Instead he quit because of the people's attitudes around him. As he stated in an interview concucted by former fellow BMX racer Dale Holmes:
Holmes: "Why did you quit BMX and get into Mountainbikes?"
de Bever: At the time I was totally over the whole euro BMX scene, not the actual racing or riding the bike , cause I still loved that, but more the wining(sic) parents bossing their kids around. ---Daleholmes.com 2002
