Lance Coury first threw a leg over a motocross bike when he was just four years old, and he showed that he had skills right off the bat. Widely considered to be one of the next big things in freestyle motocross, Lance has been putting in work for the last few years at Southern California's various riding compounds, getting ready to strike.
He's also been working on his culinary skills – not exactly something you'd expect from your average throttle-twister, but everybody's gotta eat, right? See if Lance has any other surprises for you...
Favourite movie:
One of my favourite movies has to be Step Brothers. I love comedies; they always make you laugh and smile.
Favourite book:
I haven’t read many books, but I did happen to read Red and Me on a flight to Europe. It is a great story about a champion.
Favourite TV show:
Back to the comedy thing, I get a kick out of East Bound and Down. It’s a little gnarly but if you’re old enough to watch, it’s a good laugh.
Garth Milan
Favourite magazine:
Playboy. There are some pretty interesting things in there, as well as awesome jokes, and of course naked girls! haha
Favourite song or artist:
It's really hard to pick just one, especially with all the driving and traveling I do. I listen to a little bit of everything. My taste in music ranges from rap to rock; even the occasional country or acoustic coffeehouse type stuff.
Favourite animal:
I’m not a big animal person; they have a mind of their own so they aren't predictable. Not for me!
Favourite colour:
I can’t pick just one! I love the brighter colours because of the way they stand out. But black is classic. My mind changes every day!
'I enjoy cooking. I like seeing people smile after eating something that I just made.'
Favourite holiday:
Favourite holiday has to be Christmas. I like drinking hot drinks in the cold and getting presents. Who doesn't?
Favourite tech gadget:
My iPhone 4. I am on the thing way too much with Twitter and Facebook.
Favourite thing to eat:
I love to eat good sushi. If I ever want to treat myself to a good dinner out, I get sushi.
Favourite thing to wear:
That’s really hard. I like all the seasons, whether I get to be in a hoodie and jeans or trunks and sandals.
Favourite place to be:
My favourite place to be is home! I love traveling and seeing all the places of the world, but I always love coming home to my own bed.

Favourite way to indulge or treat/reward yourself:
My favourite way to treat myself would be a personal vacation, having nothing to do when I get there except relax.
Favourite times to get up/go to bed:
I like getting up and going to bed like most people, I think. I get to bed by 10 and wake up at 7. Then I’m usually out riding by 9 a.m. I enjoy being up early because I feel like I get a head start on my day and I get things accomplished.
Favourite thing to spend money on:
I have no problem spending money on good food. I love to enjoy indulging.
Favourite thing to do in your free time:
I enjoy cooking. I like seeing people smile after eating something that I just made.
Favourite thing about your sport:
I like jumping my motorcycle. To top it off, I get to hang off the back of the bike or go upside down with it over 100-foot jumps!
Favourite sport other than your own:
I like to surf. When the temperature gets too hot to ride, surfing is a great way to keep cool and have a good time.
Favourite celebrity or sports star:
My favourite celebrity is Jon Favreau; he is one of those actors some people might have never heard of. But then you realise what he’s in and the parts he plays. He is funny!
Favourite people to ride with:
I like to ride with a lot of guys, but I always have a great time riding with my friends I grew up riding with, Cole Seely and Riley Harper.
Favourite thing in your house or apartment:
My bed. The thing is so comfortable.
Favourite thing about your life:
I don’t work, but rather make a living doing what I love.
