Name: Kip Williamson aka Tito Rodriguez
Age: 33

BMX eBay store
Years riding: 21.5 years - My first flatland bike was purchased in November
1986
Favorite trick: It changes every day I ride! No handed hang 10s in circles.
Rolling tricks are a lot of fun too! Now that I'm not COOPED up in a garage
all winter I get a chance to roll around more!
Hardest trick: Elbows on the table hang nothing because no matter how
dialed, or how long you do the trick, it still hurts pretty bad when you crash.
Usually you don't see it coming, and next thing you know you are on the
ground! Tough to get your hands out on that one!
Bike specs: MASTER BIKES Piggy Pro Model Frame (Marcos Paulo De
Jesus) from Brazil.
Trick working on: It changes every day but latley No handed hitchhiker
inside circles, trying to learn some fun backwheel stuff too.
Favorite food: mexican and japanese:...... italian is pretty good too!
Favorite flat memory: Winning ESPN AM flat contest in St. Pete FL and
beating Terry Adams. That's the last time that will happen!
Last music you purchased: Cut Chemist "The Litmus Test"
Where you see flatland in the future: More jams! The sport will continue to
be more organized as the riders continue to take things into their own
hands.
Favorite place lived: Maitlando, FL Moved here from Fort Wayne Indiana
12 years ago and never looked back! Warm weather year round!
Worst job: I worked in a factory sand blasting celenoids 8 hours a day!
Good thing that only lasted about 2 months or I would have gone crazy!
Favorite movie: Ali G, Borat, Talladega Nights, and the HBO series Flight
Of The Conchords. Oh yeah, STAR WARS too!
Favorite riders: Anyone that can bust out with enthusiasm. Of course hard
tricks are dope, but seeing a kid do a wheelie with a smile on his face is
equally cool! It's not the tricks, but the style that goes into the moves!
Anyone you want to thank: My girl April, she's the best support ever! My
Mom and Dad for taking me to contests and paying for all my bikes,
clothing, and gear when I was younger. I'd also like to thank Chad Degroot,
UGP, John Povah at Etnies, Eric at Primo, Ronnie and Rachel B at
SHADOW/Sparkys, Stiff's Posse and the 2 JA Crew including Steve Mulder,
Bill Nitschke, Perry Mervar, and Roman Schiavarelli. Also like to thank Rob
Nolli, Dave Brumlow, Aaron Behnke, Andy Cooper, Bob Walter, Mike
Andrews, MidWest-Flat.com, Jake Jackson for this interview, and
Chewbacca for letting me borrow the Millenium Falcon!
