Alex Bodnar Bike Check

Alex recently went under knee surgery and is resting with his time off. So I thought why not shoot him an e-mail and see what his set up is like these days. He's got a super clean ride and has been running a freecoaster before it became the latest fad. Check out the parts he is riding after the jump.

Oldest part on your bike?

Stem.

How long have you been running a freecoaster and was there a particular reason you switched to a freecoaster or was it just something you wanted to do?

I have been riding a freecoaster since I started riding. I always watched people like Ian Schwartz and Karl Poynter and their riding made me want to buy a freecoaster only a month after I got my first complete bike. Since then I have ridden a cassette, but it is not as fun for me.

What parts do you go through the most?

I go through seats a lot because my knee brace rips them. Oh and tires.

Your favorite trick?

Tabletop or barspin.

Any crazy stories about your bike?

This one time I was shooting pictures for a bike check and my bike fell in the Delaware River.

Shout outs/Thanks?

I would like to thank Efingers for giving me this opportunity and everyone who has helped me along the way. You guys rule! I would also like to thank my parents for bringing me everywhere to ride when I was younger and supporting me. Oh and Michael Donahue for shooting these rad photos of my bike.
