How
long have you been riding trials?
5
Years
How
did you get into trials?
I've always been into my bikes from a young age and used
to watch videos (the old VCR tapes!!) of downhill and street/urban
riding. On one video I watched were a few clips of trials riding.
I thought it looked great fun and impressive, so from there I
started to try and imitate what I saw, but to a much lower level,
riding up small walls and dropping off as high as we dared!
My
earliest memory of seeing trials being performed in person was
by a rider called Stan Shaw. I was amazed at what he could do
and I was greatly influenced to progress at the sport.
What
is your best achievement to date?
Probably 54” sidehop, and 55” tap on a vertical wall,
and also making some good videos available to watch in the videos
section of the website.
What
are your goals in 2008?
To
film and edit another video during the summer, and include bigger
and better moves.
Who
are your most influential riders?
Damon
Watson - for making inspiring videos and doing the biggest lines
I've seen.
The
people I ride with influence me a great deal:
-
Andrew Willan for being a nutter who will push himself hard and
try anything! Which gives me motivation to try harder moves.
- Ben Slinger and Danny Butler for having great balance, control
and do the hardest of lines on natural (rocks).
Where
is your favourite place to ride?
In Bristol during the summer when there's lots of riders
out.
Who
are your sponsors?
