How I got started

I started racing XC at age 13, and won the California XC state series. I always wanted to try downhill, so I picked up a decent downhill race bike, and thats what I am now focusing on today. With the help of a few companies I am going to put an impact in the jr. expert class for 2006

Goals for the Future

Next season I am planning on training as hard as I ever have, trying to qualify for the U.S. worlds team, and really getting some good results. I am riding everyday and working on everything I have trouble on. I am determined to show everyone what I can really do.

What inspires you to compete?

I have always been a competetive person since I was racing my friends down the streets. Now I am competeing with real competition in the expert class. What really inspires me to compete is winning, but most of all having fun.

Some Personal Information About Me:

I am a jounior at Fountain Valley High School. When I am not in school I am riding my bike at skateparks, dirt jumps , random downhill spots, and just having a good time. I started racing XC when I was 13, and I won every single race and the XC state series title. I felt like somthin was left out though. I picked up a cheap DH race bike and started racing DH in 2004. I loved everything about it and I am now focusing only on gravity events. I do still race some XC occasionally

Describe your style...

Bow legged, and arms straight as can be...Trying to fix it though.

Why do you compete?

I compete because thats where I feel I should be. I love how precise and perfect you have to be for the top spot. Quarter of a second off and your down three spots. I get a huge thrill when I race, and I live off of it.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Professional Mountain Biker.

- winning Sea Otter by 5 seconds
- going into the experts class
- being on the podium in two of the three nationals I went to for DH
