Describe your riding style in three words - Old School and Slow.

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

I'd probably have to say the frame, the Nukeproof Pulse and of course the flat pedals.

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

The whole frame is prototype at the moment, but that will be a production frame come January. It'll be pretty similar to this one here but with a few little tweeks. I have some gold stanchions on my Marzocchi 888 forks That Marzocchi America did for me and then everything else is pretty much what you could buy off the shelf.

How would you describe the set up of your bike?

I always ride flat pedals so that has a bearing on my setup. I have my angles on the frame as they come standard for the Nukeproof Pulse but I run my Rear shock fairly slowly because I ride of the back a little more than most. I have my rear brake on the right because I grew up racing bmx and thats what I was used to.

What have been your best results so far this year?

Well I won National Champs this year and 3 nationals I think but for me my best result has probably gotta be getting 3rd place at the BMX worlds in my class.

What part makes the biggest difference on your bike?

For me its probably my Nukeproof flat pedals, I wouldn't get down the hill if I was clipped in!
