OBSCENE: How old were you when you first started riding?
CAREY: I got my first bike at 4, it was around the same time I moved to Vegas. I really started getting really serious when I moved to Vegas probably about 4½ .

I lived out in the desert, my pop got me into it and I started riding every day. I quickly jumped up to a 60 at age 5 and it’s all downhill from there.

OBSCENE: When did you turn pro for motocross?
CAREY: I turned pro at 17. Around the same time, I graduated a little early from High School, I had a really short schedule. So, I did the move out to California. I was working for one of my buddies’ dad and started focusing on the local motocross areas down south. I was doing a lot of in living in Vegas, but was on my own finally.  By 19, I was out doing motocross series.

OBSCENE: You’re the first one to do the back flip, right?
CAREY: Yep.

OBSCENE: Where was that at?
CAREY: It was at Gravity Games 2001, I believe.

OBSCENE: Are you still riding freestyle motocross?
CAREY: Yeah, I still ride a lot of freestyle. Actually now that it’s cooled off a bit.  I just built a brand new freestyle course in Vegas. Mike Mason’s moving to Vegas so we’ll have a pretty good riding scene with motocross guys and some pretty good freestyle guys. This winter, I want to do a lot of film trips and just hammer it out and stay productive on my freestyle bike.

OBSCENE: When did you make the switch from motocross to freestyle? And why?
CAREY: I don’t think it was necessarily a switch, it’s just a trend going on with us. Guys like myself, Metzger and Deegan, Tommy6 Klowers, guys that were racing and then  went out doing freestyle for fun and doing video shoots, early XXX movies crust and all that kind of stuff. It was kind of something we were doing on the side then it just sparked on it’s own leading up to first contest we had in Vegas.

OBSCENE: Now, you opened up a tattoo shop?
CAREY: Yeah, w’ve been open for 5 years.  Hart & Hunington Tattoo. I’ve got one in Vetgas at the Palms, one in Orlando,one in Waikiki and I’m doing 5 more this year. Staying busy but more said than that, focusing on the clothing line Hart and Hunington. It’s going really strong right now, then just doing my nightclub. I’m actually moving my tattoo shop to the Hard Rock in March.

OBSCENE: What night club is that?
CAREY: Wasted Space. It’s like a true rock bar in Vegas. We opened up about 3 months ago and going strong. It’s a lot of work, but it’s good. It’s a lot of fun

OBSCENE: I seen you on Cribs, you’ve still got the whole thing set up at your house
CAREY: That’s a different house. I don’t have that house anymore, but it’s a similar set up.

OBSCENE: How often a week do you ride? Or is it more work than play?
CAREY: It’s definitely more work that play, but that will change now that it’s cooling off. Now that its not 110 degrees out in Vegas, I’ll get out at least 3 days a week.

OBSCENE: Are you guys still doing super motocross?
CAREY: Yeah, I’m still going to do super motocross and I’m still going to do the two X games events. Just kid of go from there. I kind of got a little bummed out at that series. I don’t think the promoters or the sanctioned guys did a very good job at  it. Too much money was spent for the return on it. So, I’ll focus on the big races and that’s it.

OBSCENE: Do you have any freestyle events coming up?
CAREY: I don’t really do events any more. I might do the crusty tour in Australia next Spring.  This year I just want to focus on filming, shooting photos, just kinda staying productive and out there, but I’mnot doing more contests.

OBSCENE: Son you guys just got the corr truck team and supercross. Is that all? You guys just doing both those extremes?
CAREY: I have all my athletes as far as freestyle riders, BMX riders, going to work on a couple of snowboarders this year. Then we have our supercross team, I still have a super moto team just smaller, not as many with Steve Drew. Now the corr truck team. We’re going to dome on strong with the corr truck team next year. I plan on doing a whole series next year in the pro 2 class.

OBSCENE: Who else is your sponsor besides yourself?
CAREY: It’s basically Hart & Huntington, Rockstar, Leo Vents Exhaust, Honda. Those are the big bangers that help us stay together. Me personally, it’s always been Rockstar, FOX and DVS.

OBSCENE: Tell us about your clothing line.
CAREY: We have everything. We’re going to expand and do a lot coming up this year with DVS. We’re doing a lot more tees than shoes. We’re making a whole clothing circuit. Clearly right now we’re selling for Spring of next year, so by Fall season of next year which is just a couple months out, we’ll have denim cuts and everything.

OBSCENE: So, are you gonna start driving the trucks or you just the sponsor?
CAREY: No, I’m driving. I’m doing the Pro 2 series next year. Today’s actually my first test day, so we’’ see how it goes.

OBSCENE: How many trucks do you guys have?
CAREY: As of right now for the 08 series, we have pro spec, pro life, pro buggy, and 3 trophy cars. During the next year, I’ll be pro 2.

OBSCENE: So you guys have a busy summer off?
CAREY: Yeah

OBSCENE: Where’s your favorite spot to hang out in Vegas?
CAREY: Definitely my club. That’s why I opened them. I want a place I can feel comfortable to hang out and my friends could have a good time, enjoy good live music, good DJ sets, all rock-based stuff.

OBSCENE: You have a house in So Cal or just Vegas?
CAREY: Actually, I’m entertaining an idea, me and a buddy of mine. I think we’re going to buy a house out here in Lake Matthews.

OBSCENE: Where’s Lake Matthews?
CAREY: Near Corona. My clothing business is based here out of California in Irvine.

OBSCENE: Where can they find your clothes at?
CAREY: Tilly’s, PacSun, Zumies, Hart & Huntington.com, No Fear, pretty much all the major retailers.

OBSCENE: Do you want to give any shout outs to anybody, or thank anybody?
CAREY: I think the biggest thing is to support the sponsors that support us. If it wasn’t for companies like Rockstar, Fox, DVX and Leo Vents and all the rest of them.  That’s what keeps athletes going. Especially, how crazy the economy is right now. You’ve got to really support the brands and the companies that support fashion sports.
