His "The Spot" series will be back online in no time featuring two new Lama grassroot riders, Jesse Drury and Dylan Papazian-Clare! This trio will most likely surprise you with their progression throughout the summer but most importantly with the camaraderie between them!

Came back with my old 2011 Majesty Park frame this year, best frame I’ve ever had so I had to get my hands back on it, I now ride a big Fox Float 36 up front too!

Why do you ride that particular frame?
I ride the Majesty Park for many reasons, I personally think it’s the best Park/Street frame you can get. It’s the lightest frame around, it’s really strong, mine is a 2011 and still going strong! it’s so easy to move around and to spin and hop! It’s the perfect frame for me.

Your impressions on your new ride?
It’s seriously just perfect, makes riding so easy and enjoyable!

Concerned about your bike weight? You know how much it weighs?
OF COURSE I AM. My bike currently sits at 24.8lbs, a while back it was 22.3lbs so you can say I’m a weight weenie.

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?
Yeah this winter has been brutal so I had to escape and get to Montreal for a week to ride Le Taz indoor park with other Lama buddies!! Other than that I still have to wait for Summer to arrive if I wanna ride my bike.

What are your plans once the weather warms up? Any trips you’re trying to make happen?
So many plans for this riding season, Highland, Montreal, BC trip, Halifax trip! gonna be insane!

How can people keep up with you these days?

 Yeah, trails are going to be rough for a while. Supersaturated with water already and still finding frost as little as 1-2' down.

 Sorry to hear that man. Mine are actually looking pretty good right now. Granted the last two days of rain probably massacred all of my jump buffing. EFFFFFF.

 I need to take a page out of your book, and get my own land. Some kids ruined all my lips on my small jumps.. Had to take them down due to safety issues and just pure frustration. I probably spent over 200 hours on them last year with just my self and 2 shovels...and it all came down in less than an hour =(

 I had the same problem and eventual demise at Ghettonia. I am very lucky that my family owns the property GP is on and I have the green light to do pretty much whatever I want with that area. This year my uncle donated a water pump, my dad donated a motor, and we're gonna have a motorized hose for watering the jumps and gardens. Hahhahaha. Hillbilly heaven!

 Oh buddy I wish!! Eventually I plan on getting my own chunk of land outside of the city putting a trailer there and calling it my summer home! I'm putting up trail cams at my good jumps close to home, just in case. 1 trail fatality a year is enough.

 The trail died... not anyone on it LOL. Should have made that a little more clear. Pic is on my profile if you want to see, I will warn you, it's not pretty.
