• born: 1998
• home town: Willand, Devon
• bmx club: Burnham BMX
• biography: I used to watch my brother ride his BMX bike on the BMX track. I became interested and tried it for myself. My first race was at Bristol at the age of 4 and I have never looked back since. With the support of my family I have improved since the very first day I started. I have travelled all over the world because of BMX and it is a great experience. I hope this year, 2010, will be my year. I am going to race abroad as well as the English Nationals. I am really looking forward to riding for EA this year.
