Brendon Reith, 17 years young, H-town PA.

2. How did you become interested in BMX?
Well having Swift as my neighbor definitely motivated me alot, once he built a quarter in his drive way their was no looking back.

3. The Infamy video is finally wrapped up and premieres this Saturday at Kung Fu Necktie, are you excited now that everything is finally coming together?
Yeah I’m totally stoked, I can’t wait to get buck with everybody. I’m really glad Ryan came through, Infamy is stronger then ever.

4. There has been alot of hype around the videos release, are you satisfied with how the video turned out?
Definitely, it’s got good riders an great vibes, and I’m pretty stoked on everyone’s part.

5. Did you find yourself pushing harder to film for this section than some of your previous video parts due to the selective nature of the filming process for this video?
Yeah, I tried really hard to come out with a banging part and it worked out real well, we all kinda pushed each other to come out with great sections and it worked out really well.

6. It was recently announced that you will be filming a section for Matt Miller’s upcoming video “Chocolate Truck”, how do you feel about being added to the line-up?
Yes that’s true, I’m so stoked, the whole Chocolate Truck team is amazing, real nice guys, we all kill the streets and are stoked on everything and I love having a good vibe when I’m riding and with those guys its always a party.

7. You’ve acquired the nickname “Bronson” over the last few years, how did that come about and is there any meaning behind it?
I actually have no clue, Ryan and Otto started calling me it and it just kinda stuck.

8. There’s a clip on Youtube.com of you taking a pretty bad spill a few years back on the Spectrum rails, has that incident changed your outlook on handrails at all?
No not at all, if anything it made me like rails more. I <3 rails!

9. There is another video of you with over 31,000 views snapping a frame in half that started an online debate over what frame you were riding, for the record exactly what frame was it?
haha!? it was a Fit Dehart, frame is amazing just can’t handle the streets I guess.

10. Do you ever find yourself stressing a trick or taking things too seriously when it comes to riding?
No,never usually tricks work out for me and if it’s just not working I give it a shot another day, no reason to stress it’s just bike riding.

11. Lately you’ve had a number of good photos turn up online and appeared in a couple of fun little edits, do you find that shooting photos and filming help motivate you?
Definitely, Bunn takes crazy good photos and it makes me stoked on riding.

12. Where are some of your favorite spots to ride?
As long as the whole crews there and were all having a good time it doesn’t matter where, I usually like to cruise the streets of Philly with my boy Fran and look for little nib-jib things, he definitely gets me stoked on riding, we kind of strive off each other, no homo.

13. Outside of riding what occupies your time, work, school, hobbies?
I actually don’t work, school is definitely struggling, I can’t stand that place I’d rather just be gettin’ buck or riding somewhere with my good ass friends.

14. What do you think you will be doing when your done riding BMX?
Smoking cig’s, drinking 40oz’s on my porch, that won’t be ’till I’m like 50 though, haha.
