First-hand | Floyd
Interview and photos by Brian Barnhart and Grady Corbitt
Andy “Floyd” Erickson is a refreshing site in the sea of new school street riders. He has all the tech moves under his belt, but is not affraid to fire out some big gaps when the opportunity arrises. I have even seen him ride some trails too. He spent some time in NYC the last two summers while visiting his old homie Grady. He seemed to be on a mission to shred, while not taking things too seriously. Back at home he has a nack for finding backyard pools and new street spots, and claims Tucson, AZ has it all. Floyd is in the process of producing a video under the name Krimzen. Check out his blog for some interesting, funny, and random stuff at krimzenbmx.blogspot.com and be on the look out for the Krimzen DVD. Be sure to check out the Krimzen promo entitiled “Jerry’s Vid”. -Briz
