Heard Saying:
"When I look down, I miss all the good stuff. When I look up, I just trip over things"
What Pumps you up?
A good night of partying with great tunes, mainly house and trance.
What makes you mad?
Injuries, or anything else that stops me from riding my bike. I also hate it when people lie! If people respect you, then there should be no problem with telling the truth!
What do you do to relax?
I take off somewhere quiet, normally at the top of a mountain or by a waterfall somewhere, and just enjoy the natural beauty of the world.
What makes you smile?
Sunrise, sunset and the people who are close to me.
What do you enjoy most about riding for Norco?
I enjoy the amount of involvement everyone in the company has in the sport. Even the top guys in the company enjoying taking the weekends off and rippin' it up.
Anything Else?
I really just want to thank everyone for supporting me. My parents have been there through everything. Jill, I wouldn't be where I am this season without you. Also a big thanks to my main sponsors; Norco, Azonic and Zeal Optics.
