Earliest BMX memory?
Earliest BMX memory was when I was with two childhood friends, my brother and a old head named Mark lol shout out Mark but he took us on a ride from Southside of Allentown up into Bethlehem to hit some trails (we all ate shit that day) and we saw some dudes shredding under a bridge. I remember this one dude had wild foot plants, so that was pretty much my first time seeing real tricks done on a bike.

Where does your drive to progress come from?
My drive to progress is just to hang wit the big boys nothing more nothing less.

How long have you been riding bikes?
Been riding BMX since August of 2012 so about 4 years.

Ever impress a girl with a trick?
Do I impress females with tricks? Hell yeah! I can be bit of a show off but every time I see a baddie I gotta pop sum nice.

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”.
