q&a |
| what's it like riding with radical-lights |
Like having an unfair advantage. The lights are so bright and the balance between the helmet and bar lamps so perfect that my night laps are as fast as my day laps, they literally turn night into day! |
| goals for 2010/11? |
Overall Podium at 24 Solo Nationals and the Scott 24hr |
| what are you doing to achieve these goals? |
Training hard, every week, all year round |
| when did you begin cycling and why? |
In 1999 a mate and I brought $200 hard tails and took them out bush for fun on weekends, the passion for mountain bike grew stronger every year until I started racing in 2008, when it went from being a hobby to a central part of my life. |
| biggest influence? |
Mark Fenner |

Respect for others and knowing my own abilities and limits |
