Tyler Chorlton needs no introduction. He is without a doubt the best UK rider out there, no other Brit comes even close. Tyler is one of Bataleon's big dogs and has been flying the skull & crossbones with the Pirates Crew for two seasons now. Look out for homeboy's signature front flippers and crazy ass stiffy double grab spins (yep, you read it right) coming to a screen near you. Let's see what Tyler and his big mustache had to say!

You were born in the UK but brought up in Andorra, where does your heart lie when the two teams meet for football?
Erm... I don't like football!

Now that you've got triple front flips on lock, any plans to go for a quadruple?
Not sure, I'm getting worried my head will pop soon.

Tyler pumps mad pop off dem kickers.

You are now sporting a Guy Fawkes-style moustache, does that increase or decrease your chances with the ladies?
Increase! All women love the womb broom.

Would you rather never do a front flip again or only do front flips for the rest of your riding days?
Well, I think I've done enough in my day, lots more to explore...

You co-own Loaded snowboard shop in Andorra, how do you manage to tie that in with your riding?
Well, I got my homies Pete and Sam representing for me at home, which allows me to shred and do my thing whilst I'm away.

Who are your favorite people to get extreme with?
Any of the Pirates.

You used to be on the British team for pipe, any plans to turn back into a pipe jock?
No way!

You now film with the Pirates, they seem to be a real tight-knit crew. Who do you room with when you film with them? Any gossip on that person?

Well, the crews change every few days but I rode lots with Fichtl last winter, there is gossip but I'm not at liberty to share right now.

Tyler is one of the biggest boners in the game

Have you ever taken any shit from other riders for being a British pro?
Not really, cuz they're like "shit, this Brit can ride".

"Shit, this Brit can ride..."

You now have Oakley adverts of yourself at Heathrow Airport. Do you stand around them hoping someone will notice you or do you cover your face and cringe?
I'll have to go see and find out!
