Q&A - Personal

Why do you like this sport?

I like this sport because it constantly gives you something to do no matter where you are, you always see things normal people dont. I'll be walking down the street with a few friends that dont ride and i'll just look at things walls ledges gaps and im like siiiiiick, and they just look at me like wtf are you talking about haha. Also i love the thrill it gives you when you land a new trick, and you get to meet new people and travel.

What inspires you to compete?

I'ld say friends, family, my sponsors Vengeance Clothing Limited and SixSixOne, and music lol

Q&A - Competition

How did you get started?

I'll never forget i'ld say late 90s i was in east rutherford new jersey for the state fair thingy lol and i was with the family and i guess my mother liked bmx cause me and her split on my brother and father she said we were going to see a demo i must have been 11 or 12 i didnt know what a demo was ha, so we go and i'll never forget seeing the gt team perform and i was just in shock back then backflips and tailwhips were a big thing and i was like woahhhhhh wowwww haha so i started farting around jumping lil 5 foot stairs and doing endos thinking it was so cool good times good times and now almost a decade later here i am still riding

List your competitive highlights:

well i just started competeting in expert and also i was eliminated from a competition back in 06 for sandbagging thats when you should've joined a higher class, but i didnt know they said it was amature and i was like well im not dave mirra so i joined and was forced to compete in expert lol by jan i'll be competeting in pro
