Enduro

I was born in Kamloops, British Columbia in 1983. Singletrack zigzags through the hills behind my parents' house; bikes were freedom. I explored the hills and trails wherever and whenever I could. I was 12 when I got into XC racing. I was really into it until I was about 15, when I started focusing more on DH riding. Some of my friends who I raced with made the same transition, and we started to learn together. We started building big jumps and aggressive trails. We filmed ourselves riding and I made a short video. I entered the video in an online contest, the "Ultimate Freeride Challenge" and ended up winning. That was the beginning of my sponsored career in 2003. Specialized sponsored me then and I have been with Specialized ever since.

My focus has always been shooting photos and filming video segments, that is what I love to do. I really enjoy finding adventure in the mountains - whether it be challenging moves and airs or maybe it's a multiple day ride.

I like watching big mountain skiers and snowboarders, the way they shred the mountains in the snow inspires me on dirt. Besides riding, I surf, fish, and backcountry ski as much as I can.

Follow Me teaser released

March 11, 2010

Yo check it out! The teaser for Follow Me has just been released. I have ridden for this film in Kamloops, Sun Peaks, and Punta San Carlos, Mexico. It has been super fun, and having been to a lot of these shoots makes seeing the footage very funny and exciting. (If you haven't noticed, I get pretty fired up about bike movies)

Like I said in my last blog, we still have a few special shots we need to get but the premiere is coming up and I am getting stoked!

I think my favourite shot is the corner at 1:47 - front tire roost!
