Its crazy when I think about it, but the day I decided to quit my job and ride my bike full time was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

What a journey from a small town in England to traveling the world, and performing some of the most amazing things that I could only have dreamed about sitting at my desk.

I have always loved BMX and I always will, trends come and go, attitudes change like the direction of the wind, but my love for my bike never will, I think back to when I was 10 years old and I would borrow a friends bike and jump off of curbs, I still get that same feeling of sheer excitement when I have made the bike go up high in the air.

I remember when BMX was big the first time, to watching it almost disappear, to seeing great friends and riders give up there amazing talents at riding bikes, to being here now in a time when we have more contests than ever, great companies making bikes and being around the buzz that BMX generates, I am so stoked that my love for my bike kept me here for all these years.

It’s hard to imagine that the power of dreams and the willingness to take a chance has taken me further than I ever imagined.
