What are your riding goals? Stay
in shape and have fun, also to expose
my kids to recreational mountain
biking and racing
Why do you ride? Adventure and
fun, also like the competition and
constantly trying to get better.
What advice would you give a beginner rider? Set reasonable goals and
have fun. Don't let
bicycling become a source of stress.
If you could upgrade anything on your bike what would it
be? I can
barely do it justice as it
is...but a set of Crossmax SL wheels would be
nice!
Worst Wipeout: Too many
to choose from.
