About Me

Hi my name is Sheldon, I've been married for over 10 years,my day job is local P/D truck driver with Armour Transportation Systems, Ive been a truck driver for approximatly 5 years. I have recently rediscovered a sport that I participated in as a child. My friends and I used to ride our bmx bicycles down the hills around my house, through the woods... over jumps and the like. I wasnt really aware this was actually a sport untill introduced to it by my brother in-law, who at the time was looking for something less expensive than motocross. So about 3 years ago i purchased a used DH bicycle. For the past 2 years my friends and I have been following and riding the local race events, we havent competed, however, we feel very competitive. This fall and winter we have set up a training schedule, to be ready to compete in the 2009 season, all events. I still am using the frame i purchased almost 3 years ago, however I hope to have a newer more nimble model for the 09 season. Thanks for looking!! Sheldon

This weekend past was the last race of my local season. Unfortunately I was again, suffering an injury for this event, however I managed to push through for a single run to give me a couple of points, this allowed me to finish in a 7th position overall in my class for the 2009 season. There were a lot of spoilers throughout the season as well, hopefully we will see them next year for the full season.

I would also like to thank my sponsors as well that supported me for the 2009 season,
Team Sponsor - Sport Wheels / Cogeyed
Personal Sponsors - Oneal / Azonic

Thanks to everyone for your support.
Sheldon McQuillan.
