Personal History
I am a aspiring freestyle rider just wanting to do more in the sport. I live in a small city in northern Canada where freestyle is very new. my friends and I are the only ones trying to progress the sport in the area. I love riding my bike and it's the best thing in my life!! I tend to ride for about 6 months out of the year due to the snowfall and cold weather. I've only just started to ride ramps in 2015 but have pushed myself to 75ft and have been doing some beginner tricks. the biggest tricks I have been working on is cliffhangers and double grabs. I am always told that I'm crazy and to not ride my bike the way I do for fear of injuries but I continue to do what I love and keep focused for myself.

Riding Goals
My goals this year are to perfect a double grabs, rock solids, turndown whips, and do cliffhangers with ease.
Two of the local guys Daylan Tomshak and Mason Bozarth have really helped me out a lot with riding tips and inspiring riding,they own a portable set up (Tomshak Fmx) and do shows across western Canada with riders such as Kris Foster, Kyle Demelo, Reagan Seig, Brett Turcotte, Luke Wheeler.
My other goals are to get started on a second freestyle park in the area for more riding and different variations of ramps, I own 160 acres of property perfect for building a fmx park.
Competitive Highlights
Highlight of 2018 so far has been riding at #camph with some pro riders getting tips and progress. Even had the chance to backflip for the first time into the foam pit!!
I performed a show in osoyoos bc for the first time and rode with Jeff fehr and Daylan Tomshak.
I performed a show in teepee creek Alberta for the teepeecreek stampede
I’ve made numerous trips to southern British Columbia to train with Kyle Demelo this year and am now moving to Kelowna British Columbia to further train next summer and perform more and more shows
