Been riding for about 3 years properly, but since I could walk really!

No way near as much as I would like, every weekend usually.

What bike are you currently riding and talk us through your set up?
At the moment I’m riding a Norco Aurum 1 2012, bike is a large and nothing on the bike is stock bar the cranks and shock. Got my 2010 fox 40’s with a rock shox vivid shock, red industry nine wheel set, Shimano slx brakes and ice tech rotors, Sram xo gears and Renthal fatbars.

What types of riding do you normally do?
Mainly ride cross country/all Mountain, not many DH tracks I can easily get too unfortunately!

What was the last new bit of gear on your bike?
Hmm, think it was the ice tech rotors and SLX brakes.

What are your local trails?
Avil ball, Bratton, Dunkery, Combe Sydenham

What's your favourite part on your bike?
Have to be the wheels, super light, make an incredibly irritating noise and look sick!!

What other bikes do you own?
I’ve also got a Mondraker Foxy R 2012 that I mainly ride as the lack of downhill trails sucks!
