One of the UK's most talented dirt jumpers and standout member of the DMR squad Jimmy Pratt was treated to a nice little interview over on Pinkbike. See below for some of the highlights - full interview here

Most photos and videos we see of you, you're riding at the “secret” trails. Do you mind giving us some history of those trails? How did they come to be?
These trails are secret their not mine, they're local BMX trails that have been around for a decade or so. I do have my own trails which are very well known in the UK but very little pictures come from there as they're invitation only!

With so many line choices in 1 area, how long would you say the average “session” is for you guys at the secret trails?
It depends on how much light we have after work, the weekends ride for a half hour or so and then chill and dig and then ride some more!

Do you ever feel intimidated riding with no shirt on? (Crashing with no shirt=serious rash)
NO! I ride with no shirt on because I am always hot in the summer but normally I only crash once or twice a year so I don't get hurt really.

Your boost is incredible. Do you have any BMX background?
I tried BMX but didn't like it, I find it very twitchy, I love their style and the way they flow! They inspire me!

Did you attend the Super Session meeting at Woodward West?
I have never been to the states so I reckon no.

What was the first bike you ever owned?
My first bike I won in a fruit squash competition it was very cheap and didn't last long!!

26” wheels or 24”?
24" because it's just a nice bit smaller but not quite 20inch.

If you could ride with anyone, anywhere, where would you go, and with who?
Chase Hawk, Brian Foster, Justin Linman and I always wanted to go to the East Coast of America to go ride all the best trails!

Chase Hawk is known for his huge boost, and incredible flow. Have you ever ridden with him?
NO! But let me know if he is free to ride!

Wearing a helmet was something that most parents tried to enforce on their kids while they were young. Do you have a rhyme to your reason why do you don't wear a helmet?
I've been riding trails for 11 years and up until last year I always wore a helmet, last year was the exception. It was nice to have the wind in your hair! I will be wearing it a lot more again this year!
