Riding specialty: Freestyle Snowmobiling

 

Favorite Holy Sh!t Moment: the first time hitting a ramp after weeks of off time

 

Who taught me most/ what did they do to make a difference: Scott Murray and Josh Penner helped me with every technical detail about freestyle that i didnt know before. The amount i have progressed since seeing them (one year) is more than ive had since i started in 2013. Im grateful to have met such chill dudes that know their stuff and were willing to teach me. 

 

Favourite rider growing up: Ive always looked up to all the Freestyle competitors in Xgames and Slednecks, but Heath Frisby is the reason i got into ramping and continue to want to pursue a career such as his. His style and personality jive with his skill and talent, it’s something ive always strived towards. I strive to bring Freestyle snowmobiling to a level that Travis Pastrana and Nitro World Games brought to dirtbikes. 

 

Hobbies: sleds, dirtbikes, mountain bikes, mud quading, snowboarding, seadoo racing and watersports, classic cars, collecting signed jerseys from riders ive always looked up to, any sort of adventuring, building/welding random projects i think are cool or handy.
