Occupation?(besides Riding)
Factory manager at Quamen Bikes
Motivation for riding?
It makes me happy, and the feeling that I get when I land a trick for the first time after I've been trying the same trick for months... there's no better feeling!
Whats your favorite trick?
I have 3. First is the trick that I made up, "The Reaper", when my foot is on the handlebar and I'm spinning no-handed. The Second is a "Time Machine", any variation... I just like to spin... FAST! The third is my "Jump-Whip", it's a inside carve on the backwheel, jump half-tailwhip to the front wheel, then I just do any of my combos from there.
Do you have any dream tricks that you hope to land one day?
I would have to say either a Hitchhiker, but instead of standing on the pegs I want to stand only on the handlebars(so its kind of backward) or some sort of nose wheelie where both of my feet are on the handlebars instead of the pegs.
How has biking effected your life?
It has definitely taught me to have alot more patience and discipline. Also I would have never met the the great friends that I have now, gone to the places I have, or had the opportunities that have been presented to me.
Whats you favorite place to ride and why?
Savons parking lot because no one bothers me. Liberty park because I ride in the center of the track where people are running so it helps me get used to riding in front of people. Tennis courts or basketball courts because there always flat! Riding with Jesse Puente on the boardwalk in Venice Beach... I'm going to miss that!
