How long have you been riding for: From when I got my first bike at the age of 4 and racing downhill for two and a half years.
What was your first race: My first race was round two of the SDA at Dunkeld in 2004 riding a Santacruz Bullit where I came 13th.
What first got you into mountain biking: I enjoyed going out on the bike from a young age and it just grew from there.
Whats your favourite place to ride in the UK, and why: I like to ride at Fort William when I get the chance because I enjoy riding the fast technical sections and the gondola is always a bonus.
Any races you have really enjoyed: I really enjoyed racing at Caersws this year because the track was really dusty, fast and had lots of jumps. It was also the second time I had raced an ancillotti which was great fun.
Favourite place to ride internationally, and why: Definitely Pleney, Morzine because of the variety of tracks and the hidden technical courses.
Where do you see yourself in five years time: Hopefully doing well on the world cup circuit!
Likes: Dusty tracks, technical courses, going out with mates, music, having a laugh, riding my bike.
Dislikes: Mechanicals during a race run, crashing, mud, stacking the dishwasher.
How do you prepare for a race: Try and get out on the bike as much as possible before a race and check the bikes working well.
Other Hobbies: Swimming, football, music.
Favourite Food: Stir fry
