Jonny
Intro!
Alreet; ma name's Jonny, I come from Giffnock and I'm 18 years old.

And erm...oh one second [to Graham] - could you turn the cooker off? [Kettle whistles]
Graham:
That sounds like a bloody ship!

How long have you been riding?
Three years at Christmas. So just over [three years].

How did you get into it?
I used to see Graham going about Giffnock and then I decided to just buy a bike and that was around November, so I got it for Christmas and I've been riding ever since.

So Graham's your life inspiration?
[Laughs] Yeah.

Your spiritual leader.
[Laughs] 'The Guru'.

How did you get so big?
Drank my milk, I guess.
Graham: And I obviously didn't! [laughs]
You do have an obvious calcium deficiency.
Graham: Well I am lactose-intolerant [laughs].

Do you reckon you could beat Dave Sowerby in an arm wrestle?
With ease [laughs].

How long have you been in love with Edwin Delarosa?
[laughs]Since I first saw Road Fools. He's just [sighs]...can't explain it.

He's SO HOT right now!
[Laughs]
Does he know of your infatuation?
Yeah.
Do you stalk him?
Every day [laughs].

Which other riders do you like?
Anyone who's original, like Ratboy and just anyone brakeless almost. I just like the style, it's so smooth.

Fo shizzle! How long have you been brakeless?
About two and a half years. My brakes never used to work and then I went to Livi and saw Hoffman with no brakes and thought 'you don't even need them.' So I just battered them off.
