Why did you start riding bmx bikes?
I was in a car with my family and saw people riding ramps in Jon Shaw's backyard. I asked my parents to stop and let me watch. I thought it was rad! My parents signed a waiver and bought me knee pads and a helmet. It was all down hill from there (haha). I've been riding ever since!!!

Did you ever imagine that you would be riding professionally?
I'm not a Pro, but I hope to be someday! I think it's a matter of dedication and determination! Anyone can do it if they put their mind to it!

Brendan has the skills that thrill!!! Here he makes Clark Kent jealous with a picture perfect superman seat grab!

When you are not riding your bike, how do you enjoy spending your time?
'Spooning' with the other members of the stuntteam (hahaha). Actually I've been starting my own bmx clothing company! I've been spending a lot of time on my laptop and taking photos with my new camera.

If you could tell someone reading this anything, what would it be?
Stay drug free and have fun doing what you love, for me, it's riding my bike!

Is there anyone you would like to thank?
My parents, Jon Shaw, Daven Hallford, Bo Wade, Dan Hubbard and everyone at Creative Sports, Solid Bikes and Gork @ Pryme Protective Gear, and anyone reading this!
