Backwoods Banger - Video
With the season approaching quickly, time on the bike is crucial!
Getting to the World Cups are my main goal and with one year left before I'm able to compete, I'm more excited than ever!
Heading into the race season the #1 ranked 16-year old in the US, this season should be one of the best yet. I will be traveling all around the US chasing the National Series, occasional local races when possible, and then also being one of the Mont-Sainte-Anne forerunners. Next year is the big one though, being 17 and old enough to finally race in the Junior World Cup class is going to be one of the greatest experiences yet.
Spending the off-season dialing in the downhill bike before the race season kicks off in May.

Nice, love to see riding in PV. I first saw you on Instagram and wished you luck for your season (Bam_Bam_Bikes). When I come back to PV or the area I may try to get in touch with you to show me some riding. I didn't start Mountain Biking until college, easy transition from dirt biking.

So good to see all this new talent coming up in the US. Hoping we can get just as many riders or even half the amount that the UK does in the world cups. Good luck man!

Would have bet money on this being spring in southeastern ontario. He deadfall, deciduous fall and mucky terrain can make it hard to dig a decent dowhill (or any) track this time of year. Oh well, now I live in AZ! Great vid brother.
