Q&A - Personal
Why do you like this sport?
I love dirt. I like to fly, and I love the adrenaline rush of going fast through trees and over rocks to the point of losing control but holding back just enough to make it down the hill in one piece.
Describe your style...
Charge hard and fast at every possible moment. Push to the point of total exhaustion and then push some more. Keep trying to flow better each time.
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
I workout 5 days a week, run, ride my road bike, and ride a lot of cross country. I eat clean and train hard. Cardio is key. I also do reflex training. Believe it or not playing video games is a great training device for reaction time.
Music?
I listen to a lot of metal, it gets me pumped when I'm training. I have a very expansive musical taste and listen to anything from Jack Johnson to Greatful dead to Slayer. I love it all. I am not a fan of country however, some of it is ok.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Nobody ever really grows up, as long as you never slow down, you never grow old. It's perfectly fine to be a kid at heart forever. I am exactly what I want to be.
