| What prompt you to begin riding?
I actually started riding because I wanted to race my boys up the local mountains in my hometown Luray, Va.
How long have you been riding, and what was your first bike?
I got my first bike which was a 2000 F4 in the spring of '01, but i couldn't legally ride it yet because you have to be 18 to have a motorcycle license in Va. So I had to wait until the end of may before I could ride, though I did sneak a few in before hand. I rode the F4 for a few thousand miles and sold it to get my current 2001 929.
What is your FAVORITE Motorcycle?
My 929 is the best, 23,000 miles of torture later she's still purring like a kitten.
What goes on inside your head as you are riding?
What can I do to make this trick NASTY!!!!!!
What's your favorite stunt?
Though I enjoy every trick I do, I'd say my favortie is coasting stoppies. There's something about that feeling when I let off the front brake and float for a second I can't help but to start laughing.
So, when you first started doing wheelies, how did it make you feel?
Wheelies are addicting, once I started I couldn't stop.
Who is your idol or the person that you looked up to and guided you to becoming a better rider?
Joe Brown. We met in Daytona and started riding together everyday. His standards were very high and he wouldn't accept me doing tricks that 'are garbage'. So I adapted his standards and set them to his level, which was kind of outlandish because he was one of the best. From then on out I
make sure all my tricks are NASTY!!!!
What modifications do you like best on sportbikes?
I just like mild gearing, braided brake lines, and maybe a scrape bar .
What future modifications if any are you planning on doing to your own bike?
Chrome and candy paint are going to be my next
mods!!!!!
In your opinion, what do you consider to be the worst mistake a rider can make in an emergency situation?
Panic!!! Then they either freeze or grab and handful of frontbrake.
Do you follow professional racing? If so, who is your favorite rider?
I followed racing when I was into turns, but haven't for awhile now.
What do you think about women racers?
Props to the females, I hope they win..
Are there any special places you like to ride to, hang out at, and basically frequent a lot?
We used to hit lakeland dragstrip but that becoming a hassle now. We
usually go down to Miami once every month or two to ride. We used to hit the spot up in Jacksonville with Geared-Up to stun. Now we hit Orlando more often because it's our closest spot.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I have to fix my bike(laughing). I enjoy the most spending time and riding with my wife Julie.
What would you say was your best moment so far on your bike? What would be the worst?
My best moment was in Guyana, South America we did a 4 hour show in a small arena surrounded by a sold out 8500 people. Every trick you could feel the roar vibrating your chest it was amazing. Not to mention a 3 hour autograph/picture session after the show it was out of control!!!!!! My worst moment would be when I washed out a stoppie and broke my collarbone.
are there days when you just don't feel like your head is around the task and you can't perform?
NEVER!!!!!!! I will ride anytime, anyday, and anywhere!!!!!
Where do you see yourself in a few years?
Hopefully a successful streetbike freestyler.
What do you have to say to all the new stunners out there currently coming into the scene?
Take your time at your tricks, rushing only leads to injury. Be careful
and be PROFESSIONAL!!!!!!!
