GD: Hello? |
|
MM: Hello Gregg? |
GD: Hi. |
|
MM: Hi, I’m from
Maryland Motocross.com, got time for a quick interview? |
GD: Oh, yeah sure… |
|
MM: Kewl, I know you have more
than one bike, what kind of bikes do you have? |
GD: Umm. RM 125s and RM 80s. |
|
MM: Really? |
GD: Yeah |
|
MM: Cool…How old are you
and how long have you been in Motocross? |
GD: 15 and about 7 years |
|
MM: Nice, Kewl beans.
Rumor has it that you live near the water, have you ever tried to jump the
river? |
GD:
(Contemplative) Umm.. No, I’m thinking about jumping a 50 in there sometime
this year. |
|
MM: Where do you live? |
GD: Churchton, MD. |
|
MM: Oh, I’ve jumped that
river before… |
GD: (Surprised) Oh… really? |
|
MM: Yeah, I used a
custom bike a 3-stroke 40… |
GD:
(Laughs) A…whaaaat? |
|
MM: A 3 stroke 40…
Custom is the only way to go |
GD: (Snickering) If you say so… |
|
MM: Do you look forward to any
certain tracks or events throughout the year? |
GD: Um…
I kinda look forward to Loretta Lynn’s because all my friends are down there
and it’s pretty fun. |
|
MM: How many injuries have you
sustained throughout the years? |
GD: Oh
yeah. I had a broken knee, I think in 2000 or 99 and I just broke my collar
bone and my foot. |
|
MM: Ouch…What would you say to
those people who do not know who Captain M is? |
GD:
(Short Laugh) I’d tell them they’d better recognize… |
|
MM: Are you planning on
trying to go pro next year? |
GD: I
was actually thinking of going pro when I turn 18. |
|
MM: Is that because of
school or other reasons? |
GD: No, I
just… I think I need more experience… get a couple more years in. |
|
MM: That’s very good, sounds
like you have everything in perspective. |
GD:
(Short laugh) Yeaaah. |
|
MM: Any riders out there who
have influenced your style of riding? |
GD: Um…
I dunno – Travis. He’s always been one of my favorites. Millsaps and Hepler
too. |
|
MM: Wanna hear something funny?
You and my cousin Kevin Duffy have the same last name. |
GD:
(Sarcastically) Oh yeah… cool. |
|
MM: Isn’t that strange? |
GD:
(Sarcastic Laugh) Yeah, just a little bit. |
|
MM: Any bizarre training
methods or techniques that you use when you train or compete? |
GD:
Well…not really. |
|
MM: Are there any
certain energy drinks that you prefer? |
GD: There’s
some stuff that’s called Excess, it’s pretty good, and I think it helps
sometimes. |
|
MM: My-brother-in-law Kevin
Duffy downs those like his life depends on it? |
GD:
(Laugher) |
|
MM: You’ve been to Vegas right?
I saw a picture of you with a lady wearing fruit on her head, what is up
with that? |
GD: I… uh…
don’t know man, I guess that’s how they roll out in Vegas. |
|
MM: Both you and I are
accomplished riders, but do you have any advice for those new to the sport. |
GD: Just have
fun with it… And corners that’s where everyone makes up and gets their time. |
|
MM: And your number 150? |
GD: District
said I could be number one and MA.M.A. said I could be 50, so we combined
them. |
|
MM: Well, thank you for your
time Gregg, maybe if I see you out there, I’ll introduce you to my Dad Kevin
Duffy |
GD:
(Surprised) What did you just say? |
|
MM: (Last comment repeated) |
GD:
(Laughing) Oh…Yeah… definately… |
|
MM: Thanks again for your time. |
GD:
Sure, see you later man… |
