Modifications?
Ever since i was a weight weenie back when i was 14 or so, id always hack my seat post off super short, and i still do today haha. I also cut the flanges off my Pilgrim grips and then run the grip back words so the ends are on the inside. The ends are slightly flared so it's like a mini flange to but my hand up to. Thats about it!



Why do you ride that particular frame?

Your impressions on your new ride?
Honestly, its perfection. I think i've ridden a blacked out bike for almost 6-7 years straight and to finally change things up with this amazing flat titanium colour way, has me way to stoked! seriously the most dialled looking, and dialled feeling bike ive ever built. To stoked on how it all came together!



Concerned about your bike weight? You know how much it weighs?
I'm not to concerned on the weight of my bike anymore. I've been really fortunate to ride such badass components the last few years and luckily, they are pretty damn light!



We all know Canada doesn't see the best weather this time of year... How have you been passing the winter months? Where have you been getting most of your sessions in?
Yea, it can be rough for sure, especially being so isolated in such a small town like Kincardine for most of the winter. Ive been fortunate enough to ride All-In skatepark in Zurich Ontario and also have had some pretty awesome session at joyride with my toronto boys!

 

What are your plans this summer? Any trips you're trying to make happen? 
This summer has been pretty decent so far. Fresh weather has made riding that much better! Been fortunate enough to make it to Montreal and travel to toronto a few times to do lots of shredding. And when i'm back at home, i always gotta hit up my local park just out side of town in Port Elgin!


How can people keep up with you these days?
