Q & A

How did you find BMX? How old were you?
I rode dirt bikes all the time as well as my bicycle. One time at age 11 while out at Indian Dunes, CA, my Dad noticed they were holding “bicycle” motocross races nearby. So the next week my brother went. He loved it, so the next week I went and the rest is BMX history.
What do you love most about BMX?
Riding at the track and traveling.
What do you like least about BMX?
People who have never competed on the Pro level before yet they are in charge and trying to impose their lame brain ideas/rules.
Best place BMX has taken you?
The bank!
Worst place BMX has taken you?
The hospital :-(
What do you miss most when you are traveling?
Nothing... cause I love being on the road.
