How I got started

I?m from a family of motorcyclists so riding something with wheels was part of my life from the beginning. My grandpa owned a BSA / Norton / Triumph dealership that became my uncle?s Yamaha dealership. My mom drove my sister and I to preschool on a Yamaha 350 at the same time (me in the front, older sis in back) Been riding ever since.

Goals for the Future

I plan to create a traveling exibition to promote freeriding. The show will consist of 4 riders that perform together on a variety of stunts such as tall skinny bridges, elevated teters, a box jump, and some big drops. I will be attempting to perform at special events such as Warp tour, Buzz Bake sale, Drag strips, and maybe even in the closing ceremony to the next Olympic games!

UPDATE 2-18-06
The Show has taken off and the Uncle Jimmi?s Tour De Freeride Show has already performed 6 times this year.
The show has received an exclusive for NBC channel 6 in Miami on the Today Show.
We also made an appearance in 2 different Newspapers (the Miami Harold and the Sun Sentinel)
The 2-Xtreem TV crew was at the Cyclepalooza Show and they will be giving me lots of coverage in the next episode that airs on Sunshine Network.
I have my own website www.UncleJimmi.com and it will be getting completely rebuilt soon.
I am not so good at building websites so I will be getting help to make it much better.

Describe your style...

Smoooth! The best way to show you know is to make it look easy.

Music?

I like techno of all types but mostly Breaks and Drum & Bass

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I picked this question for myself because it made me laugh. I am 41 and I just can`t imagine ever growing up!

How's Life Treating You?

I meet tons of good people. I have an awesome wife and she is a nurse. I have more toys than I have time to play with. I go snowboarding every year. I own my own business so I am the boss...I would say that life is treating me pretty darn good.

Employment / Experience Summary

Metal polishing is what I do for work. Anything from aluminum bikes to mega yhats.

I have highlights every time I ride, so I ride a lot!
I am more of a performer than a competitor, but I do enter some competitions to have fun.
Its all about having fun! I love meeting lots of cool people, riding new places and especially helping other people who want to learn more about cycling.
