Overview

How I got started

Inventing and competing in Freestyle bike riding for the past 20 years. I have trails, a dirt jump track, 11 or so downhill runs, with loads of tech and steep sections including downhill doubles and road gaps in my town and neabry mtn ranges, I ride regularly indoors in a ramp park in Hackettstown, NJ and travel to Ohio to ride Ray`s Mountain bike park....

Goals for the Future

I plan on building a pump track and jump area on my property.  I will be helping build a few freeride trails in manhattan, Queens, NY.  Some in PA my home state as well..  I really can't wait till the ground dries up so I can go ride my favorite trails again....  Visit Whistler again, and hit up Highland Park in New Hampshire.  I missed it last year because I went to Whistler Again!,  but  plan on making a weekend stop there to ride and  meet the crew ...  I plan on competing in the east Coast Gravity Series as well.  I like the style of the events, and can't wait to get a new bike soon ...I'm gonna need one for sure....I want to give a big shout out to the go huckyourself crew.  Those that know ....  wassup?  PCH  exit 27  represents!    I love to ride in Oregon and washington too anytime I can....  the crew there is great and the trails are too....

 

Bio

Some Personal Information About Me:

I`ve been ridng competitively for almost twenty years on both BMX and Mountain bikes. I love the outdoors, I grew up in Pennsylvania , originally from Staten Island, NY and have been travelling both on and off my bike for a long time. I regularly ride mtn bikes now, and have chosen to race downhill and compete in the freestyle events as they grow. I am full time electrician in my families businesses and a religious trail builder . I help coordinate events for bike riding in the summer, and help out with filiming for numerous video companies. I`d like to share what I have and what I`m about with you . I would like to have the opportunity to show you my talents if you`re interested. take a look.

Describe your style...

I love riding natural objects, rock gardens, steep tech terrain,big mountain runs wherever. I like to dirt jump and ride street, and am really into riding ramps. I like to keep up with the new tricks and link them together. I enjoy finding lines to ride in and out of the woods.

Music?

How's Life Treating You?

Mylife is great .  I live life trying to help out our counter culture succeed....  I beleive we're all doing a great job at that.  building more freeride trails, coaching more riders and influencing them through videos or hands on help....  trail building seminars area lways a good way to congregate too.  I think there is a change going on in the human race. An undertone.  How crazy is it? well tail whips ,and back flips off bridge stunts are starting to be a normal sight now ?  Hmmm?  let me think....

I still ove a long xc ride and wicked east coast singletrack terrain is my fancy.... 

I recently asked my longtime girlfriend francesca to Marry me .  She said yes.  that was a big event over the winter.  I had her relatives over our house for the holidays  and popped the Q right in front of them all....  It was awesome.... She's awesome....
My brother paul and I will be raicng this season together.  We have a support truck nad a few sponsors that are helping out.  We will be competing in the East coast Gravity Series.

Our house is getting a  deck on it this spring, and the back yard is going to have a pump track on it.  So Life is great I must say..... just dandy.....

Do you like to travel? What's your best (clean) road trip story?

the best road trip this year was going to Whistler, BC with Francesca for Crankworkx. We both compteted in the downhill races and met alot of riders from all over the world , We are a part of a counterculture that seems to be ever growing with the sport of Mountain biking. It was uplifting to see families spending valuable time together on the bikes....We had a blast... I can`t wait to go back again....
