6 Questions With Jared Washington



Jared's one of the best street riders out which might explain why he's sponsored by Federal and Animal. His crew Rodeo Peanut just dropped their new mixtape and I got at him for a few questions.

1) So what can people who buy this project expect? Is it officially a video or a mixtape?


They can expect to get a pretty good video for under 10 dollars. This is definately a mixtape, no parts, no names on the clips, it's just a bunch of footage we compiled over the spring. When we would get out of class or work we would go hangout and ride and film, eventually the footage started adding up on the computer and we decided to make a small video. We just wanted to make a video that was straight forward and would get you pysched on just going riding. The whole video was done by my boy Evan Nutt, he gets the credit for it.

2) Who is in charge of Rodeo Peanut and who stars in the video?


I dont even know what Rodeo Peanut is honestly. Like 5 years ago I was sitting in class and I think I got a text message from Chris Reyes saying that Rodeo Peanut would be a funny name for a company or something and it kinda just stuck as a joke, we made a name for ourselves pissing some people off when we were younger, but Rodeo Peanut doesn't really exist. The video consists of riders like Mike Brennan, Chris Reyes, Brian Tunney, myself, Gallop, Alfredo "The Fridge" Wilson, Evan Nutt, Tom White, Quiet Chris, Edwin, Rat kid, Little Jeff, Roman Stefaniew, Dominic Biro and Jesse Dewlow.

3) Does Paul Horan have many clips in the video? When can we expect to see him killing street again?


Nah unfortunately theres no Paul Horan clips in this one. We'll see him killing it again before we even know it, if he's good sooner than later.

4) What are the 3 street spots you ride the most?


The black rail, The dime Bank, and Deiner park

5) When you first started getting coverage you had brakes on, now you're
brakeless, are they gone for good? Are the dreads gone for good?

The Dreads are most definitely gone for good, should have been gone a lot sooner but it took me a while to see the light... as for brakes I was pretty much always brakeless on and off back then and happened to have them on when I first started to get coverage, I stopped using them because I couldn't help but land with my hand on the lever while doing barspins, other than that i like them, bike riding does feel a lot better though with out a lever on your bars though and I can not see myself ever putting them back on.

6) Where can people get the mixtape?


They can get it through Animal.

Thanks Jared.

The video isn't listed on the Animal site officially yet so just shoot them an email at info@animalbikes.com and tell them you want to buy it. And buy some shirts and parts too while you're at it ya cheap fucks.
