Q&A - Personal

What inspires you to compete?

I'm inspired to compete because i want tobe the best i can and have the most medals on my wall as possible. So few people downhill mountain bike that the better i do the better i feel.

Why do you like this sport?

Downhill is all about going fast and pushing the limits of you and the your bike. I love the adrenaline and telling people I'm a downhill mountain bike racer. You tell someone you play football and they really don't care because anyone can play football. You tell someone you race downhill and they respect you because very few people have what it takes to do it.

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

Because I'm not sponsered at the moment and downhill is a very expensive sport I spent alot of my summer working . I train every day I have a chance to. I lift weights two to three times a week this winter I will lift every other day. In feburary I'll start riding in idaho springs at some trails that are harder than any race course. I try to get as many runs in at keystone after school that I can.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

When I grow up I want to work in the biking world.I want to do what ever I have to make money riding my bike.

Some Personal Information About Me:

I'm 15 years old this is my first year racing downhill. I was going to race last year but I tore my ucl. Downhill is my main sport I play hockey and lacrosse but they are more for cross training.I give 120 percent 100 percent of the time.
