How I got started

I have been doing a lot of freeriding ever since I came to USA. After a while, I felt like I had to progress in some way, which led me to a DH racing. I have started from the Beginner class racing my hardtail and worked my way up. In the Winter time, I was riding park a lot, and slowly transitioned completely to Park riding and Dirt Jumping.

Goals for the Future

Keep riding and progressing. Finally starting to develop my own style and filling up my bag of tricks.

What inspires you to compete?

Watching BMX and Dirt Jump competitions gets me pumped. So that is my inspiration

What has been your most embarrassing moment?

Recently, I was sessioning 500s over the hip at Rye Airfield and after a few nice landings I saw my friends coming over to session it. So, I wanted to show off a little and do another 500, but I didn't go as fast and pulled up too much, landed right on the back wheel, which popped out and my a** hit one of the steps on the ramp. I slid all the way down and took out the divider wall almost hitting a skater on the other side.  My day was done, and I barely got home and had a ruff night.

Some Personal Information About Me:
