A-I really like jumping on my brother’s Distortion and taking runs down a dual slalom course or bike park.
Q-What’s your favorite thing to do when you are not riding a bike?
A-Working out and going to the gym. I am bit of a gym rat. I also have recently started going indoor bouldering and am really
enjoying that.

We’ve been in this business since 1972. We’ve seen fads come and go, but one thing has remained the same after all these years... The reason we are still here. It’s the same reason we threw our legs over our very first bike – pure fun, plain and simple. Even now, when we ride with our buddies, you can guarantee that there are hi-fives, laughs and the post-ride hang at the end of the day. We remain true to the good times on two wheels which GT was founded on because Fun is Serious Business.
