How did you feel getting the CCOMTB Downhiller of the year: I was stoked. Felt good to be recognized.
Anyone you would like to thank: Yes, first off I would like to thank all the people who partook in supporting a junior such as me. Darren from Giant Bicycles, Tony from Erina Bikeworx, Wayno and the crew from SCV imports and Daniel from High Roller Energy. Without the support these people have given me I would in no way be where I am today with Downhilling. My Parents took a huge part in my riding. They drove me to all the races, helped me fund almost everything, without them I wouldn't of even had a mountain bike in the first place.
Thank you very much!!
