Favorite Place to ride? Whistler when it isn’t crowded, Port Angeles WA or the local trails I can’t talk about
Favorite Style of Riding? Lately I’ve been into any natural terrain: steep or technical, but preferably fast. I love the feeling of carrying speed over technical sections and through sketchy turns, berms and gnarly steeps. I don’t mind going out for a solo all mountain pedal either – the kind of ride where you don’t see anyone else and you just go at your own pace. My preferences always change… I’ve been in love with jumpy trails, street riding, DH racing and pretty much every kind of riding over the years. I also dig fixed gears, road bikes, cruisers and tall bikes for around town. Pedals and wheels rule!
Hobbies other than riding? Hanging out with Jessica.
Best place on earth you have traveled to? As of right now? Where I am at is the best place to be… But there are a ton of places I want to go but haven’t had the chance.
