Describe your style...
I ride smooth, fast and in control. sometimes when im battling someone I push myself, but I always try to stay in control. I rarely crash. I pick the fastest lines and I am always looking for and trying faster and better lines. I always watch the pros and the best guys to see what lines there taking. I also watch all the bar to bar movies and watch the pros technics. I dedicate to my corners and if someone is trying to battle me, they`re gonna have to really battle me to get around; that`s if they can even keep up. I`m not a dirty rider, but I`m not afraid to show someone the tire and battle past them. I never give up. When someone seems to be pulling away, I push myself harder and I useally catch them in the end.
Why do you compete?
I compete to get experience, to get exposure, get results, to win, and mainly to have fun. When I enter a race and do well in it, it gives me a good feeling. It makes me strong and gives me confidence. When I don`t do so well, I look back at what happened, I see were I need to improve, and I learn from my mistakes and sometimes from others mistakes. If I don`t do so well I use it to motivate myself for the next race.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
When I grow up I want to be a professional Dirt Biker. I want to do something in the sport. You have just got to set your mind to it and want it more than every one else. I try my best.
