How did you get into BMX?

Lily: I went to summer camp at Joyride 150 and I really liked biking so I bought my own bike and got a membership. And I now ride every day. The bike was like $400 and I got a bunch of new parts to make it lighter. I wouldn’t be able to clear big ramps or do good tricks; it’s just harder with a heavy bike.

How long have you been riding?

Lily: 6 months

What are your favourite places to practice?

Lily: Joyride 150.

Who inspires you to ride?

Lily: Drew Bezanson’s really inspiring. He is my favourite rider.

And your favourite female rider?

Lily: Peta Shephard.

How about competing, did you enjoy the Spring Toronto BMX Jam?

Lily: Yeah, it’s been really fun!
