How long have you been mountain biking?: I’ve been riding mountain bikes since I was about 10 years old. I started to downhill race at the age of 14.

How you got in to mountain biking?: My good friends and I in Pemberton used to ride our ridgid department store bikes on some little downhill trails behind our friends house. We then discovered the internet and saw all the different bikes out there with SHOCKS!! I saved up all my money and bought a mountain bike from Corsa Cycles. When I moved to Squamish some years later it was almost impossible not to mountain bike and eventually begin racing.
