Lights, Camera, Action:

PREV: Tell us a bit about yourself: your name & screen name, your age, family (optional), and where you live.
ML: My name is Max Ladieu. I'm 16 years of age & I race motocross! My screen name is ladieu229 on the forum. I've been racing motocross pretty much since I could walk. It's my life. I've been to all the nationals and done all that and it's alot of work. I recently took a break and am just getting back into it. God is a huge part in my life and he keeps me up and safe. He's the Man! My parents are also a huge part of my life! They help me with all my problems and always support me. Also have a 4 year old brother that is the sickest lil' dude ever. He is just like me and is gonna be the next RC. The kid is crazy! I live in Riverside, California. I've lived here my whole short 16 years of life.

PREV: What kind of bike or bikes do you ride?
ML: Honda cr250f

PREV: If I'm correct, you're mainly an MX guy. How long have you been riding and racing?
ML: Yeah, motocross is my life! Everything I have to this day has been through racing and I've meet some really amazing people through this sport and I love it! I wouldn't change it for anything. I've been riding for about 12 years and racing for about 11 years now.

PREV: How did you find out PanicRev Ministries?
ML: I actually found PanicREV through a photo I saw of Blake Bagget. I saw the logo on the photo and decided to check out the website. I saw it was a pretty cool christain motocross ministry. About a month later I started talking to Scott Parkinson on myspace and he invited me down one Thursday night. I loved it! I've been going ever since!

PREV: Do you have a favorite Bible verse? If so, why that one?
ML: Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
Isaiah 26 verse 2

PREV: What kind of advice would you give to someone who is new to Christianity, or to someone who has recently been re-born?
ML: First off I would have to say congrats. God will change your life in so many amazing ways!
God is great.

PREV: Any shout outs?
ML: The Lord Jesus Christ for keepin me safe!

PREV: Now that you've nailed the Perris Triple, what's the next big opportunity on your horizon?
ML: Ummm ... Hmmm, I would like to hit the super duper narley quad at Starwest. It already got Tatum [laughter], but I think i can do it!

... another jump that was on my list was the Elsinore step up, I hit that Sunday! Over-jumped it by 20+ feet the first time! OUCH!!!!!
