What got you into the BMX world to begin with? I think I saw an X-Games on TV and was hooked from there.

You moved from Cape Cod, MA to Greenville, NC a few years ago. How do you like it so far? Yeah its been two years now and I love it.

What is the biggest misconception about Greenville? That people "train" and don't have fun. I think I have had more fun on and off my bike here then anywhere else.

Any plans to move back north? Not anytime soon.

Who are the people that you ride with the most now? I pretty much ride with Brandon Christie, Kelly Bolton, and Ryan Guettler every day but also ride with Mirra, Laird, Joey Johnstone, Johnny Deadwyler, Chris hughes, and Darden quite a bit.

What do you do outside of riding? Disk golf, fish, X Box, and chill with my friends

How would you describe your style? uhhhh... I dont know, haha barspins,tucks, and tailwhips??

What was the first BMX video you watched? Was it on VHS or DVD? That is a hard question, I know for sure it was VHS but not sure what was my first BMX video.  Wow, I cant remember at all, maybe an old Square One or the old Demolition? Hmmm...

What gets you motivated…with riding and just life in general? My family and friends for sure and watching videos gets me psyched to ride. I just try to enjoy life and have as much fun as possible

Top five bands at the moment: The Sword, Cut Copy, Empire of the Sun, Lil Wayne, Modest Mouse

You’re pretty stoked most of the time I see you, what keeps you that way? I just love being happy haha. I love all my frineds, you(Leigh Ramsdell) and just having a good time and riding my bike so when I mix it all together its even better.

Any last words? Thanks to my family and friends for helping me out all the time and keeping a smile on my face, Eastern for making sweet bikes and helping me out and having the best TM and team. Bern,Vans, and Staff for helping me out with shoes,helmets, and bike parts. Have fun and ride your bike!
