How long have you been riding for: Since September 2004, 2 and a half years.
What was your first race: AstonHill DH3, September 2004. I finished 3^rd place.

What first got you into mountain biking: My brother Nick got me into it as he was going to do it for training for motocross, then it snowballed on from there.

Who’s your favourite rider, and why: I don’t really have a favourite rider, I like a lot of different riders quality’s, like Sam Hill’s “Do or Die” approach to racing, Steve Peat’s coolness and always knowing his next move and Minnaar’s consistency.

What’s your favourite place to ride in the UK, and why: Fort William because it’s so hard to hit perfect every run and is so physically demanding.

Favourite place to ride internationally, and why: Morzine because it’s the only place I’ve ridden internationally!

Where do you see yourself in five years time: Hopefully a big name on the world cup scene and representing GB at the Worlds and European rounds.

Likes: Curry.
Dislikes: Mechanicals on race runs.
Who do you admire: Ricky Carmichael.

How do you prepare for a race: It’s about getting the balance between riding enough and resting enough. I train hard the week before a race then ease of into the race.

Other Hobbies: Motocross, swimming.
Favourite Food: Curry.

Any Shout-outs: Mum, Dad and brothers for all there support, Ian Warby for all his help and support and Bill for giving me the opportunity to ride Ancillotti and Andy for keeping my bike in great condition!
