At what age did you start BMXing and why?

I started riding BMX at the age of 13yrs.  I find BMXing a great way to relax, spend time with mates and to challenge myself to learn new things all at the same time.  For me BMXing allows me to express my creativity like no other sport.

Where's your favourite riding spot?

Valonia Skatepark - Auckland

Worst Crash:

My worst crash is when I slid out dropping into a quarter and caught my thumb on the way down, bending it backwards.  This ripped out a chunk of bone where a ligament was attached meaning I had to get surgery done and couldn't ride for 6 months.

What other hobbies do you have outside of BMXing

Gaming, Editing, Videography and Photography
