Interview

Something must have inspired you to take up riding - when did you start and what inspired you?

It's kind of a long story but ill cut it down, there are two professional motorbike riders from mannum called brett and shane mettcalfe really cool dudes anyway shane was also really good at riding bikes and at the time (i was 11 haha) i couldnt afford a motorbike so i had to ride a bike and i used to go up to the bike track and watch him shread his bike and he used to talk to me and give me tips the rest is history.

Ever had time apart from your bike?

Yea when i was about 14-15 i got on the skateboard bandwagon for a bit but relised it wasnt for me.

Seems like these days it's best to be the best. What happened to just having fun - thoughts?

Haha we still have mad fun sessions, everyone just goofs around like the good old days, i think everone is just to serious about being better than the next guy its deffently not a good thing.

No one likes talking about it but have you encountered any setbacks such as injuries or for other reasons?
