............................Kie Ashworth
I first saw Kie ride at the gravity game in 2004. I had never heard of him before that and i was impressed with his tech skills and gutsy riding. Then at the Joondalup festival in 2005 again he ripped up the course and blew me away on his riding. I thought that this young kid had one of the best styles around and I rang him up and asked if he wanted to do some shows with Freestyle now. The trip up to Corrigin for his first show was a long drive. We all got to know each other fairly well. While we were in between show I saw Kie hanging out with this young kid,showing him how to throw stones at a plastic bottle. He looked so comfortable with this young kid, like he was his brother or something. I knew then that Kie was a great rider to have on the team. In the following months we went on many road trips for shows and hanging out with the other squad members. Kie is always a great laugh and hanging out with him is so much fun. Watching him ride is something else. His power, style and flow is so amazing to watch that when ever I
ride with him I am inspired to ride harder. - Shaun Jarvis -

What can you remember most about that first show
I remember running no brakes and the set up was kinda down hill, everytime I would hit the box I would slam my feet down and let them drag to slow me down before the red quater, the red quater was against a fence and on the other
side of that was about large drop. I remember almost going over that many times that day

It changes quiet often. At the moment it's a FBM stair master frame in 20.75, i got federal bars with an awesome paint job Artist-me. FBM forks, 7ka rims, coalition hubs, seat pole clamp sprocket and grips.
Main type of riding
I mostly ride park but i love dirt and lately a fair bit of street
What was your first bike
This little red 16inch, I remember I was learning wheelies, flipped and ripped the seat I cried and my dad duck tapped it back up.
How did you get into riding
I was just interested in the chrome BMX bikes and after I had one for Christmas an older guy in the neighbourhood showed us some things he raced, and I went to my first race meet with him in Kwinana it kinda took from there.
Who has influenced you the most in riding
Defiantly my friends everyone I ride with influences me in a way.

Five things that matter most to you in no order
Bike - Friends - Family - Fun - Memories
Do you like riding in shows or competitions
Hmm i like riding in both, they both have there ups and downs. When they are both done well everyone feeds off each other and there's a cool vibe to each I reckon.
Occupation
Hmm doing shows with Freestyle now gets me some money, working part time in a couple of bike shops.
What do you do in your spare time
Think a little too much. Usually non riding time consists of hacking through the bush 4wheeldriving. Usually me and mates will go to the beach.
Why do you ride
Because it's the most fun ive ever had

What has been your worst injury or injuries
I have broken my right ankle real bad at the trails one afternoon, doctor said it was like a puzzle to put back together, i have had a sprocket go through my stomach gashed it real bad big hole the size of my hand there, over 50 stitches on 3 different layers later im ok. Apart from them just sprains and many many stitches. I hate hanging apart.
What is your most favorite trick at the moment
I never really have one, it will change all the time right now probably a table air when i like the quater
Fashion or function
Function? As long as you are happy wearing what you are then that's fine enough for me though.
Favorite riding spot
Cernotta yard as their trails are fun. I like Mandurah skate park a lot cause all of my friends ride there.
What else do you like to do

Refer to ''what do you do in your spare time''

Ive only just got a music taste after all these years, there's a lot of music, I like it all. I am not just listening to the same genre all day
