What are your strengths and weaknesses as a rider?
My strengths are in the rocky sections and in Muddy weather. My biggest weekness is that I don't train enough, I'm not a great jumper either. |

What parts have you switched out on your new Kona?
Wheels: Dee-max, 'coz they're yellow and look great, they are lighter and stronger than the original wheels and they are tubeless.
Tyres: I'm using Maxxis minnion Fronts on both ends, they are regular tyres but running tubeless with Stans sealant.
Bar and Stem: Sunline, the bars are 720mm wide and the direct mount Marzocchi stem is really light.
Saddle: Sunline V-one, black, it's light and narrow.

 |
Do you have any goals for this season?
I want to beat Woody and Alex.
What about Ash?
He can ride fast but he can't stay upright. |
