« Favorite riders:
Favorite riders would be The King of Vert Mat Hoffman, Van Homen, John Heaton and definitely the locals!
Who's had the biggest influence on your riding?
Well, ever since I saw John Heaton ride at last year's CFB Woodward [contest] I thought to myself "Now that's the kind of rider I wanna be": A rider who can bust some of the biggest tricks, be super smooth and have their own original style! Then when I was actually talking to him he was the coolest guy there, and thats the man who influenced me the most.
Favorite places to ride:
The Southbridge Park, the library rail, and the Big-Y parking lot
How do you deal with New England winters?
Well, up until this year we all would throw together a "beater" bike and huck ourselves off of snow jumps. We would street ride on the days the roads were somewhat dry and suffer from the freezing cold. But this year we got an indoor park, so now when it's super cold or snowing we just go inside and session the park!
Do you like contests (local or national)?
I like competing, I have done many comps up at Impact (Rhode Island) and some up in New York, and the Woodward CFB. I think they are wicked fun, and to see how much the riders and the sport have progressed since I have started riding... I am actually heading down to the CFB in Jacksonville Florida Wednesday!
What trick(s) do you wish you could instantly learn:
Table tops and truck drivers. I mean yeah, flips and flairs are fun, but I can't do a table top to save my life and a truck driver seems to be the hardest trick out there along with tailwhips.
Who are some New England riders who don't get the coverage or credit you think they deserve?
Lino Gonzales and Josh Remian are two of the best riders I have ever seen! Lino is the smoothest ramp rider, this kid does pro level flatland tricks and can fufanu anything and slide any handrail! Josh is totally insane, ice picking anything he can find, manuals down hand rails, and does the craziest technical tricks out there!
What do you like to do when you're not on your bike?
I like to sleep, I like bowling and my '78 Mustang. Other than that I am on my bike!
Final words:
Ride on and never give up!
