We came across this sweet little web video of BMX rider Jason Prins sessioning some of his local spots in the Cape and put together a quick interview for him to answer. Watch the video and see what he had to say about it:
How long have you been riding for?
I have been riding for 3 years and I’ve been loving it ever since.
How often do you get to ride?
I ride at least 3-4 times a week depending on the amount of school work I have to complete.
Tell us about your web video, where was it filmed and how long did it take?
Clint Jacobs asked me if I wanted film a short web video for Evals BMX, I was very much excited to do it. We filmed the edit over the course of 4 days, although we could not continue filming due to injuries.
What were you trying to capture in the video?
We filmed at Kromboom Park, Goodwood, Maitland Skate Park and Town.
Which part of the video is your favourite and why?
My favourite part about the video is the part where I fell and said “I have a kopswell, I have a headache”, it indicates that I am not a serious rider, the main reason that I love riding is because it fills my heart with joy, so to me it’s not about the tricks, it’s all about having fun.
Which was the hardest trick to land?
The only trick I struggled with was the 720 at Kromboom park, it was quite difficult to land as I did not get enough air, I was pretty stoked on landing it.
