Advice?: “Don’t let it get to your head.” Kyle Ebbett told me that when I was a young rider and I was starting to get recognized. He didn’t want me to get cocky and I think that’s the most important thing to remember if you want to go places.

Something Cool: One of the coolest things was my first shot in a magazine (Mountain Bike Action)when I was 13. It was from the “Freezride” in Whitfish Montana and I thought that it was really cool to see a picture of me in a magazine that I always read.

Favorite place to ride?: Highland slopestyle

Food: I love buffalo wings more than anything besides riding

What do you hate? Flat tires
