Scariest Downhill moment: Came into the hip jump at the end of Triple Treat at Stromlo pretty fast and tried to keep it really low and managed to nose cased the big rock in the middle. Got worked big time, fully over the bars, raged dolled off the track down into all the rocks to the left...thought I was going to DIE! Amazingly I came out of it with only a slight graze to the elbow.
Best race results so far:
Sponsors: None so far...
What do you really want someone to say to you one day? Would you like a free bike and parts?
Racing or riding with friends??? Both, nothing like a bit of friendly rivalry
Food that makes me chuck: Brussel sprouts, "I don't care how you cook them Nan, they always tasted like crap!"
Food that makes me smile: Peanut butter and honey sandwiches, nice crunchy apple
Best downhill tip for newbies: Don't take it too serious, just have fun, speed will come!
Best downhill tip for experienced riders: A quiet bike is a fast bike *Note to self*
Best bike mod ever made: Run XC tubes or go tubeless
Who do you like to beat the most? Whoever is in second place
Biggest injury and how: Smashed my heel back in 2006. Was a wet club race at killingsworth on the super short track (57 sec was the record). slid out and high sided at the top a small rocky drop/step section and fell a couple of meters down and landed on a rock with the right foot taking the full impact. Was off the bike for over 10 weeks...should have stayed in bed that day! :(
