| Rick sat down (virtually) with Benny Polaschek to get the dirt on his new custom ride. This is one serious custom bike check.
1) What is going on in your yard for your riding and are there any plans to add to what you have? I have dirt sculptures. I just got 10 more loads of dirt. I’ll send some photos soon. Bobcat this weekend then a few more months of shaping and It all might be “done”… My friends Dustin and Evan are making a resi box out of dirty old mattresses, that should be interesting.
2) Tell us a short story about your false teeth being entertaining at times. They’re always fun to throw in the bottom of a tall beer, gross some people out, slam er down and magically have teeth again… I’m an idiot. The other day a waitress almost made off with them. I had to yell across the place to get my plate back! close call. 3) What are your riding plans for the summer? Ride the trails, Jonah’s mini, ride the bowl and new vert ramp out at third lair. Hit the streets a few times. Maybe git down to Dport again. 4) Are you ever going to build Carrie her cruiser? yes, send me the parts please!!! I’ll pay you back by fall !!! 5) Who is in your main riding crew? Nick Palmquist, Phil Book, Nick Lucas, Jake P, Dustin Grice, Evan Moyle, Nendza when he’s here, Richie, Timmy J, Ben Austin, Jonah, to name a few.
