| Most memorable Race/Riding experience? |
Too many to list!! Any trip out of the country to race is awesome...even more so when you win! Also, the 3rd main at the ABA Grands (when a title is on the line) is a real pressure-cooker and brings out the butterflies like nothing else! Those are the laps you never forget! |
| If you were not a Pro Racer, where would you be? |
I can't even imagine where I would be without BMX! It's been an irreplaceable part of my life! I guess I never had a back-up plan! HA! |
| What drives you to be the best? |
The feeling you get seeing your goals fulfilled...realizing all the blood, sweat and tears are worth it! Depositing the first place checks is a good feeling as well! |
| When you are not on your bike, what do you fill your time doing? |
I spend a lot of time driving the Redline rig around the country and handling the daily needs of our team and pit set-up. |
| Your top 5 bands? |
I'm pretty tired of EVERYTHING on my MP3 player. I listen to satellite radio and change the channels A LOT! I'm no fan of country, tejano, jazz, or new rap...anything else goes. |
| Your top 5 Athletes? |
Denzel Stein, Kyle Bennet, Todd Slavik, Javier Colombo, 'The Wildman' Todd Lyons, John Purse (sorry, that's six) |
| Likes? |
Pasta, sunny days at the trails/track with the buddies, Rio de Janeiro, bicep-curls, Thailand, Fast Twitch, hole-shots |
| Dislikes? |
Slow drivers in the left lane, people who write checks at the store, litterbugs, injuries, growing old |
| What is your main goal for 2009 and beyond? |
Return to health and racing after a devastating 2008 season. I want to perform well and take the time to enjoy the remaining years of my racing career! |
