Hi and welcome to my profile! My name is Christopher Gallagher, i'm 16 years old from Scotland. I have been riding for about 3years now and im riding in the Scottish Downhill Series and the British downhill series. At the moment im just trying to get faster, and in the next year or so start placing in the top 10 of competitions. I mostly DH and Freeride, but ocassionally go dirt jumping and ride street on my hardtail to help with my overall bike handling. Im always making videos and taking photos for my company Float Productions, which is just a small media company, so ill probably post a few of our productions every now and again.

My plans and goals for next year are, to enter all the races i can and place in the top 20, which i think is easily achievable because at my last race in fort william if i hadn't crashed i would've placed about 12thish.

For any more details about me please email me at cigallagher@hotmail.co.uk, also if you want to see my website visit Float Productions, If you would like to see more photos of me please visit my Pinkbike album.

Why do you like this sport?

I like mountain biking because it is just plain fun, i get to hang out with mates, and ride whatever i feel like riding.

Why do you compete?

I compete because i like to be in a place where everyone around you wants to do the same thing and that is to ride.

Describe your style...

Well let me see, i think im quite quick, but also really like to go big off jumps and drops.

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

Sort of, basically everytime i go ride i try/learn something new. I go riding every weekend and in the summer after school i do some dirt jumping, that is how i get better just practicing.

What has been your most embarrassing moment?

Coming 44th in my first race, going over the bars on my first run, and into a tree on the second
