2017 RIDES: Black NS Bikes Decade 

I have lived in British Columbia for most of my life.  I started out riding downhill mostly, but hitting jumps was always my favourite thing to do.  One day I got my first Slopestyle bike and never looked back.  My home town of Prince George doesn't have any public dirt jumps so to ride Slopestyle and dirt jumps at home, my friends and I had to build everything first.  Over the past few years, we have been lucky enough to be able to build a couple of cool spots around our home town that we ride almost everyday we can.  I have been competing in the FMB World Tour since the age of 16, and got my Pro Licence in 2016 at the age of 19.  Since then I have been traveling to contests all over the world in an effort to reach the FMB Diamond Series.
