When did you get into riding?
Back in 1992. I was 7. My first race was at Blue Lake (A Cross Country). I think I came last in U13. I started racing downhill in 1998, my first race was at Mt Buller on the Abom Track, I think there were about 400 riders and the track was very rough. My 3 inches of suspension didn't quite cut it, and I ended up getting a flat in my race run. Good introduction to Downhill... |

What other sports or hobbies are you into?
I also surf and snowboard when I get a chance. My girlfriend keeps me pretty busy.
Snowboarding is no longer one of my sports...This years broken arm has forced me to retire... |
 |
| |
What's your favourite track?
My favourite tracks are Ararat, Long Gully, Baw Baw and Mt Beauty. |
 |
What are your strengths and weaknesses as a rider?
None...I like jumping and cornering, most of the time I'm out of control. I can go fast... sometimes...but not often. One of my weaknesses is that I fall off alot, most of the time in race runs... |
 |
What parts have you switched out on your new ride?
I really don't know what parts to run, but a definate is tubeless, Sunline bars and stem, E-13 light guide, Rock shox forks and Sram components.
|
 |
What do you do for training?
I don't do much, an occasional run, Thursday nights at Long Gully, races and some XC when I get around to it...I should do more.... |
| |
Do you have any goals for this season?
I just want to qualify in a few races. To get a place in a race would be good. Just to Beat those damn Backhouse Boys...and Alex and Matt... |
