Well I'm hooked on MTB and my life revolves around the sport. I do it as much as I can, which includes between commitments such as work and studying. I was born in England and then moved to Scotland when I was 2 and have lived there ever since. I'm just over 6ft tall, have longish brown hair and medium build. I love to keep fit and achieve this by taking part in many sports including MTB and soccer and by also eating healthily.
I have been cycling all my life, right back when I was 6, maybe younger I cant remember! Everything changed when I was about 15 because I went to an actual Mountain Bike trail centre, Glentress. Back then the only trails available were cross-country routes and lots of singletrack which was awesome. However, when I turned 17 they had developed a Freeride track and I was amazed. The track had about 20 tabletops, a few hips, drops, skinnies, wallrides and a funbox. To this day I still love the place and I try and go every 2 weeks.
I've also had the privilege of riding in the Alps e.g. Porte Du Solei. This was one of my favourite holidays - 2 weeks of full on downhill mountain biking!! I rode many tracks when I was there and pushed my limits to ride them and for sure i'll be going back in the near future.
Aside from biking I also go to university to study Business Computing and I love it. Meeting new people is always awesome and finding out about their different cultures is quite fascinating. I was also delighted to hear that certain university's run MTB clubs and give you the chance to compete in student only events (BUSA), I know a few people competing in these and they inform me that its great and I think i'll give the downhill event series a shot next year.
Thanks for looking at my profile and while your here have a look at my pics and vids.
