What inspires you to compete?
The thrill of being on the line next to 20-40 other guys who all want to win as much as I do.
What has been your most embarrassing moment?
My first race ever, in 250 beginner, I won it and then after taking the checkers, I got cross-rutted heading back to staging and I fell on my head. That was really bad. I felt like such a dork.
Describe your style...
It's one of a kind, nobody else has one like it, and it works for me. It's a mix between Chad Reed, Jeremy McGrath, and Ricky Carmichael. I've watched so many videos and practiced their style so much that I think I look like one of them now.
Why do you like this sport?
I like the comradeship that I see at the tracks. There is not one other sport where a guy will loan you his pressure washer, tools, and even lend a helping hand, and stuff you in a corner in the same day. Motocrossers are a breed of our own, and I am proud to be a part of it. It's really an amazing thing, the way we always stick together and help each other out, but can stay so competative.
Music?
I like all kinds of music. I listen to heavy metal before my motos to get me in a racing mindset. Like Slipknot, Korn, Disturbed, Diecast, Drowning Pool, and Bullet For My Valentine. One the other hand, when Im just chillen, I like all music from Eminem to Cake. It's all good stuff, you just have to listen.
