Q and A with Corey Jordan

1. Name, Age, Occupation?
Corey L Jordan, 30 years old, I'm a wrench at Northeast Cycles.

2. Were do you live?
St Petersburg, Florida

3. What are you riding these days?
A custom Spicer Cycles.

4. Favorite city to ride in? Why?
Downtown LA, because you can get hurt in traffic if you don't no what fuck your doing!

5. Over the last 5 years, the whole fixed gear/singlespeed scene has blown up. What is your opinion on this mass movement?
Well, I know you know you hear this one a lot ( I'm down for any thing that gets people out on bikes) But the truth is I think Florida's cycling community is either one way or the other, there's not a lot of diversity. The Fixed gear is the latest. I think a lot of kids are thinking at first that the bike is an enhancement to their swagger. May it not be for a more righteous reason other than the bike looks cool and all their friends ride them. I like to think of it this way. People that might have got into riding track bikes for the wrong reason nine times out of ten either give up or really fall in love with cycling and that's one of the most positive things about the revival of the fixed wheel. Not to mention what it has done for the industry as well . So hopefully as we muter as a community our love for many different types of bikes will as well.

6. Tells us about Black Mass. Will there be a Black Mass 4?
The Black Mass started out as a Halloween ride slash race that was a group ride to the start of the drag race and it was locals only . The second one was the start of the costume contest Mr.Davis of 66Fixed won that race. The third had an unexpected turnout. We planed for seventy five, we got a hundred .We had to print more manifests up at the last minute and we didn't have enough spoke cards. So that's when I decided to make people race for their card and you only got one if you had a completed manifest and came in at reasonable place. So sorry to all those bitch ass kids that didn't get no spoke card or free pizza go suck it! And yes their will be a four so all you haters either stay quiet or stay home!

7. Beverage of choice?
Arizona Ice Tea. duh!

8. Music of choice?
Weedeater.

9. What bothers you the most about all the separation between the polo kids, the tricksters, and the riders?

Well its like Islam,Christianity and Judaism. I don't believe in organised religion

10. What can we expect to see from Corey in the future?
More of me being awesome!

11. Is there anything else that you would like to add?
Yeah, fuck Zack Fortune!

Corey is full of win! He and Mike throw awesome alleycats (if not a little painful at times...in a good way of course though). I didn't get a spoke card OR pizza at Black Mass and I still had a blast!

Great Interview. Met Corey one random night in St Pete, gotta thank him for getting my thinking about riding fixed. Definitely am one of the ones that fell in love with my bike
