Fast…..ha ha.

Things you have done previous to mountain biking?

Been into board sports (skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing) my whole life. Always had a mountain bike and enjoy riding it every moment I can!

Where do you see mountain biking in the future?

I hope to see a lot more chairlift access mountain bike parks in New Zealand because there is so much potential for things like that. Bikes are going to continue to get lighter and stronger.

Which riders impress you the most?

Sam Hill (AUS) for his racing style. Darren Berrecloth (CND) for his Freeride talent. Cedric Gracia (FRN) has got to be the best and funniest all round mountain biker. I was pretty stoked when I meet Cedric during the 2005 Crankworx in Whistler, BC, Canada!

Favourite trail?

A-Line in Whistler Mountain Bike Park because its fun every time.
