Jarno:
When are you guys off again? (such a nice intro question to the magic man, hehe)
Bryan:
We will leave tomorrow morning, this is the last thing we do here.
J:
And then, straight back home?
B:
Yep
J:
What do you consider your best trick ever landed?
B:
Probably a nollie inward heelflip down the Macba 4 in Barcelona.
J:
That shot from Baker 3?
B:
Yes, that is my best option I think.
J:
Does Braydon snore?
B:
I really wouldn't know, I am such a heavy sleeper myself, I would never notice if anyone would snore. But just make that a yes for on the website, haha.
J:
What is your biggest passion besides skateboarding?
B:
Hehe, I really enjoy chilling out and just having a good time with my mates.
J:
How many times have you been in Holland?
B:
Euh , two, no three times now, we have made several trips here before, been to lots of crazy spots, a couple of nice skateparks, but this is by far the longest trip!
J:
You’ve skated The Yard before, right?
B:
Yes, I have been here before.
J:
When you were here the last time you did the watergap as well didn't you?
B:
Yes that's true, I landed a 360 flip that time.
J:
How do you do your steezy hardflips?

B:
I don't know man, everyone knows how to do them here, all Dutch skateboarders know how to do a hardflip. I just do them like a frontside shuve-it with a little kick in the middle, it's freaking easy!
J:
Jacko is wondering: Do you skate every day?
B:
Yeah, I actually skate every day.
J:
Are you filming for a part here?
B:
We are always filming parts man, we film till we can't stand no more. There is always a new film coming out, and we always bring people with cameras with us.
J:
A Dutch readers asks (female) Have you ever been to bed with a Dutch girl?
B: (laughs) No, ah wait, yes I did actually.
J: What, this week?
B:
Hehe, no three years ago, no 4 years ago, I was 16 years old then and that was my first visit to Holland. She was 18 man, I was stoked!
J:
Was her name Marloes?
B:
Hehe, I really don't remember....
J:
Wait, I have her number for you right here....
B:
What? For real? (He bends over to check my papers), hehe.
J:
Hehe, Gotcha. Who gets all the ladies? Leo Romero or Spanky?
B:
Spanky man, he is way ahead, he gets all the chicks!!!
It's important keeping the tongue straight

J:
Pick your favorite:: Flip fs crooks or flip fs nosegrind?
B:
Fs nosegrinds…..yes …kickflip frontside nosegrind.
J:
Let's talk about The Yard, what do you think about this spot being demolished?
B:
It's a bummer man, a big time bummer. These spots are the best man, you know the local underground places. This is a real good place for the local kids eh? I can see that this spot makes a lot of the Dutch skaters good!
J: Have you ever been inside?
B: No, I have never been inside before. This is my third time, but I was never inside.
J:
That's shocking dude!
B:
Hehe, Yes I know man. Is the skatepark all closed down inside now?
J:
Yes, it has been closed for about 4 months or so.
End of part 1, look out for part 2!
