TONY NEYER INTERVIEW......

1) You have been on Sputnic for a while now. How did that come about?
I guess I was just in the right place at the right time. Ronnie B told me his plan and who he wanted involved and I know it couldn't go wrong.

2) Your signature frame and bars are about to hit the UK, tell us a little about them?
Man, the frame and bars turned out so good. Its a nice low, light and clean frame keeping your bike as simple as possible. the frame with come in two versions one with brakes and one with out. it comes in 20.3, 20.6, and 21. with a 75 degree head tube and a 13.75 back end. the bars are 8in tall and 27 and a half inches wide. what unique about these bars is the exterior butted cross bar. it looks amazing.

3) Where did the name Skyline come from, the car?
haha no. a lot of people thinks its because of this Chili restaurant called Skyline that's originally from Cincinnati but that's not true either. the reason I named it The Skyline is because Cincinnati has an amazing looking downtown and when I would be on long road trips and would finally get to go home seeing downtown was always the thing that made me realize I was finally home. its awesome.

4) You were hurt recently, are you back on your bike now?
Yeah I'm riding again. I was actually getting over 3 injuries foot hand and wrist. it wasn't the best 2 months of my life. I broke that scaphoid bone in my wrist so that's still broke and I'm trying to get surgery sometime in the near future. it still hurts but not all the time just depends how I fall on it.

5) What do you do when you're not riding your bike?
hang with my family and friends, go to bars, play some kind of game system and I'm always watching movies

7) What do you enjoy most, park or street?
Street forsure but I still love to ride park

8) Describe a day in the life of Tony Neyer.....
It use to be a lot different but lately its been wake up at 10 -10:30 shower while brewing some coffee, answer some emails, find out who's riding and go ride. usually if I'm going to ride alone ill go to the skatepark but if I find a few people to ride with its defiantly street. sometimes it gets hard to find people to ride with cause everyone here works or goes to school but its alright. then after riding hit the up some food and come home and chill with my roommates Keith and Joey or go hang with some other friends.

9) Do you have anything coming up in the near future; riding tips, Video parts etc?
Yeah forsure. I'm actually going to move to LA for a few months for the winter just to escape from the cold for the first time in my life. might as well do it while I can. other than that. I'm sure ill go on a few trips here in the next couple of months nothing crazy big as of right now.
