What inspires you to compete?
I saw one of my buddies jump those "dirt hills" like one to the other!!
Why do you like this sport?
The adrenaline rush you get before the 30 second board goes down, and you can't forget about...CHICKS Dig it!!
Describe your style...
(Riding Style) I use every inch of the track to create my lines staying out of the ruts already there, I have a pin it to win it, throw bike around kinda style. (Personality Style) Easy goin, laid back, and cool guy.
Music?
Fast pace, heavy metal, alternative rock, a little bit of underground garage bands, and Swishahouse screwed an chopped straight out of Houston.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
I am in the middle of trying to become a pro motocross rider but am having small troubles making it there with the lack of support, injuries, and bike problems. I am still trying my hardest to make it there and soon would like to see me and my support on the track with the top 20 each main event. However, if I fail at this I would like to open my own shop and build a race team, using my skills from MMI and putting them to use for the riders that have the same dream I have.
What i have to offer your company?
I have progressed a great deal over the years and I’ve reached a level that draws alot of attention. I’ve worked hard to maintain a positive image both on and off the track. I will proudly display company logos on myself, my bike, truck, and pit area. I will always list your company as a sponsor on race entry forms and mention your product when possible during any possible interviews.
Do you train?
Yes I train, I am in the gym everyday, I keep my truck loaded and ready to ride at either two tracks close by. I also go jog every night as well as work out at the house, this is an every day ordeal just excluding Fridays which is bike rebuild an fresh up day before races on the weekends. I am doing every thing I can this season to make a come back from a shattered femur which took me out last season, as well as starting completely from scratch with sponsors and support for 2011.
How's Life Treating You?
Life is treating me Great, I make just enough money to get me to work an back after I pay rent and have just enough left over to go racing. Me and my Fiance have a baby on the way she is at 8 weeks. I am looking to do great things in the Pro A Sport class this season!
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Well a pro motocross rider for sure if its pro amature so be it still top of my dream... other then that I would love to take my MMI schooling I learned out in Orlando, Florida and be able to work in the industry and hopefully one day have my own race team.
What inspires you to compete?
I saw supercross back in 99' and was hooked! I wake up wanting to work, ride, and spend time training harder to push my speed over the edge a little at a time without big injuries, like I have had over the years of racing. I eat, breathe, and sleep motocross!!
