How I got started
I`ve been riding bikes my whole life. I remember ripping around on my first bike, giong off curbs and stuff until my chain fell off and my mom had to stop and put it back on for me or seeing how far i could skid, ripping up my tires as i tried. I guess I got my first "real" mountain bike after a couple seasons of breaking all my cheaper bikes following around all the older guys and trying to do what they were. Once i stopped breaking all my stuff i started riding with a group of people, most of whom were much older than me. We`d go on long cross country rides or do some urban riding at the university until it got dark and i had to come home.
Goals for the Future
I`ll be on a mostly all new bike for this season so i really want to try and progress in all areas of my riding. I`ll definatly be looking to podium at as many dh and 4x races as i can but what I`ll be focusing on the most is my "freeriding". I learned a few tricks at the end of this season like no foot cans and backflips, that I`d really like to get a lot more consistant with on dirt. I`ve also started riding bmx just this past season and have already picked up a few things and i really want to bring a bit of bmx style and trickery to the forests.
