The Bender family has two very good motocross riders in their
family, Brian And Brandon. Both are within the top 4 slots
in points and I recently had the pleasure of interviewing one of
the two very talented up and rising, motocross rider , known
for his distinct fashion statement. The following is an excerpt
from the conversation I had, with the very
charismatic, the very Kewl, #32: Brandon Bender. |

MM: First
and foremost man, the people must know, what is the deal with the duck
on the helmet, and how do you get it to stay there when you’re
riding? The people must know! |
-BB: (Short Laugh) It’s so my dad can
see me. I use super glue to keep the duck on. |
MM: The duck doesn’t mind?
|
-BB: (Giggle) No. |

motocross, and what would you say got you started?

half ago. Just something to do. |

in a driveway?
