8. Steve McCann

   Twelve years total. I raced some of those years, but not much—maybe 20races total. But I did go to the track to do gates every night.

   Favorite place to ride:

10. Steve McCann

    Right now it’s The Flow in Columbus, Ohio, but in general the seven-foot spine at Woodward.

    Favorite type of riding

12. Steve McCann

    It’s a toss-up between vert and street right now, or park riding, I guess you should say.” What are you looking forward to this year: “I’d say the Dew Action Sports Tour; I want to see what that’s all about. I’m looking forward to Germany for an LG event, too.

    Hobbies off the bike:

14. Steve McCann

    I just bought a jet ski and I like to go surfing and. The jet ski makes surfing a lot easier, too. It’s in giant waves or anything, but having one person tow you out makes it a lot more fun than paddling.

    Favorite people to ride with:

16. Steve McCann

    Jamie Bestwick, Alistair Whitton, and Andy Alvarez; Just they talk so much trash that you can’t even ride because it’s so funny.

    Contest you were psyched on:

18. Steve McCann

    Gravity Games dirt last year, but I was most psyched on my run after the contest. I think contests are important; I like the challenge of seeing how well I can do, but at the end of the day it’s another weekend. The contest is just putting it together on that day.”

    Bell Moment:

24. Steve McCann

    Last year in Brazil I was riding and there was dew coming off the ocean and getting on the ramp. My front wheel washed out on one of my highest airs and the first thing to hit was my head. Also, that 720 at the Vans Triple Crown in Oceanside last year… That cracked the inside of my helmet, so without my helmet I would have been done for.
