Who are some of the most important and influential people in your life and career?
First of all my parents, they drive wear I need to go, support me at races, and have helped me so much over the years. Chris Colbeck, Cory LeClerc, Ron Rocher and Chad Hendren have been some of my coach's and have helped me tremendously.
If you weren't a pro mountain biker, what would you be?
A bike team mechanic, a bike coach, personal trainer, or a ski racer.
Where is your favorite Place to Ride?
I basically live in whistler during the summer, so I would have to say Whistler. But a close second would be Cypress Mountain because it's steep, gnarly, and my house is two minutes from the bottom.
What would you list as a career highlight?
2008 Downhill National Champion
What band or song have you been listening to the most lately?
The Killers, Justice, MGMT, Coldplay and Metric
What are your biggest strengths on the bike?
Steep, gnarly, techy, and high speed stuff.
Do you have any advice to beginners?
If you can master the art of cornering then you're golden.
Do you remember what your first Bike was?
Norco- Jammer
What first got you into riding?
Watching the 2001 World Cup on Grouse Mountain and watching Brian Lopes, Fabein Barel and Rolad Green destroy everyone.
What do you enjoy most about riding for Norco?
The sense of family, that Norco doesn't have thousands of riders all over the world that are okay, but a select few that are amazing!
Key goals for 2009?
Going to all the Canada Cups racing a year up in Junior, winning the Junior Nationals and getting top 3 overall in the Canada Cup Series.
