| So what's going on? I’ve been staying in the San Diego area and spending a lot of time at Evolution Training Grounds. I’ve been working with MXF (MotoXFundamentals) riding schools. MXF has helped me in originating new tricks while maintaining a certain level of safety. It is the most in depth training for FMX that I’ve ever done. This summer I’ll be on the road riding demos & contests. In between stops I’ll be working on a back flip. Stay tuned! Listed below is a my schedule: |
| How long have you been riding? 20 years. |
| When did you turn pro? 1996 |
| What made you decide to concentrate on FMX? Self Expression. |
| How long have you been riding FMX? 1 year. |
| How would you describe your style? Aggressive. |
| Ramps, or natural hits? Ramps give you that consistent pop you need to execute huge tricks. But I like to hit a combination of the two. |
| What advice would you give someone wanting to progress their riding? It’s mind over matter. Never give up! And, If you’re extremely serious then go to a FMX riding school. |
| What do you think about competitions? I prefer to ride demos. However, I’m a former racer so I can appreciate a good competition. |
| How has being located in San Diego influenced your riding? Being around people that are all as wide open into freestyle as me! I have had several video opportunities as well as some new sponsors. I love it here! |
| Who are some of the people you consider are taking FMX to the next Level? Evolution Freestyle Ramps for giving people a place and a chance to evolve with their tricks. Mike Metzger with his 80’ back flip. Tyler King for his new trick originality. Nate Adams with his huge extensions. I also give credit to the X-games and the Gravity Games for taking FMX to the mainstream media. |
| What motivates you to ride? Progression. |
| Are you carrying any metal around with you? Metal? Yeah, I broke my arm 5 times and have 2 plates, 10 screws, and 3 pins. I broke my foot, I dislocated both shoulders, I dislocated my elbow, I broke my nose, I had 3rd degree burns on my back from a rear tire burn out, And broke my collar bone. |
| What do you do when you're not riding? Right now I’m working on several entrepreneurial projects including things like Clothing, Video productions, Acting, Music, Ramp building, & Jump tours to name a few. I also like to spend time at the beach alone just thinking. |
| What's your favorite day of the week? Each day is better than the last. I live everyday like it’s my last because one day it will be. |
| Final words? Want some get some bad enough take some! I would like to think everyone who has been behind me from the beginning. I love you all. Piece Out. |
