Parts you go through most often?
Kenny: Tires, grips, pedals, tubes & brake cables.
What sort of riding do you do most of the time?
Kenny: Mix of everything, park, vert, street, some flatland and a little breakdance.
Any special reason for the soft seat?
Kenny: I like it because when you are waiting to do a run you can relax a little.
Nice sticker on the fork steerer tube!
Kenny: Thanks! It was going to be a naked girl, when I spin the bars 1/2 she'd be in a bikini, spin 1/2 more and she'd be naked ha ha. My kids might not understand.
Are you picky on how the bike rolls?
Kenny: Yes, I treat it like a jet airplane, all systems have to work.
What tire pressure do you run?
Kenny: 95-100 psi
What are the modifications you made to your bike?
Kenny: I had a friend make special chain tensioners so that the wheel tracks perfect, no bolts to adjust.
