q&a |
| what's it like riding with radical-lights |
Super bright. So good that it feels a touch like cheating |
| goals for this season? |
Race as much as possible and try to have fun along the way |
| what are you doing to achieve these goals? |
Getting out on the bike 7 days a week |
| when did you begin cycling and why? |
Started riding 10 years ago. I was looking for something different and mountain biking looked like a challenge as well as being fun and rewarding |
| biggest influence? |
Lots of people along the way. I always recall 'Jimi' anecdotes while I'm riding. Often to remind myself to keep things in perspective and not to take things or myself too seriously |
| serious injuries? |
I must have brittle bones because I've broken just about every bone in my body including my back |
| strongest qualities as a racer? |
Knowing that I have a memory of a goldfish and any preceding endured pain is obliterated on the downhill |
| greatest cycling achievement to date |
Winning the National Series in 2004 and 2005. 2nd and 3rd at the 07 and 08 National Champs. Winning Wildside in 05/06 |
| worst race or cycling experience |
2005 World Championships in Livingo |
| favorite course? |
Anything at Stromlo. In particular the world champs course. It's a real mountain bikers course |
