When did you start riding and what made you start? Since 1997. I was originally interested in racing, but pro riders pulled me into this sport that just feels right.

What’s your riding style? Simply stripped down. More about flow than doing a lot of tricks.

Any big influences? In terms of riding, I’m inspired by those who do their own thing and make it look good!

What’s your killer move? Explain. Style and flow are more important than the tricks.

How’s the flatland environment in your country? It’s good. There’s lots of open spaces in Canada.

What was the highlight of your career? Traveling all over the world making friends. Getting to work on creative projects like bikes and clothing.

What is Red Bull Circle of Balance to you? To me, it’s the most respected contest in flatland.
