I love to ride, I live to ride, I started riding when I was 3 years old to spend more time with my dad- he does Ironman and this need lots of training. I think I could ride nearly 20 km when I was 4 years old! I have kept my first bike cause it is just a cool bike, a Trek 12". I have heaps of bikes and so does my dad. I have at the moment a few bikes in my garage:
Down Hill: Commencal Supreme Mini DH
4X: Commencal Absolut and Commencal Max Max
Cross Country: Giant Trance
BMX:Dk 20"- "The sweet ride" and a 'highroller' custom Cruiser 24"
Skatepark:Commencal Max Max
Road and Time Trial: KenEvans (handmade)
For fun: Commencal Max Max and Lake Jumper made by me and my dad.
I also have two Kona's, a Giant STP and one MCS bike that my sponsor John from A1 Bikes gave me to keep cause I won my first World ranking #8 on this bike. Its polished up and ready for the 'pool room'. I have a lake jumper so I can ride it off the warf at my Pop's house or into the lake! I can't get into too much trouble from my mum cause my dad has heaps of bikes too! My dad has some really cool bikes, but we have room in our house for them, in winter my dad trains with a computrainer or we can just watchTV while riding. He has collected more and they are in lots of other places in the house now. My dad loves just walking past them- he thinks they are cool cause they are road bikes... but nah my are better!
I love to hang out with my friends Max, Vegas (formally known as Jordan) and Ezza at the skate park, dirt jumps or just at Stromlo we have heaps of fun. We travel around the Australia and the World riding BMX and mountain bikes and have what we call the 'travellin freak show' we have heaps of fun! We are high rollers! We also have fun at Stromez and Thredez doinn downhill (Stromlo and Thredbo).
One of the best things I have done is ride with elite Australian riders, Ben Cory and Jared Rando in Thredbo, I also rode ALINE in Whistler with Caroline Caz'Cow' Buchanan, Kye and my dad, that was a blast and I have rode around Isaacs with Caz and Tim (Eaton).
In 2008, this year was big learning experience for me, one week before we left for BMX Worlds in China, we found that my bike frame had cracked, my dad with the help of John of A1 Bikes and Neville Butler built me a new bike! These guys just gave us anything we needed and wished us good luck- I learnt that if you back yourself you can do anything and friends are the best.
In 2009, I have learnt more about bikes, how to fix them and just made heaps more friends. I love spending time in Thredbo and can ride with some great Aussies. I love riding with Max, "Den Bengate" (Ben), Matt Smith, Jordy and watch great riders like Ben Cory shred the mountain. This year I had my first big injury in DH, I fell off the chair lift in Thredbo but my BMX injury shattering my ankle was the worst. I sat through the Worlds knowing I had qualified- I am going to South Africa and am gonna really try hard. I still know that if you back yourself you can achieve and be successful in whatever you do.
