Then...

Now...

Q&A - Competition

How did you get started?

Wel... I used to live in Tallahassee FL, there was a little track there in one of the parks. It's a dead track. They haven't had a race in quite a while now(over a year or two) and their practices are very inconsistent. Anyway, when my sister was in 5th grade, and I was in 2nd, she was in the same class as Colby Fisher(world championships @ age 13). When she told me about BMX I immediately wanted to try. Well, like I said, its a dead track but it is open to the public, so I'd go about once a week. About half way into 3rd or 4th grade I stopped going there, I don't know why! When I finally wanted to go back in about 5th or 6th grade my bike was stolen! Beginning of 7th I got a new bike and started going to the track almost everyday, and 3 or 4 months into 2009 I got my redline. This is getting to be pretty long so I'm gonna end it quickly... 1 week before my 8th grade year I moved up here to Raleigh(which really sucks, moving, not Raleigh) about 3 weeks later when we got unpacked and all that I went to Capital City to try it out... Cap City is downhill and its about 3 times as fast as Tallahassee(oh did I mention that before I moved, all the rain had the Tallahassee track torn up and un-ridable for like 4 months)I was 3 times as addicted! Wow, that wasn't short... so anyway you know the story from there and... I'm done! With this anyway.

List your competitive highlights:

Nothing much... but maybe when I went back to Comp park for my 2nd race there, I was almost the same speed as the 14 yr old that had beaten me(by 5 lengths maybe) last time.

What are you planning for next season?

Lots of racing, state series, Redline cup if my dad says yes(my mom is 100% on this! She likes the jackets! lol), maybe a national if we don't have to travel far... but I want to get in the top 2 for district standings. Get more sponsors, or get a better sponsorship from the sponsors I already have.

What has been your biggest accomplishment?

Haha, my first first place :D for sure!

Q&A - Personal

What inspires you to compete?

Definitely the adrenaline rush! But also, when you're on that bike, its something else. You forget about all the little things that are bothering you, and all your stress just melts away.

What has been your most embarrassing moment?

Not exactly a moment, but those days when your just sooo slow and you mess up everything you do.

Describe your style...

Catch 'em when there not looking.

How's Life Treating You?

Very nice, racing going well, schools good, there's just a lot of homework.

Music?

Just whatever, I haven't really updated my fat old mp3/speakers(all-in-one!) and I can't seem to find my iPod so I've been listening to the radio. Mostly the top 40s channel whatever you call it, its G105 here... I like that one song, it's like firefly or whatever. There's a NCSU channel that plays songs from... well I'm not really sure... but there songs from the 1900s. On my iPod I had a whole bunch of stuff like Linkin Park, Santana, Paul Potts, Andrew Johnston... lots of stuff... I like Phantom of the Opera. :D oh yeah, and I play french horn, I made All-District In florida(district 3, one of the toughest) I was in one of the top middle school bands in the state(maybe top band). The band I'm in here is kinda bad, no offense, ... I also play piano, and I have a trumpet that I pull out sometimes... don't ever give me a woodwind instrument, I'll probably end up blowin it up...
