Stoked to see Dig just posted the interview they did with Steven Hamilton a couple issues back. It’s been awesome to see him on the comeback trail in the past year, culminating with an amazing final section in Animal’s QSS #5. This is definitely a good read, setting the record straight about everything from his top tube size over the years to his interview in the first issue of The Albion.

“The situation with that for me was I didn’t know anything about the magazine; it was the first issue. He (Steve Bancroft) kept trying to get me to have an interview, and I really didn’t want to, because I didn’t know what the magazine was going to be about. The guys at Federal kept asking me to do it. They were my sponsor, and I figured it was my job to have an interview in the magazine. They said Mat Hoffman was having an interview in there also, so I thought that was pretty cool. I didn’t go in a hundred percent on it. I didn’t know the dude, and I had no idea about the magazine. It could have turned out to be some crappy magazine, so I gave him like 50 percent on it. I went out and rode for him, but he said the pictures weren’t very good. It was also freezing cold. It was funny that he wanted to come to Ohio in the middle of the winter to shoot a street interview. But I thought it was cool to do something different, but apparently he didn’t like it.”
