How I got started

My Uncle Nathan got me into it in2002 because he loves riding and has been for 14yrs. I mostly road with him up until 2004 when I started competing.Of course at the races I made buddies and evntually I found riders from my area. In my first race I didn`t go to well I came 5th out of five but then I started riding more and becoming more aggressive towards racing and in my second race I took out 2nd and this wasthe 2004 state dh championships.Since then I have won the state champs 2yrs in a row and have competed in the Australian National Series. My best result in a national round is 3rd but soon it will be 1st and at the moment I am ranked 5th in the under 15s catergory for dh in Australia. I am also involed in club racing where I have taken out first in the last six races.I suppose I go wellin races because I ride at least four times a week after school and on weekends whether it be jumping, downhill or freeride.

Goals for the Future

Next Season I am going to win the New South Wales state dh series again and try to win the Australian National Series and just keep riding I guess.

Describe your style...

I would best describe my style as smooth, flowy and calculated. I always style jumps big or small whether it be a whip, a one hander or a tabletop I just try to make things look there best. I do have to say that a whip is my favourite because they always look good and they always feel good.

Why do you compete?

I compete because I want to be the best but more importantly to have fun and just be a freak.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I want to be a professional downhill mountain biker like Kyle Strait or Nathan Rennie and thats not an option for me cause I am going to be the best.

I always go crazy, maybe a little over the edge in my race runs pushing my mental and physical health to their bursting points but as soon as I`m off the track I`m talking to all my competitors asking how they went and fooling around with them having fun.
