Wade Simmons interview redux

cam@nsmb.com · 02-06-2003, 12:58 AM

On Friday Wade and I are going for a ride (I've never ridden with him before so I'm stoked!) and then we are going to revisit the interview we did back in the spring of 2000.

I thought it might be cool to give you keeners a chance to let me know what you would like me to ask.

I'm not guaranteeing that I will use any of them but if they are good I just might.

Thanks
Cam

What do you think it's gonna take to get names like Klassen, Leech, Simmons, Bender...etc household names like it is in the world of skateboarding and BMX. A lot of people know who Hawk and Mirra are so what do you think needs to be done for the sport of mountain biking to become more well know in people's everday lives?

ask about the whole new-school bikes, as in dual 24s, single speed rear brake only, what he thinks about the big shift to street/urban riding

ya hear?

Who is your physio?
Are you going to be more careful from now on?
Did you get some kind of disability insurance for the time you couldn't work?

Scarface · 02-06-2003, 01:21 AM

Ask him: "Don't you think Guns N' Roses rule?"

Infamous · 02-06-2003, 02:07 AM

ask him when he hopes to be back riding

IFO · 02-06-2003, 02:11 AM

ask him if i can have his "prototype" Spinergy wheelset when he's done with em...

it'll be good for his karma...

let me know...

Alexey · 02-06-2003, 02:52 AM

ask him

will you be more, less or just as hardcore as you were before the injury?

and ya wen are those wheels coming out?

Zaskar · 02-06-2003, 03:09 AM

ask him if he sees himself starting to take a step back from the spotlight in biking as new up and comers are pushing their ways up the ranks?

as well if his injury has affected his riding mentality at all, if he sees himself as hitting his peak or if he still has new and inventive riding to throw out at us?

...i sure hope wade keeps biking for years to come

Pat T. · 02-06-2003, 03:33 AM

I'd like to know where he thinks the industry is going, where he would like it to go, and what changes he would like to see in current bike design. Also when do we get to see him on a trail day, that'd be sure to be a huge turn out

CheeseDogs · 02-06-2003, 04:50 AM

what have u been up too.

DangerBoy · 02-06-2003, 04:55 AM

Ask him what he thinks about the new school street scene.
Ask him what he thinks of Darren Berrecloth
Ask him if he thinks Led Zepplin - Stairway to Heaven is the best song in the world<-----this one is important
