What inspires you to compete?
The Rush of racing agianst other poeple and striving to be the best I can.
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
Usually i work teaching 4th grade as a naturalist 8-3 everyday. From there I do a short MTB ride or an hour or two of trials with my Ipod on and just zone out.I go to class a couple nights a week to work on my BA in psycology. I try to hit the gym 4-5 days a week but that depends on my schedule.
Describe your style...
My riding style, I have a lot of bmx dirt jumping influence in most of my riding. I tend to throw style and whips over jumps more then doing foot tricks. My favorite BMX trick for last 10 years is a turn down for some reason it just sticks out as the ultimate style trick, especially with all the varations of it out there.
Music?
Everything, BMX/4x I listen to old school rock and metal. Anything from pantera, slayer, to led zepplin, ZZ top, Skynard. Trials I listen to flowy hip hop like Outkast. For XC MTB i usally throw the ipod on shuffle and have a mix of good punk rock, classic rock, metal, country and hip hop.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Happy doing the things I love.
