Dream bike: lappiere or transition tr450 but a free one would be good.

Favourite 3 Australian trails (can you say why if possible – not crucial):

Majura pines, Canberra – It’s got heaps of different tracks and the dirt doesn’t hurt to crash on so you can go as hard as you want
Illinbah, QLD – because its sick and has to be one of the best nats tracks
Glenorchy, TAS – because it is an all round awesome track and has a bit of everything.

Overseas trail I want to ride the most: Pila, Italy and mont saint anne.

Pet Goats Name: Goat.

Scariest Downhill moment: Hmm probably at mt Stromlo at nationals on the weekend, hit my bars on a tree coming into the rock garden and flipped straight over the bars off the drop to the left of the rock garden. It was so scary until a tree caught me from falling the whole way down the drop. Theres others i just can’t think of them haha
