"Every year I love coming to the USA BMX Grand Nationals. I missed the event last year and really missed not being there.
I go into every race with my sights set on doing my best and beating me and my personal best.
The grands experience is so much more than just the racing. It is one of my favorite events on the calendar. It's the same weekend as thanksgiving in America. The grands is about family, sponsors
and the bmx community. Every year we have a big thanksgiving dinner at the track and with extended family."
