“Sure I love music, and I love my job here at Zu. But at the end of work I got nothin’ more important than getting to the track and smokin’ all these punk kids that think they know how to ride a motocross track.

“What, are you serious! You really want me to write something? Sean, nobody reads this stuff, and besides I hate this kinda thing. Just let me do my job, with some loud music in the background and don’t tell me to stop talking to James and Chris. Unlike you we can walk and chew gum at the same time.”
