Hey, my name is Ben Whitaker. I am 13 years old and i love mountain biking. I mosly ride dirt jumps and do small freeride stuff. I have been biking for about 2 or 3 years now. I love mountain biking because it is so fun, is such an awesome rush, and because i love pushing my limits, and i find i can do that the best when i am on my bike. I live on a small island near seattle called Vashon, and here there are many singletrack and cross country trails here but there is only 1 dirt jump course (that kinda sucks) and only a few freeride stunts. I do travel to ride alot though which is good. It would be very helpful to get sponsored so i could get off my island and ride more and bring my riding to new levels.
