From talking to Mr. Lau last week in Beijing, just days after the Nike China Federation Uniform Launch, it is clear that he did not take the task of working the full China BMX Kit lightly. "When[I] heard about this project [being developed] especially for the China team uniform... I was a little bit nervous [yet] very happy and very touched," Mr. Lau said through a translator at the Peninsula Hotel in downtown Beijing. Handing the reigns to design the full China BMX Kit (thats top to bottom including footwear, gloves, and the bike's nameplate) to Mr. Lau was important to the Nike BMX team, who wanted to ensure that a Chinese designer was involved in the project.
While growing up in HK, Lau absorbed much of Western culture into his own- including BMX. "BMX is a part of my childhood memories. I still remember the days when I was trying to learn freestyle on BMX, realizing that BMX was not just a bike to ride."
