- What were downhill bikes like when you began racing in 1994? What did you want to improve about your bike?
- Your first bike design in 1999, the Big Fat Fatty Fat, had 12 inches of travel front and rear. How did that work?
- You competed on some of your own bikes in Red Bull Rampage, including at the first competition ever in 2001. What was it like? How did it compare to today's spectacle?
- Why do you think there aren't many (any?) dedicated freeride bikes on the market today?
- What makes the Canfield Balance Formula (CBF) suspension design different from others on the market?
- Is CBF better suited for certain applications or travel ranges?
- Why are you such a proponent of shorter cranks for mountain biking?
- How has Canfield been affected by industry supply fluctuations over the past few years?
