Downhill Racer

I started trick skating as a kid but never really got good at it. My neighborhood friend got a longboard and I was stoked on it. I got a longboard myself and started riding. After a while all my friends who longboarded with me stopped doing it and I was left by myself. I taught myself how to slide and footbreak and after a while I got better and wanted to hit bigger things. I discovered stuff on the web and was like "I want to do downhill". I got in contact with some ColoRADo rippers, started racing and the rest is history. I'm really grateful of the support my parents give me doing this and I wouldn't be doing this without them backing me. I met the Tactis crew at my second race in California in '08. After Maryhill '09 I did really good, hung out with the guys and was on the team. Tactis is great and hook it up with good equipment to keep rollin' good. My best racing accomplishments are: Munnsville '08 6th, 1st Amateur; Bonelli '08 3rd Juniors; 1st Squaw Peak Outlaw; 5th Buffalo Bill DH; 17th Maryhill '09, 2nd Juniors; 3rd NOCO Outlaw; 16th Bonelli '09, 5th Juniors; 2nd Ye Olde Winter Outlaw. Others: Favorite board=Deelite Nemesis/Deity Drakkar; Top Speed=66.1 mph; Favorite race=Buffalo Bill Downhill, Paskapoo DH Rodeo, Maryhill. Puerto Rico was a 6th Place Finish.
