I used to introduce myself as a pro rider, but that doesnt seem accurate anymore. Granted, I am very passionately dedicated to things involving 2 wheels, but its not just the bikes I love: its the lifestyle that theyve led me to lead. Bikes are one of the tools that Ive chosen as a means or a reason to travel, express myself, push myself, hurt myself, frustrate myself, be proud of myself, keep myself healthy, and make myself happy. I hate to think of where I would be if I had never started riding bikes 11 yrs ago in Santa Barbara.

Since then, during the past 11 yrs, Ive tried my best to do a lot of really cool things. I spent 5 years traveling the US on the NORBA circuit (back when there was a NORBA) as a privateer, racing pro Downhill and Mountain Cross. I qualified to race in a few of the North American World Cup DH races, which was an absolutely amazing experience. My time with bikes started out being very dedicated to racing, and I learned so much from those experiences. You cant help but learn from the fastest pros in the world when you are out there with them, as long as you are willing to pay attention, and ask a few questions.

As my riding and racing progressed and evolved, I found myself really drawn to dirt jumping, slopestyle, and the development of freeriding in general. The creativity and freedom that I found off the racetracks became really addictive. The feeling of learning new tricks, getting through bigger and bigger lines of jumps, and finding new and scary lines in skateparks became consuming. Pulling supermans and backflips on dirt has been one of the best rewards for all the crashes, bruises, and blood. Participating in various jump jams and slopestyle comps (Slope Sistair, Womenzworx, Teva Games, etc) always serves to inspire me to learn more and keep progressing.

My latest projects have included filming with various producers, including Bones Over Metal for the film Awesome Land: Women of Dirt. I also have a section in Don Hamptons film Latitudes, along with various ads and photos in major cycling mags like Decline and Bike. I have also worked with many photographers doing shoots for major manufacturers catalogues, including Dakine and Rocky Mountain.
