Describe your style...

I love the rough tracks at the nationals because I learned to ride on a rough track. I am faster in the turns and breaking-bumps.

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

I train on a training program that includes timed sprints and timed lap motos. Preparing for nationals, I run timed 30 minute motos and have to beat certain times. I work with Jeannie Carmicheal on my practice routines. I don`t race as much as I practice.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Motocross and Supercross Champion!
