Each issue we invite the Seabreeze forum posters to ask the interview questions to the feature Pro Rider.

So fire away and hit us with your questions for Andy -

Could be a great chance to find out the inside scoop on the pro circuit - what its like to compete at that level, how tough it has been to break into the circuit and why Hadlow is so tough to beat etc


We have about 2 weeks to post your questions just hit reply and we'll gather them here and then shoot to then Andy.

What are you working on at the moment?
Any kitemares or serious spankings to tell of?
Best session you've ever had?
How many handlepasses are too many?
Ever had any food (pizza, burger, drink, etc) named after you?

you and spacey seem to have history.. if you had a choice would you
A) spend a night with spacy in a seedy motel making up with each other
or
B) actually want to see a real life female nipple?

what does it feel like being an alcononic? does it affect your kiting abilities? can you still mobe 10 with a hang over?

what is your opinion on rollerblading versus razor scootering?

Are you sponsered by zooperdoopers yet????

Can you bust out more tricks with your opposite hand
and does that improve your results on tour?

Is toby a douche judge?

What forms of training do you do away from kiting, to help pull your gnarly tricks. Do you find trampoline or wakeboarding a help?
