How long have you been riding?

What got you interested in BMX?
Started off racing when I was 3 or 4 and then when I was about 12 I started going to the skatepark after racing.
Biggest influences in BMX:
Guys in the local scene that make riding fun but push me to progress as well. Always enjoy riding with / watching Jack Kelly, DJ and Coopsy.
Where are you living at the moment? And where did you grow up?
lived and grown up in Mt Evelyn my entire life.
What does a regular Saturday out on the bike usually consist of?
My local skatepark is pretty quiet these days so I’ll usually head down there in the morning for a quiet roll and then either meet up with the FocalPoint crew or head out to another skatepark.
What are you doing for work these days?
Carpentry.
Top 3 places you’ve ridden over the years:
House park in Texas, Woodward west and Clairemont park San Diego.
What are your interests outside of Riding?
Hanging out with my girlfriend and building stuff.
Car you own/drive:
Ford xr6 falcon ute, Mitsibushi triton.
Tell us something about your local scene:
Pretty quiet at the moment, hand full of guys to ride with but I dont mind just putting head phones in and having a solo ride either.
What motivates you to go out and ride all the time?
Just the thought of riding taking me around the world. I’ve been pretty unlucky with injuries lately and the thing that gets me back on the bike is the thought of going back to America and riding as a career.
Favourite place you’ve travelled to and why?
San Diego. Just so many amazing spots to ride and a great place to meet pro riders I always looked up to.
Good meals to eat:
Any pasta or a good burger.

Amity affliction, Parkway drive, Meek mill and Asap Ferg.

What has BMX has taught you:
Be open minded to the possibilities in front of you and never give up. Just keep having fun and stacking clips.
