Haro: Dennis whats been happening since the 2011 contest season has eased off?Dennis: It's been a really fun winter so far. I've been working hard on getting the MARKIT video done and getting the whole crew together on some good trips. Other than filming and shredding the La Mesa ramps I've been on a few good snowboarding trips up to the local mountains, skating the cement park by my house at night, chilling with my good friends from my area, and laughing at Ronnie (Napolitan) and his inner neat freak cleaning the house all day everyday. The house looks amazing since he moved in 4 months ago haha.
Haro: How's your signature Haro frame going? Any changes coming up?
Dennis: It's going good as ever, strong, sturdy, light, and built for fun. I'm hoping to change the colors and tweak a couple things soon but Allan said they have to sell out fist, so buy up kids and the new colors will come.
Haro: When was the last time you scared your self riding?
Dennis: Pretty much every time we go on a trip I find something that has scared me and have got the butterflies in my stomach going nuts. I like it though it makes it way more rewarding to get the clip when you really don't know if you can get it or not.
Haro: There seems
like a million good kids coming up in BMX right now, what's it going to take for someone to make it?Dennis: There is a ton of new talent in BMX right now it seems really hard for anyone coming up to even get noticed. I think it takes being well rounded, having your own steez, being original, and having a good attitude. Pretty much just look at Chad Kerley. He's got all that I just listed and more, now he has the dopest sponsors and is traveling the world with some of the biggest names in BMX. Take notes kiddies.
Haro: What's coming up for you?Dennis: These next couple months for me are going to be spent mostly in Texas. I'm going to San Antonio with the Nike team to film and shoot some adds, then straight from there I'm going to Austin to hopefully finish a Haro web video me and T-O (Terrell Gordy) have been slowly working on. After that I come home for a couple weeks and have to get the MARKIT Rig all dialed in for a two week road trip back to Austin, Texas.
