I am working at United Cycle in Edmonton, AB. next season I will be riding for Commencal Bikes on their Canada Team. I will be one of the instructors for a young riders club put on my United Cycle. I will also be participating in the maintenance of the trails in and around Edmonton along with building new trails. I am vary exited for next season. I am building a foam pit style jump on my grand parents farm for training, so look forward to seeing a bunch of new stuff in my 2008 video. Speaking of my new video , I just got a new HD camcorder so the quality of my videos with improve a lot from the past videos

hey everyone ,
I just thought I would give everyone an update on this season .........it started out good ...i was progressing fast , landed a bunch more back flips and 3's , attempting cork flips and tail whips. but unfortunatley I crashed on a back flip on the new step up in the bone yard in whistler and snapped my coller bone and tore my sholder .....its already been 7 weeks since the crash and the bone is still not fully healed and the sholder is just starting to build again and my sholder blade is out of place. I may not get a video together this season , but there is a few new pictures uploaded from before the crash. I hope everyone is having a great season
talk to ya soon

well ... I finally pulled it off ... I landed backflips on dirt... i tried 2 times on a wooden box jump and crashed both times ... than I went into the boneyard (whistler) and tried to flip the dirt spine. the 1st time on dirt I landed it and my feet came off but i rolled away than I nose cassed and than i over roated and piched the bike and the next try i landed it perfict and than I landed a bit nose heavy and a hand came off and i rolled away 1 handed . the next 2 times i nose cassed really bad and than went to the hospitle to treat my wounds.... I got stiches in my knee and other bumpes and bruises, prety much on the whole left side of my body but all that matters is that i landed backflips on dirt and its one more step closer to pro.

well ... today I even impressed my self.... I was bumbed out earlyer in the day because I backed away from a line that I new was in my skill level I just couldent get it through my head...... so my room mate and I went up to pemberton with my photographer (simon bedford) and took a look at a new gap with no intention to hit it .....we went to the top to check it out... I put my shin pads on , smiled at my room mate and started luging my bike back up the hill......I needed to redeem my self from backing down from the other line earlyer today so I went up and hit one over twice as big on my hard tail. the picture is in my gallary.

I was riding in poring rain for 2 days because i didnt want to get off my new stuff. the dirt jumps where muddy and I cept on sinking in but I was on "MY" bike so i didnt care ....I love riding and it dosent mater the weather, you are going to see me on my bike.
