  • How are you feeling following your dirt bike crash in November?

    • Do you have any tips or tricks for recovering from injury? How do you fill your time off the bike?

    • Are dirt bikes just a hobby for you, or is it something you use to get better on the mountain bike?



  • Like a lot of people, I imagine you started riding bikes as a kid. When did you realize that you were more talented, or maybe just more passionate, than the other kids?

  • Who were the riders who inspired you as you were growing up?

  • Are there any tricks you really wanted to include in a video like Home Office, but weren’t able to complete? How do you know when it’s time to give up on a trick and move on?

  • Do you consider yourself a perfectionist?

  • Where do you get your confidence?

  • Which video project are you the most proud of?

  • What are some of the skills that cross over between trials and freeride mountain biking?

  • What’s the secret to pulling off a really good tail whip?

  • What are some of the best mountain bike trails you have ridden around the world?

  • What do you have to say to younger riders who look up to you?

  • If you weren’t a trials rider and Red Bull athlete, what would you be doing instead?
