Tell us a bit about you: BMX Flatland has been the biggest part of my life for the last 22 years. I fell in love with the sport the first time I saw it. I got my first bike at age 16 and started practicing daily. In my 20s, I spent 3 years in China doing shows, then traveled and competed internationally for a couple of years afterward. I then took a break from competing to start my own BMX shows company.
