Why do you like this sport?
Riding lets me get free from the hustle and bustle of life...not that i dont think when i ride; i think, but not of things stressing me etc. Its also a chance to push limits physically and mentally, get out there into some awesome terrain and gives you a great chance to spend some time with some mates and have an awesome time.
What inspires you to compete?
Watching all the big boys fly down the hill cranking it. I just love the rush you get out of riding and seing people take crazy lines at high speeds just make me want to step up.
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
I ride heaps every day for 3-4 hours and i just say to myself every time i go riding im going to go my hardest and try to learn something new and try different things and practice the skills im not so good at.
Why do you compete?
Competing to me is about seing were you are at with your riding. Its about pushing your limits to get higher up the ranks. Getting out with your mates and the mtb society and having a good time but aswell as serious.
Describe your style...
Im a rider who doesnt going around throwing down the massive tricks. I more focus on getting runs smooth with style and trying different lines. You see all these riders out there throwing massive no foot cans and so forth and you think wow, but to me anybody can bust massive tricks after practice but style is just natural. When im happy with my jumping and very confident thats when ill start work on them. I think differently to other riders. Most riders just look at which lines the fastest and easiest, i like to look at which line is going to be fast and set me up for the next part of the track better.
