with your mates riding your bike.
Newest part on your bike?
Newest bike part would have to be a Divison Drivers side hub guard.
Fix tubes or new tubes?
I’m so useless when it comes to fixing my bike but its defiantly new tubes for sure.
Facebook, Twitter or Instagram?
I’m really into instagram at the moment. @mickeysoole
Anything you would do-over if you could?
Film riding a little more because the last riding edit of myself was 9 years ago.
Last web video that got you stoked on riding?
Any of the Alex Donnachie and Liam Zinbergs BSD web videos. I really like how they are filmed and those two guys have some of the best street style in my opinion.
Last song you listened to?
Jay Z – 30 Something.
Pegs?
All 4.
Brakes?
Not for a long time.
Favourite movie of all time?
Anything with Marvel comic characters in it.
Park, street or dirt?
I like to try and ride everything but I mostly ride Park.
What kind of car do you drive?
03 Subaru Forster.
When and what was your first photo in a magazine?
I’ve only ever had one photo and it was in a Focalpoint magazine. It was shot by Coops around 3 years ago. It was a crooks on a rail out of a makeshift bank made out of a sign.
You have any web videos coming out?
I’m broken off at the moment with a busted ankle but when I get back on my bike I am planning on finally working on something.
First bmx video you saw?
Road fools 3. Defiantly one of the biggest reasons I got hooked into riding bmx when I was younger.
Summer or Winter, which do you prefer?
Defiantly winter. Summer in Brisbane is insane to ride in.
A few moves you love to do when out riding…
I am naturally goofy footed so I love grinding both ways.
Last trip you took?
Newcastle to commentate king of dirt contest. I am well over due for another trip.
A good spot or park you’ve hit up lately…
RideOn Indoor park. It has a new spine box and it’s so much fun!
Random story from your local park?
Back when I was around 17 or 18 there was a little red headed kid at our local that use to be so annoying to everyone and you really just wanted to punch him but you knew he would just come back and annoy you even more. He was a good rider for his age and progressed a lot but his real passion was football so he stopped riding. I hadn’t seen him in a few years and out of the blue at Sydney airport he tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around to see a giant red headed tower of a human and that fellas name is Dylan Napa who now plays for the Sydney Roosters.
