What got you started?
I got started at a very young age. The moment I could get on a bike, I did. I always wanted to ride my sisters
bike cause it was bigger. I guess the rest is history from there.

What inspires you to ride?
The love of the challenge. I look at people around me and I just want to try it all. From Mountain bike racing,
Velodrome riding, Road biking, Duathlons, Vert Riding, Attempting to flatland...if it has a chain & pedals, I'll ride
it. I'm inspired by people

How did you find out about Vintagebmx?
From race_inc. He got me hooked again. I instantly was searching to build a Haro Master. 10 bikes later, I'm
still here. & I ain't leavin.

Your Favorite Topic?
I love Vintage BMX Talk cause of all the builds, but the recent surge in the Freestyle section has me all
involved again. I started in freestyle & it's all coming back.

What was your first trick?
Boomerang. Man did that feel awesome.

What is your hardest trick?
Cherrypicker. I just could never do those.
I ate concrete more times than I want to
talk about. I never really got hardcore into
freestyle, but the tricks I did do, I practiced
them a lot.

Have you learned a new trick?
nah....I still stick to the basics.
Lawnmowers, infiniti rolls, rock
walks....ROOTS baby...

What is your best memory?
Probably whippin my t-shirt @ ron wilkerson at one of the local Haro tours & he says..."Hey take it easy, I'm just
a freestyler." Classic. Signed it Ron Wilker"Rad"
worst memory = Breaking my wrist this past winter @ the indoor BMX track. Yea, I know, I race too....

What is your worst memory?

Are you riding anything else Extreme?
Mostly my road bike. Have to get my wrist strong again
so I can go do some endos.

What kind of bike do you ride now? have a
Skunkworks 24 for the track & a TT 04 Starsky.
Straight nasty bike. Thing is awesome.
