Frenchman Maxime Charveron is one his way back to South Africa to compete in Ultimate X (27 and 28 Feb) and The Night Harvest (6 March) BMX contests. Maxime won both Ultimate X and The Night Harvest contests in 2014 and will be looking to defend his titles. Out to have a good time riding and enjoy a lot of partying we caught up with the pro rider to get his thoughts.
How amped are you to be heading out to South Africa?
I’m so excited! The winter is freezing cold here in France and I can’t wait for good summer vibes.
You will be competing in both Ultimate X and The Night Harvest. How much do you know about these events and what are your thoughts on them?
It was the first time for me last year and it was such a great experience. The course is big at Ultimate X and jumps are amazing at The Night Harvest, it will be a lot a fun for sure again.
One being a park event and the other a dirt event, which are you looking forward to most and why?
To be honest I just want to ride both and do my best so as to avoid been injured. I do love to ride park and dirt anyway so it’s even better when there is my friends with me.
What are you goals for both Ultimate X and The night Harvest?
No idea! We will see who is riding the spot when it’s time for the contest but there is some incredibly good riders coming so I am not sure about doing the same as last year [laughs].
What can fans expect from your riding style at the events?
I will ride as I ride! I don’t like to be under pressure. I want to ride clean and have fun.
You have a big bag of tricks, which new ones are you working on and will we see them in SA?
At the time I am riding a lot of street so I will not do a new crazy trick on the funbox but if I can do some flips I would be stoked.
What are you hoping to experience while over here?
Good times with friends, have an extra summer, enjoy all the beautiful landscape and party a lot.
Any words for the masses that will be out supporting the events and the athletes?
Ultimate X and The Night Harvest are dope so let’s keep rocking all together.
