Addict's New Team Rider Michael Cajas + Interview

Michael Cajas may have vanished for a while, both out of the scene, and off your "Top Riders List", but rest assure he never stopped riding during that time he was gone. When Michael was around back in 05-08, people recognized him for his insane street riding. Well, I don't think that's going to be changing anytime soon..

Michael joining Addict means that he's now on a Team of some of the sports leading and most progressive street riders in the sport today. Now that Michael is on Addict, I'm sure we're going to be seeing a lot more of him in the future. Addict is shaping up to be THE Team to watch out for when it comes to riders who are always going to be pushing the limits of the sport, mainly in street riding. It's rare to find a complete Team of guys like the ones on Addict, who are so dedicated to what they are doing. They all have a true passion for street riding, and for scootering in general...to put it simply, They're Addicted.

I recently caught up with Michael and was able to ask him some questions, check out the interview below, and Michael's Welcome To Addict video below that.


Name, Age, Location?
Michael Cajas, 21 ans, neuchatel, swiz
 
How long have you been riding Michael?
i've been riding for 7 years now, but
I started scootering at the age of 14. But i ride inline-skating too.
 
It seems like you disappeared for a while? What happened?
i know but i don't care, i ride for fun, not for the exposure. I had to finish school and start working. I ain't got no camera and i was too lazy to move my ass and film so i guess that's why.

When you were on Micro, you were known for being a street killer...Do you still ride a lot of street? 
what a question..fuck yeah !! Street all day bro
but i ride park too ;)

What is your full scooter set up right now? and how does it feel?
I ride a full District v2 setup (fork and deck) and Addict prototype grips with eagle 110. It's light and have a good balance, it's perfect ! Can't wait to have my own addict setup
 
So how did you get on the Addict Team?
I was on Micro with Johann when Micro started so I met him at the first Montreux contest, with Martin Kimbell, Terry Price and Eric Rabl. Then Johann went away and started French.ID with Kevin, I stayed with Micro.
We started to talk when french.id was still ruined by them, and they left to create Addict. They contacted me some weeks after Stan left, and yeah here i am !
 
How do you feel about being on Addict, does it fit your life style?
it's crazy dude ! shreddin with OG riders i've known since a while, we all have the same goal in life, scootering shreddin and havin' fun ! what else ?
i'm sure i'll die before i'll turn 35 years so i don't give a sh** !
 
Will you have a full section in the "Addict So What!" DVD? 
yeah for sure, i'm already filming for my part.

From then and now, what do you think of scootering and of course, what do we have to look forward with your addict video part ?
The level is crazy now. i'm just curious too see what scootering will be in 20 years. Can't wait to see more Big air and street. And for my part, well i hope bangers and crazyness ;)

Do you have any last words Michael?
First, thanks Inside-Scooters for the interview
Addict all day.
Shred hard till you die !
