Describe your riding style in three words - Loose, Out of Control.

What's your favourite bit of kit on your bike?

The Bruce frame is my favourite by far. It's all custom built with geometry that's all personalised to me.

Do you have any prototype parts or stuff the public can't get hold of on your bike?

The frame with this geometry is the only part I have that joe public can't get hold of. Everything else is stock and available to buy.

How would you describe the set up of your bike?

I have a low front end and everything as hard and stiff as I can get away with... Tyres at high pressures and lots of air up front in the forks... I just keep everything locked out and low down.

What have been your best results so far this year?

I won the Polish stop of the 4X Pro Tour this year and I also currently hold both the European and British Champs.

What part makes the biggest difference on your bike?

It's gotta be the tyres here racing in this car park. They make a massive difference to how your bike rides especially when it gets a bit looser out in the real world!
