On monday i was told to write up an interview as a CAPP project. CAPP is a class our school makes us take to help us find out what we like. They tell us to take up a carreer in something we like and could see ourselves being happy doing for a long time. I like bikes, riding street and getting to know people, so I put those all together to help me with my interview project. I had just added Kyle scully to my msn list and i didnt know jack squat about him so i decided he would be a good candidate for an interview. ya.
Rftp:
lets start off with how old are you and where are you from?
Scully:
im kyle scully, age 16 from langley b.c.
Rftp:
how is the street scene out in langley?
Scully:
its really non-exsistant, there is a select few riders in langley that actually ride street. i mostly just ride with the boys out in poco
Rftp:
i see your most of your pictures are at walnut grove skatepark, do you ride there often?
Scully:
ya, i live only a few minutes ride away from it. it was the first park i ever rode in and im still finding new lines there today
Rftp:
how long would you say you've been riding street?
Scully:
like seriously riding street?
Rftp:
riding bicycles as well as serious street
Scully:
ive been riding mountain bikes for about 4 years and started riding alot of street about a year and a bit ago
Rftp:
what made you adopt street riding?
Scully:
well. theres a few reasons. the first one was living soo close to the skatepark so i could ride there alot, without having to get driven somewhere like the shore. Another reason would be is that i ride with alot of bmxers becuase there arnt many mtb street riders around here, i really like riding with bmxers, we feed off eachother.
Rftp:
:)
Rftp:
what do you do outside of mountain biking?
Scully:
alot of snowboarding, school, chillin, and the occasional x-treme scooter sesh
Rftp:
what was the first bike you ever owned?
Scully:
my first mtb was a giant atx 840. i was stoked on it...... until i broke 3 of them.
Rftp:
lets talk about your lucrative sponsorship dealings, who hooks you up?
Scully:
.243 racing has been great to me so far, Eric Fox is definently one of the nicest guys in the biz. recently i was hooked up by MRP, thanks to Eric Davies. also rockers, coming soon.....
Rftp:
speaking of rockers.. tell us about wordemup and how you're affiliated with them
Scully:

Rftp:

Rftp:
