thank you brian

mr tunney and i share a similar sense of humor. he seems to understand my dry sarcasm that so many people either dont understand or take offense to.. heres 3 examples of what im taking about

EXAMPLE 1.
years ago burger and his buddies had a warehouse in western mass called the ramp farm, sean rudzinsky (who was a pretty well known bmx rider in the new england area and someone i respected and looked up to a bit) brought his girlfriend to the warehouse one night and he introduced me to her "hey eric this is my girlfriend "...."  and i replied   "hey "...." its nice to meet you,your alot prettier than sean descirbed" (she was a babe and her and sean both knew it). he laughed it off and im guessing went home to had a huge fight with her about it, because the following week when i saw him he threatened to beat the shit out of me.( which would probably be the most one sided fight in history ending with me probably dead).


EXAMPLE 2.
after being asked to ride for FBM this year i was also put on a list of people to vote for nora cup awards (like "best dirt jumper,street rider, video, etc...)  Ryan Fudger sent me an email saying something along the lines of " hey man you have been aded to a list of prefessional riders and industry people to vote for the nora cup! etc..etc.." and i replied with " man thats weird to have me vote for that stuff. if kids only knew who was voting for these awards...i just got done eating donuts out of a dumpster..." and then he sent me some weird confused email back that i didnt understand at all and it was one of the worst first conversations i have ever had with someone..

EXAMPLE 3.
i was on an trip with everyone and crandall said in random conversation something like "people sometimes think im an asshole"(or something along those lines) and i replied with "you are an asshole" (which i meant in the best possible way) but it came off as dickhead.. i was never really sure if he knew i was joking about it because i felt super uncomfortable afterwards and no one said anything for a few minutes..

but the point of this post is that Brian shares a similar sarcastic sense of humor (probably not as harsh). but it seems like he understands it for the most part and must understand me enough to think i deserved an interview on the ESPN  website. followed by an email after i filled it out that said " i think im going to post that interview on the site today, are you ready for fame?"   so thank you brian for the interview and thanks everyone who took the time to read it and enjoyed it.
