Q&A

What brought you to find your sport?

I started BMX racing at age 5 at the Durango BMX track. My dad put my in clips immediately and would literally catch me every time I stopped before I fell over. BMX was a great way to find bike racing, and then Durango provided everything I needed to progress into MTB and road as well.

Who or what inspires you?

I try to find inspiration in all the little things and people I come across. The athlete that inspires me the most is Kobe Bryant, I'm a HUGE Lakers fan

If you could help create any flavor of Tailwind what would it be?
