After riding for DMR for a number of years, he has recently chose to move to Flow as he seems to fit ou relaxed attitude and enjoyment of riding. He is known for his huge airs, amazing street and park skills, his perfect turndowns, and being able to flow through anyset of trails with a massive amount of style. He never seems to fail to impress me everytime we ride together, his bike handling skills are incredible, and has the ability to do anything.
