THE PARKS PRO'S

I originally started racing BMX at the age of 5, it all started when I followed my older brother into the sport after we had driven past the local BMX track one day. I was also doing Teakwondo at that stage up until the age of 8 when I went to the BMX World Championships and I had to focus on fewer sports and gave up Teakwondo. I have always liked being active and playing some kind of sport. Over the years I have done Netball, Oz-tag, Swimming, Soccer and Golf. At the age of 15 all I wanted to do was ride a bike, I rode at the skate park lots, went dirt jumping as well as racing BMX.
How I got into mountain biking is a funny story, it was purely by accident almost. A mate of mine made a deal that if he came to a BMX race then I would have to race a 4x race. At my 1st 4x race I was winning and Katrina Miller and I took each other out but I had so much fun and loved the atmosphere that was at mountain bike races, that I decided I was going to take up 4x.
It was only a year later when I was 16 that I decided to give Downhill a go, this was definitely not as easy as crossing over from BMX to 4x. I had lots more skills to learn and many trees to dodge.
To this day I enjoy doing all 3 disciplines BMX, 4x and Downhill and just love riding my bikes. I look back at where I have come from over the years and where my riding can take me and look forward to the future and what it holds.
