Back in 96 all that was ever on my mind was hockey. My good friend Wally would talk about mountain biking at the games and how much fun it was, he was riding a Fisher at the time. I took him up on a ride at one of the local mtb trails. I didn’t get a real mountain bike until 2002 and didn’t do a race until 2003. At some point through 2004 I heard some good stuff on 29er’s. In 2005 I got a paragon 29er and have been hooked on big wheels every since. I am pretty much self motivated but there has been a few people to help motivate me along the way, thanks Mr Dodd and Mr Arnold for giving me the desire to push that much harder. Getting to ride for the 29er crew to some maybe wouldn’t mean much but to my self its reaching a goal that I thought I never could. What better fun is there than riding the big wheels for hours on in on a Fisher. It is very cool being part of a crew that represents what I love.

Congrats to you and Chris D-wayne!
I remember not too long ago I used to beat you and when Chris was just a sport racer.
Well deserved thru hard work on both counts.
Thanks Craig, I remember your kid giving me a hard time at a race back in 04 that was awesome, I got to teach my little boy to do that!
