I remember this one dude had wild foot plants, so that was pretty much my first time seeing real tricks done on a bike.

What are some of your influences?
Some influences definitely my brother. He’s my biggest fan and he keeps it real with what I love and what I do so shout out BIGBRO!!! Influenced by other riders? Ehh, not really, but if I see something I like I may try to add it to my bag of tricks with a touch of my “style”.
