Athlete talk
How and when did you start riding, how has it evolved ever since and what got you into racing?
I started riding when I was 4 with my family in Wisconsin. We would get a few hundred miles of trail riding a weekend. When I was 18 I moved to the mountains and bought a mountain sled and have not stopped yet. The mountains are like a giant skate park. The sport has evolved a lot in the last 6 years. Development in the mountain sled has changed the sport. More aggressive stance, more power, and better suspension give us the chance to go farther and jump bigger.
Who were/are your idols on and off the track?
Matt Hoffman/Kelly Slater
Do you have any specific goals for your riding the future?
To keep pushing and evolving the sport. Staying healthy and training hard. To do more trips and world exploration.
Any activities that aren’t sled related?
Surfing, BMX, mountain biking
