Luke Fulton is one of the most energetic people I've ever met. Any time Luke's around it's gonna be interesting. Fuelled by candy, this kid tears up the jumps, the mountains, you name it. Check out his promo video for the 2008 season. Expect to see much more from him in the near future. Watch the
5 videos inside!Check out the video!

Aaron: Introduce yourself for us. How old are you, where are you from? All that stuff.
Luke: Ok, well my name is Luke Fulton, and I’m 17 years old, I’m from Victoria, B.C. I have been riding for 4 years and am in my last year of high school. Pretty stoked on that. Any I forgot?
Aaron: yeah, boxers or briefs?
Luke: boxxers
Aaron: So, what are your goals for the 2008 season? Any comps? tricks? or other stuff you wanna do/learn?
Luke: Uhhm in 2008 I want to compete as much as possible. A podium would be awesome in any comp, but I would just like to do well and not **** the bed. I would love to learn more threesixty variations, get 3’s off drops dialled, and become really consistent with stuff. I really want to learn how to ride mountains better so I gotta not want to go dirt jumping every day. Now I have a truck, and listen so I have no excuse not to ride mountains.
Aaron: What do you think of Sylvester Stallones new movie, "Rambo"?
Luke: The teaser was worse than the Kranked 4 Brett Tippie fight scene.
Aaron: Agreed. What is your favourite candy?
Luke: Uhhm hard question. Right now i would have to say I’m liking the sour wine gums a lot.

Aaron: Where's your favourite place to ride and why? Locally or otherwise.
Luke: Locally, it would be a place I like to call “my house”, because it’s got everything I like in one, and my favourite place that isn’t local is Whistler because there’s everything there; jumps, mountain, also there’s so many people to meet and ride with from all over the place, you can ride until your dead, go grab a smoothie from the bike ‘n’ bean, grab some pizza then go shred the skate park ‘til the lights go out.
Aaron: Smoothie’s eh? What would your dream smoothie be? what would it taste like?
Luke: Uhhm strawberry with vanilla and sherbet ice cream with some raspberry in it. It would taste like what it was made outta obviously!
Aaron: Explain to me how screaming helps you ride better.
Luke: Uhh, I don’t know. One time i was screaming to my buddy,Mark, while we were riding down A-line. We pretty much had a conversation on the trail. It was freakin’ sweet. That was probably the smoothest run on A-line I ever did. When you scream people laugh or get stoked, so then you feed off each other and get star power like in guitar hero 3. Everyone gets super gnarly. Sometimes people go upside down!
Aaron: Upside down?
Luke: Frick yes. First they go up then they go over!

Aaron: If you could start a new trend or bring back an old one what would it be?
Luke: Uhhhm I would have to say bring back headbands and wrist bands and 80’s colour schemes.
Aaron: All right, Luke, good talking to you. Let's hear some shout outs.
Luke: Big shout outs too Marty’s Mountain Cycle. Thanks for putting up with me! Sombrio, and GeaxTires, can’t thank you enough for your support! All my buddies I ride with. You know who you are!
