How did you get into riding MTB? I rode pro-am BMX freestyle for 11 years before I even got on a mountain bike. Some of my mountain bike friends I rode with kept telling me to get into it because they thought I could do well. I had a lot of fun the first few days riding a mountain bike and learning all the same tricks on the mountain bike. I picked up the tricks really easily because all I had to do was convert the way the bike handled in the air, all my tricks just transfered over perfectly. In 2005 I started riding in Mountain bike contests, shooting and filming for the right media at the right time, after that everything flowed very quickly.
