Are you the number-one European rider? I never call myself number one. What I am is one of the best motorcycle entertainers in the world Rock or techno? RockNatural hair color? Brown
Favorite toy? My whole life revolves around the job, which means I don't have any time for anything else. I guess my motorcycle is my favorite toy
If you signed a million-dollar contract, what's the first thing you'd buy? My own practice track
Is your mom proud of you? Yes
What is your motivating force? Ambition
Blondes or brunettes? I don't care!
Where do you see yourself in five years? Still riding Harley-Davidsons and Buells, just a little older
What's the best thing about being Craig Jones? There's only one of me
Which other rider do you respect the most? AC Farias. He started with nothing. He doesn't ask for anything and he just does his thing without a complaint. He doesn't dislike anybody, he just gets on with his job. He's just a very, very nice guy
Any riders you hate? I don't hate any riders. It's pretty pathetic, to be honest-we aren't around long enough to be that concerned about other people
What would you do now if you weren't Craig Jones the performer? I'd be running a very successful electrical and security business. I was running my own business before riding, so that's exactly what I'd do
You're in a gas station; there's a guy holding up the clerk. You see it's a banana in his pocket, not a gun. What do you do?
(Laughing) I'd pay for my petrol and walk out. It's not my problem
Most embarrassing moment? My first appearance in the European Stunt Championships was back in 1998. During my routine I rode my Triumph T509 whilst sitting backward, and I just forgot to turn back around again! Consequently, I bounced off a hay bale, continued out of the arena, took out two of the other riders' bikes, hit the fence the organizer was standing against and threw him into the ambulance! Embarrassing was an understatement at the time, but looking back, this ridiculous accident gave me so much valuable TV exposure over the following few years
Scott "Ski-Ski-Ski-Ski" CarabooladOccupation: Professional house painter, founding member of the Starboyz
Were the Starboyz the first group out with a street stunt video? Yes. Go through your history books. A lot of guys, especially from NYC, are saying this and doing that, but I remember walking into the Javits Center motorcycle expo years ago and seeing those fags trying to ride our coattails
Rock or techno? Both. Depends on what I'm doing
Natural hair color? Green, yellow... I was hatched from an egg on Sesame Street
Favorite toy? Right now, my Kawasaki 636 is my favorite toy
If you signed a million-dollar contract, what's the first thing you'd buy? I'm always pretty smart with my money, not one to blow it all. I'd probably invest in what we really want-a motorcycle supermall
Ever had a sexual relationship with a police officer? I can't get into that right now
Is your mom proud of you? Of course, is your mum proud of you? [No, disgusted. -Green]
What's your motivating force? Recently we were at a show in Canada [StuntFest Canada]. Everybody there was just so appreciative of what we're doing. In that situation, my motivation is to blow people away, you know what I mean? Show them something they could never imagine, something totally savage, so they walk away saying, "That's a crazy mutha doing some crazy shit!" In other places it's just being the big dog and putting people like the Ruff Ryders in their place
Blondes or brunettes? Brunettes
Beer or shots? Vodka. Beer is for fags
Where do you see yourself in five years' time? Either dead or in jail
What's the best thing about being a Starboy? Making a living doing something I love to do
Which other rider do you respect the most? My partner, Kevin Marino
Any riders you hate? Wow, that's a long list. I'm not really a hater, but I don't like a couple of the European guys right now 'cuz they've been talking shit about us
What would you do now if you weren't a Starboy? I'd probably have my college education, a degree, and be teaching kids
You're in a gas station; there's a guy holding up the clerk. You see it's a banana in his pocket, not a gun. What do you do?
Stick the banana up his ass and throw him out the front door!
Most embarrassing moment? We were at a show and Kevin flipped an endo. That was embarrassing, being a Starboy. I guess he's a fag too!
