Coffee with @barrynobles95

You have been in the game for a minute and traveled all over the world.  Tell us about your favorite place you have been to?

I have a few “worst” but not many “the best” I try to make sure each trip tops the last. Greece this year was super rad though. Luckily my girl Caroline is down to ride, so we had scooters for a week and tore up the town haha. 

Best place to get a cup of coffee?

Hahaha a real coffee drinker will hate this. Gotta be Starbucks just because I drink ice coffees and haven’t found an ice coffee yet that taste the same or better and still gives me the same buzz that those do! I’m almost 30, I need the kick in the ass some mornings

Do you get tired of the travel?

Every year by November I’m over it, hahaha. I’ve slowly learned over the years so, I balanced this year well so I was pretty good come November. But I had a lot of chill time after the World Cup season. 

2015 saw some changes for you and how you approached the race circuit.  How are you going to approach 2016?  Are you going to be adding more MTB events? Fest series? 

I lost a lot of passion and fun in Bmx this year that made me go backwards. I worked really hard but the “one focus” just drove me crazy and I stopped enjoying it. That’s when it became a drop. Wether I’m in Rio or not, 2016 is back to living the dream for me. 

I saw that you did your first Heli pilot lesson, is that something that you want to do more of?

That was actually just a meet and greet. Yes I plan to get my heli pilot commercial license. Just fitting it in with time is what I’m waiting for now.
