Names? Juliet Helen Zoe Elliot

How old do you feel? Fourteen.

Where are you originally from? Derbyshire

Where were you when this picture was snapped? A strip club in Frankfurt.

Where do you lay your head at night? Dalston

Good things about Dalston? Turkish shops stay open 24 hours selling beer.

What’s your day job? Working as a PR/events manager for Final Agency.

We all know you dig bikes and that you’ve been riding for Charge for the last couple of years, but tell me about the snow boards?  Yeah, got into snowboarding when I used to go on skiing holidays with my parents.

And then you turned pro? That’s right, caught the attention of Burton and rode for them for about three years.

Ok, well we’ve covered the bikes and the snowboards and we know you throw some awesome parties, but tell me something about yourself people listening at home may not know about you. I play the guitar.

Didn’t you used to play in a band? Yep. Used to be in a band called PANIC DHH and used to be a session guitarist for the Lightning Seeds.

Wow? I’m impressed!

What metal band would you recommend for some hot young buck to get into? Mettallica!

And, say, if this young buck wanted to impress some hardened metal fiend, what band name should they drop? Hmmm? Electric Wizard.

And lastly, whats’s with the VBS.tv? I’m in the middle of filming a couple of pilot shows for them about bikes and the different scenes that people are into. We’re building a dirt track in South London for one of the shows and the other pilot will be in Liverpool about the birth of street riding.

Looking forward to seeing those. Thanks for your time Juliet, send some strokes to Catwoman for me. Bye.
