Get out there, find some wet and do some skids. Maybe even splash your buddy !

Locals: Linden Legros

I am not sure if I've ever met Linden, but he always hash tags on his Instagram account #bmxgallery4130 so I see what he is up to on a daily basis. Living in Golden where it snows a ton in the winter. Linden would post pics doing a barspin in Sorels! We wanted to find out more and what Golden is really like. Enjoy.

Name age where do u live? My name is Linden Legros, im 14 years old and I live in Golden, British Columbia.

What got you into bmx? Ive always ridden bikes as a kid, when i was about 9 years old my step dad built some dirt jumps in our backyard and i always used to ride those. What really got me into bmx was when i was about 12 years old. I was driving past the skatepark and i saw my friend Sheldon Head do a dipped 360 out of the bank.. from then on i wanted a bmx bike so I saved up my money and finally got myself a 2011 United Supreme SU1. The day i got my bike I had also met my best friend; Dylan Tucker. He was also just starting to ride, so we just tried to progress and have as much fun as we could.. when i moved back to Golden none of my friends rode bikes except for Sheldon so I wasnt super motivated to test my limits... After all the homies got on bikes we just started to chill at the skatepark everyday and try new things. From then on I've just been hanging out with my friends everyday I can to just ride and push myself.

What is the scene like in Golden? The BMX scene in Golden is actually great considering how small the town really is (4 thousand people). There is always a few little kids ripping around the park or on the pump track. Every September there is a competition called the "StompDown" where anybody can sign up to compete against the other riders.. its pretty sick and I think all the riders appreciate what the town has done for them... There are about 10 BMX riders who live here, including me. My applied technology teacher let my friends and I build a box to put at the skatepark, which is pretty sick in my opinion. As it is for street in Golden, there arnt many spots to ride, and the ones you do find need some critical thinking. Across town there was an old motel that burnt down and people have configured it into a street spot with pole jams, boxes, rails and drops. Its pretty fun to ride with the homies.

Many spots? What's your favourite? As I said earlier, there are not many spots to ride. The ones you do manage to find though need some hard thinking to come up with some lines to do. I dont have a favorite street spot in Golden, but in Calgary i would have to say its the red flat rails downtown. Those are really fun to ride.

How many riders are there around you? What motivates you too ride? In the Golden area there are about 10 riders. Not alot but we are all really good friends. My motivation while riding is the homies mostly. We are always playing games of B.I.K.E so most of us are trying something new almost everyday. It's always fun at the park because we are all trying to push eachother with sick lines. Do you ever ride in Calgary or bigger cities? I ride in the Calgary area every summer, and if I go visit im usually on my bike trying to get a session in haha. Ive also been to Invermere a couple times with my friends. Other than that I have not ridden in any other cities but I'm hoping that i'll be able to soon. I love going to new places and meeting new people to ride with.

What are you riding? My set up right now is: Frame: Fiend Embryo 20.5" custom painted Fork: Premium FYB Bars: Premium Lodes 8.75" rise Stem: Kink 50mm Headset: Primo Grips: ODI Tires: Demolition Machete 2.35 Front wheel: Odyssey hazard lite rim laced to an Odyssey Vandero hub Rear wheel: Odyssey hazard lite rim laced to an Odyssey Anitgram hub. LHD Seat: BoneDeth vibrator Seatpost: Fiend Cranks: Demolition Revolt 175mm Sprocket: Demolition Merit 25T Chain: Spank Bottom bracket: Demolition Pedals: Premium pc slims Pegs: Animal Butcher X4

What do you think sets golden apart from other towns in bc? Golden is just a great place to hangout with the homies, all the riders know eachother and like to ride. We have a great skatepark and we are just trying to have fun. Most of the people here are nice, and the cops dont ruin your sessions too often! If you're wearing a helmet then sometimes give you free ice cream coupons which is always a good time in the blazing hot summers here.. the view is amazing, because you're surrounded by mountains and trees. The town is small so it isnt hard to bike across it, and there isnt alot of traffic. Nobody likes when youre trying to film a line and either a car or cop cuts youre session short. 

If there were riders coming through, where should they go ride? I would recommend the skatepark and the skatespot (home made street section) if anybody wanted to ride in Golden. Its always a good time and you're pretty much motivated everyday to ride with the homies. 

Any thanks or shout outs?
I would like to thank my parents first of all for supporting me through all the injuries and broken bikes. I would like to thank Bmx Gallery for having a such a sick shop and letting me do this interview, and I would also like to thank my friends for keeping me motivated to ride. Shout out to my kitty Boots who disapeared a few days ago then came home. i would also like to thank all my followers on instagram for keeping me motivated to post new vids of me progressing. Oh yeah, and shout out to young neck pillow for being beastly as usual.
