This week on 60 minutes: Mitchell Wood, The truth..

At first, project thought was to be more based
around taking the piss and having a few laughs
with this here Exclusive Manbeast Interview, but
as i dug deeper and heard what Mitch has to say
i decided to make it a little more serious.
Dive deep into Manbeasts past where he talks
exclusively with yours truly about fondling 9
year old girls, Final fantasy Obsessions, Diversity
BMX and some other weird shit, i wasn't really
paying attention...

You saw it here first, Crispy Stream, World Wide.


1. How did "Manbeast" come about and how long has it stuck?

I've always been alot bigger and more hirsute than people my age., so that kinda factored into it. I got called Manchild alot in school so I guess Manbeast was the next stage of. Steve Joseph called me a Manbeast one day at Kuraby about 6 years ago I'm guessing and it pretty much stuck from there. I prefer just Beast though. Sounds a bit tougher, haha. I wonder what the next evolution from Manbeast will be...?

2. You have been a solid contributor for Aus BMX for some time now with Diversity, FTR and now this Crispy Interview.. Do you have any plans in the new year to further grow any of these projects?

Yeah I've got some big plans that will hopefully take form very soon. I'd love to expand Diversity a bit and maybe get some contributors from other states as well.

3. How many hours do you spend playing Final Fantasy compared to riding?

Hahaha. Considering there hadn't been a new one in like 3 years my ratio was pretty good. Final Fantasy 13 came out last Tuesday though and I've clocked about 20 hours so far. I've spent 100+ hours on each one from FF7 upwards. That includes playing a few of them multiple times. Man this is sounding pretty sad, hahahaha.

As for riding I've ridden my cruiser for about 8 hours this week and my 20" for a couple minutes in the FTR carpark. I can blame a bulging disc in my back for that though.

4. I once heard that you fondled with a 9 year old girl in NSW and had to move to QLD to hide from the law? (i just remember that story you told justy hahaha)

Oh man. Before anyone comes to lynch me this was a practical joke I played on Justy when I very first met him. It was about 5 years ago so I was like 17 and he was 14. Like I said before I've always looked alot older so I created this crazy backstory about how I was some 25yo predator from NSW that got a 9yo pregnant and had to move here and change my identity and lie about my age. Man, I've just got a fucked up sense of humor. I'm surprised Justy even kept talking to me after that.

5. Describe a normal day in the life of Mitch Wood?

Wake up around 7. Eat breakfast in front of computer. Drive to work and spent 9 hours selling kids bikes, entering invoices and other exhilarating things. Finish at 6 and go home. Dinner in front of the computer and try and find something to post on Diversity that Justy hasn't already, haha. Then either Final Fantasy, COD, or Fixie ride, shower, bed at 1. Repeat.

6. Tell me somethings crazy i dont know where this is going..

Uh man I dunno, I'm sure theres lots of crazy stuff. Maybe that I once tried fapping with deep heat. Haha. Nah, don't put that in there.

7. ...

8. When are more Diversity stickers going to be available on Dans?

I think I better shut my mouth when it comes to Dans...

9. Where do you see yourself in the next 12 months?

Once I get as buff as Samson I'll do a nude Crispy x Gucci shoot with him.

10. A lot of people don't really understand what it takes to run something like Diversity as well as having a full time job and a personal life, do you find it hard to juggle sometimes?

Yeah man that shits rough. Sometimes I struggle and something gets a bit left out, whether it be not being able to ride as much as I want or not seeing Liezl as much as I want. Im thankful that Justy has come on board with Diversity and that he's doing such a great job. For a while there I had such little time and was finding it hard to find motivation to keep it going.

I've found a pretty good balance lately though. I still want to ride more but I've figured out that you can easily gain a few hours in the day. Sleep less, haha.

11. Ender quote and thank yous...

Keep it crispy.
