Biggest win in C-LO? Biggest loss?

About $450 is my best night at C-LO, used to to buy an iPod, and my worst loss is $200. There are countless times I am up $50-150, and countless times I give money to Kip. Blackjack is my favorite. My best night there is $1850 up and my worst is $1900 down; the bad part was pulling money of a credit card to keep playing. Overall I am up gambling. Addictions are bad.

Is it true you started the trend of pink in BMX almost 15 years ago, under the moniker "Florida Dave"?

Sorta. Back in the day when I was on the Florida GT team and I needed a new bike, when it came the box said red. I had wanted one ever since I saw the first GT world tour. Eddie Fiola had a candy apple red bike. When I opened the box the bike was a hot pink color. I was bummed. I tried to claim it a red bike, but over the over the years I have come to terms that is was pink. It was "Melbourne Dave", coined by Mitch Collins.

How many times have you had a gun pulled on you?

Twice. The first was in Dallas. The first Hoffman contest. And the second was in L.A. Third time's a charm.

What countries have you ridden your bike in?

Canada, Brazil, Austraila, England, Switzerland.

Ever seen a midget in full sprint?

Yes, at the Gravity Games in Rhode Island. He sprinted through the crowd, across the street and dissappered. Also, I did see a migdet on a BMX bike. I tried for like 15 minutes to take a photo of him without getting caught. I got the photo and I got busted doing it.

Have you ever pissed on a rollerblader?

At one of X-trial contests they had a party in the hotel bar for the riders. One of the rollerbladers was laying in the stall hugging the toilet, I can in a relieved myself on him. He said "DUDE, Stop pissing on me!"

Go!, Freestylin', Bmx Plus!, or American Freestyler?

I got my first photo in Plus! as a 15 year old racer at a race in Hawaii, doing a Hawaii style tabletop. Go! and Freestylin' were both great magazines back in the day. I didn't see too much of American Freestyler.

Last words?

Always split aces
