​

How did you get into MTB? I have been riding bikes my whole life and I competed in my first race in 2008 on a 20" bike. When we moved to Armidale in 2009, I raced a season on a tandem bike with Dad and the following year I decided to race on my own. I was hooked! I have been racing ever since!

Favourite track/place to ride: The Piney! Bright, VIC and Queenstown NZ are also lots of fun!


Pre-race rituals/lucky charms: I always have to put on some Chap Stick before racing, it feels funny without it!


Future goals: â€‹

  • To enjoy riding my bike for the rest of my life 

  • To place top 20 in a World Championship

  • Ride at Whistler

  • Compete in an EWS round
