1) Tell us all a little bit about yourself, what do you like?
I am 19 years old, and am going to school in Durango, CO. I grew up in Boulder, where I learned to love outdoor sports
and started biking. When I'm not riding, I like to relax with friends, snowboard, play some video games, and just have a good time. College has been a ton of fun so far, and my classes are much more interesting
than in high school.
 2) You race 4X for YETI in the USA, you started with YETI on the RPM team, how was that?
RPM is a ton of fun. The team has the best support for a
junior team ever. Keith Darner does an awesome job of coordinating sponsors, racing, managing the team, and keeping everyone entertained at all times.
3) Apart from yourself, any young rippers we need to look out for on the RPM team?
Some of the younger riders like Matt Branney and Rory Eastman will be way up there in a few years.
4) I saw you at Fort William world cup, and then you went and travelled
to a few more world cups, what did you think to the races/tracks and whats your view on Europe?
Europe is a crazy place. Everyone is so fast, and the courses are so big
I didn't know what to think. A bit down the road, I'd really like to go back, and hopefully be a bit higher up.
5) Travelling round with the YETI guys must have been fun, any stand out moments?
Everyone on the team is so much fun to be around, there really aren't
any dull moments. Some wrestling matches involving Ross, Darner, and Damion do stand out though.
6) You Race a YETI DJ, what other sweet bikes do you get to ride, and are your bikes custom? if so how?
I'm currently riding a DJ, and a 4X. They are both custom (for my lanky
stature) and have a bit of length added to the top tube.
7) Do you get to the factory often? seen any sweet new stuff you can tell us about without getting in trouble?
Yeah, I make it in there quite a bit
8) Whats been the worst moment on a bike yet?
The bad moments are off of the bike.
9) What was the last bike you rode, where and when?
About 2 hours ago, I went and messed around on some DJ's behind my
dorm. The college has given me free reign of them and they're getting pretty awesome. They wind around through this pine forest, and some of them are getting pretty big.
10) Favourite place to ride?
Nor Cal.
11) Will Jared win worlds in Aus next year?
I sure hope so.
12) What are your race plans for next year? Still on YETI?
Hopefully for a long time.
12) Anybody you'd like to say thanks to and plug?
My parents of course, The Darners, Everyone at Yeti, and all of the sponsors that allow it to happen
