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

I don't know its always been fun for me I don't look into that much but yeah I do see a lot of people always trying to one up everyone.

Obviously week from week we learn something new. Do you apply this way of thinking when riding?

Yeah that's what makes it fun progressing trying to learn new stuff if you didn't learn new stuff riding would get pretty mundain.

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

Yeah I had injuries like everyone but the major set back was in jan 2008 when I was diagnosed with leukemia after 6 months of hospital, a coma and chemo I went into remission then after a couple months of rehabilitation I was back riding again was a long process to be able to ride for more than a half hour but now all day no worries.

When you're not riding what are you up to or doing?

Working or thinking of new ways to drive Jacqui a little more crazy or riding my motor bike or hanging out having a few beers with mates.
