How did you get into BMX?
When I was 12 years old I build a BMX track near my house and started riding for fun, later on I got into the racing scene.

What was your first BMX?
Mongoose Motivater (heaviest bike ever lol)

What do you like the most about BMX?
Pretty much everything, the adrenaline, training on my bike.

How come you started riding for Hong Kong?
Because my father is Chinese and the funding of the Hong Kong cycling team was a lot better than the team of Belgium.

What was the best thing that happened to you in 2007?
2007 wasn't the best year for me. I broke my knee so didn't race big races for a few months.

What were your favourite places that you visited in 2007?
Australia was awesome and the Asian Championships in Thailand.

How many flights did you take in 2007?
I don't know but a LOT I can tell you that.


Are you in pretty good shape for the upcoming races?
I feel pretty good on my bikes the last few months but I am still trying to improve everything.

Is there any word of Hong Kong being selected for the Olympics?
No not really...Hong Kong has a chance to get a wild card...but as Hong Kong is part of China, China will decide who gets it.

What are your plans for 2008?
Try to get my UCI points done and try and go to the olympics.

How does a normal week look like with you? (training)
Just the normal things everybody else does I guess. Gym, sprints, track, gates, plyo's and what not.

What do you do in the weekends?
Most of the time the weekends are for racing...if there is no race I'll just fill it in with some training and easy riding on the track.

Do you ride in a team, which team and who are your team mates?
I don't really ride for a team anymore. I'm pretty much a private rider for meybo with my own sponsors.

Free Agent is going BIG for the Olympic year and will be sending this rig to as many nationals as they can cram in. You gotta go big when you have Kyle Bennett, the World Champion and NBL Pro Champion on the team! Not to mention a handful of the Worlds top guns like Dale Holmes, Cristian Becerine, Tomas Hamon, Ramiro Marino and Caroline Buchanan who also frequent the US National scene.
