What inspires you to compete?
I compete because I have a competitive nature and it`s fun. I get a huge adrenaline rush just from going out and racing.
Some Personal Information About Me:
I`m dedicated to mountain biking, and everything around it. I`ve designed my own hardtail frame (and if I had nothing but time I might even try to make it, but I`m too busy riding haha). I build trails, stunts, and ride my bike. I`m a pretty easy going guy and always try to tag along with the faster riders at Diablo (Aaron Chase, George Ryan, hcor.net, and some of the workers at Diablo).
Describe your style...
I try to have a unique style on the bike, I often try different lines both in practice and when riding for fun. I have lots of confidence in my equiptment so I know I can take more chances with line selection and choose a rougher but sometimes shorter path. I try to be as smooth on the bike as possible and flow with the trail.
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
I train year round for biking. I`m at the gym four days a week lifting weights, on my off days if the whether permits I do a XC ride. I also play soccer for my highschool and that has proven to be a good cross training activity to help keep me in shape.
