So Tony, we have recently been getting the chance to work together and this trip to Puerto Rico was definitely one for the books. You filmed your frame promo while we were there and now lets give some insight to how this all came to fruition. Start by telling us how old are you and where you are from originally.

I'm 26 years old and I am from the Midwest, Illinois to be exact... I have lived in Arizona for the past few years.

When did the first set of beverage frames originally come about?

I think it was the end of 2012. Not 100% on that but I know the promo for that came out early 2013.

How did your frame come to life through BSD?

Well, Grant (BSD owner) and I discussed it a couple years into my (7 year) involvement with the company but waited quite a while before pulling the trigger. That would have been around 2010 when we first brought it up, that was even before Reed and David were even around. The Beverage and the Raider ended up dropping the same time a couple years later.

What is BSD to you?

A high end BMX bike company. Haha actually I'm not sure. Sounds like an experimental drug.

Why did this specific color way attract you to Puerto Rico to film for your frame promo?

Well, once we based it off Fiji water I knew I wanted to go somewhere tropical. What better then an island surrounded by water?

Was the recent BSD blue made just for the water beverage edition? Safari pedals, paley grips, bars, tires?

Yeah it was actually! Grant and I were once again discussing new things for BSD and eventually got around to tires. Alex's Donnasqueak tires had just came out and we already had grey and red ones. I was thinking of my new color scheme and knew right away that if we went with the Fiji themed graphics I would want blue tires and a blue seat. Once we finalized the frame we finalized the blue!

What specific geometry changes were made in this issue of the Beverage?

Ummm... The rear end is wider for fatter tires and we made the head tube a bit steeper for noza's and we thickened up the tubing a bit for strength.

Is there any change in your life style since the first "Jameson" colorway was released? Given the change from whiskey to water?

Hahaha loads man! I still drink a fair amount of Whiskey but I mainly drink water. Over the years I've gotten really into spring water and finding springs. From that I've grown a much larger appreciation for water. If I'm not drinking water I'm normally drinking cold pressed juice with a scoop of RAWr superfoods.
