Interview:
When did mountain biking become a way of life for you?
1999, when I got my first real bike
Who do you respect in mountain biking?
Anyone who works hard, top of the list Fabien Barel
What has been your favourite moment in mountain biking since you started riding?
In 2007 when I had an epiphany while out riding one day to move to Canada to be in the best place for riding on Earth
Who do you ride with regularly?
My girlfriend Natalie, the Knolly boys and Chayse Marshall, but I tend to be a bit of a lone ranger
Favourite bike film section and why?
Tanscontinental (headliners 2) 1999, I love the section between the very start and the finish credits, it's for sure old school World Cup DH, when Nico and Peaty used to battle it out, long courses and skins suits were all the rage, I used to get inspired to go train when i watched it and it still fires me up today.
What do you have planned for next season?
Race the full Canada Cup series, some filming and just generally be out riding as much as I can enjoying my awesome fleet of Knolly bikes.
Any shoutouts?
Everyone at Knolly Bikes, my amazing girlfriend for everything, My parents for being my biggest fans, and my coach and mentor Mark Nohra for not letting me faff about with my training and nutrition
