What inspires you to compete?
The thrill of victory, the knowledge that it was all up to me and the lessons learned on the track taught me about the lessons in life - if you give 100% everytime the gate drops, sooner or later your time to shine will come and all your hard work will pay off in the end
What has been your most embarrassing moment?
Blowing a motor and refusing to DNF the moto or settle for last. The fast line was taken and on the last lap I took a line that I had never tried...it was an uphill right hander on the track right next to the spectator bleachers. Needless to say, the front end tucked and I ended up getting thrown off the bike and rolling half-way down the hill Homer Simpson style (I`ve got the video to prove it). Still remounted and finished the race :)
Why do you like this sport?
It keeps me young or I`ll die trying.
Why do you compete?
No where else is there a family of people who put all there differences aside and come to the gate with a mutual respect for one another. Nothing matters but the euphoric experience secretly shared inside each competitors helmet.
