How I got started

I was into bmx for quite sometime. I rode a few contests and demos at the local skatepark, but bmx wasnt really for me. One of my friends and his father were into mountainbiking and i thought i should give it a try. After that first time, i was hooked. i started out on a cheap walmart bike and riding the local trails, and then i was introduced to the world of freeride/ urban riding. i primarily ride urban/park, with a little freeride and some xc to help stay in shape and keep my endurance.

Goals for the Future

to enter and win as many contests as i can, trying to earn sponsors, and increase my repituar. also finish my small bike film, "wrong side of the road"

the drive to be number 1!!!! i wont stop until i get to the top.
