ZAK EARLEY INTERVIEW

Location: Eliot, ME
Age: 17
Occupation:
Too young for one!

Describe the worst haircut you’ve ever had.
From 3rd to 5th grade I had a legit
bowl cut that straight up couldn't be
beat. It was pretty bad.

If you had a signature frame, what would you call it?
The Rootbeer Float

Which other BMX team would you most like to challenge to a wrestling match?
Probably the Kink team cause they've
got skinny dudes like me. So I
wouldn't get annihilated too badly.

What’s your best move off of a diving board? Soaking the fully clothed
bystandards that were standing just
a little too close.

What trick have you always wanted
to see get done?
Heelclicker tailwhip. I would be so
siked, and partially stunned.

What is your spirit animal?
A sloth, because they're all about
chilling.

What is your secret talent?
I can fall asleep anywhere, anytime.
It makes long uncomfortable drives
amazing.

 

What is the weirdest thing you have
seen Sam do?
Everytime he eats that crazy raw meat!

What are your hobbies outside of
BMX? You are not allowed to say photography or skateboarding.
Roasting dirtbikes, those things are
insane. I like sailing and watersports
too.

Have you ever eaten something out
of a trash can? What was it?
How did it taste?
I'm proud that I haven't been that
desperate yet.

What is your most prized possession?
My box of Cheez-its. And me and
my dad's yz 250.

What was the most trouble you ever
got into in school?
In 5th grade I snuck into the teacher's
room and bought myself a twix bar.
My teacher caught me and took the
twix bar. And then gave it back to me
at the end of the day. It was all melted
and I was not siked.

Do you personally know anyone who
has genitalia tattooed on their body?
Not that I know of.

 

If the entire Tree Team was dead
tired, in the van, hundreds of miles
away from home. Who would you
trust to drive all night to get you
home? Who would be the first to
fall asleep at the wheel?
I'd put myself at the wheel first. First
to fall asleep would probably by Ty.
He'd probably forget he was driving
or something.

 

Tell me something funny about one
of your parents.
My dad use to be in the marching
band and he called double whips
720 bike turns.

What are you going to name your autobiography?
"Stunned from Being So Siked"

How many times have you been
to the emergency room?
For an injury I think 5 times. But
countless times between me, my dad,
and my little brother. We love getting
broke off.

 

What is the strangest thing you have
ever eaten?
The countless meals of brown goo
at Indian restaurants on the Tree trip.

 

Who is your favorite fictional
character from any movie, book, television show, play, puppet show, video game, etc.?
The giant yellow frog from gulla
gulla island. I always wanted to meet
that buddy.

 

What's the worst job you have ever
had?
Washing pots and pans while being
a dishdawg at Woodward. But it's
definitely worth it.

What is your favorite food?
Cheez-its and philly cheese steaks.

What is your least favorite food?
Twizzlers and salad.

Who is your celebrity crush?
The lead singer of Paramore is pretty
damn good looking. And I think she's
17 too...

 

Have you ever been attacked by a
wild animal?
No, but my little brother got attacked
by a dog recently. She he wins.
