Dream trail: A blue square that I can turn into a black diamond by adding high speed and creative lines. A trail technical enough that I never nail every line and can’t wait to pedal back to the top and try again!

Music: A little bit of everything, these days I'm on the classic rock and 90's HipHop
Local trails: Old Boot to Moon Boot
Dream trail: Big flowy jumps and berms, freshly built so your tires leave tracks, with some straight shots of fresh loam added in for good measure. Maybe toss in a skinny or teeter totter at the start to keep it real.
