What is your favorite part of riding a quad? My favorite part of riding a quad is the challenge. There is nothing better to me than looking at a new jump or a new trick and finally getting it. Also, I have had the chance to meet quite a few cool people in the process.
What is your dream quad? My dream quad is any Honda! Ride Red!
What are your goals for 2012? My goals for 2012 are to ride in more shows! Last year I got to ride in few around the Northwest. Now that I have had 72′ under my belt for a year I will hopefully be way busier!
What is your biggest ambition? My biggest ambition is to make a living from riding Freestyle Motocross! There would be nothing better than to get to travel the world doing what I love!
Words to remember you by? I would like to thank my family and friends for all their support! Without them and my sponsors I wouldn’t be able at the level I am today!
