What does futur-3 mean to you?
It means that there is something else out there other than the rat race. It means that if you love what you do, you can make a living out of it. It means all those people who told me I’d never amount to anything were wrong. But thanks for the support anyway.
How many push ups did you do today?
Till I couldn’t do anymore.
Who are your idols?
Michael Jordan and Lance Armstrong. And David Hieatt, the guy who started Howies. And Banksy.
Any advice for the kids that look up to you?
Don’t. Decide what you want and then get it. Don’t let what I do or what people tell you effect your focus. If you want a role model, look at your parents. Safety first, always wear a helmet.
What defines your sport?
The fact that there are people out there who are more concerned with what is printed on a t-shirt, than the fact that there are talented kids who aren’t being encouraged to stay in the sport. Good work guys.
Who else do you love to ride with?
Any of Team BGR and all of the guys out there who ride because its what they love to do, rather than because they think they should. They know who they are.
Any other sponsors you want to thank?
Yeah, Salomon for my skis, boots, and my wetsuit. Scott for my poles, helmet and pads. AdrenalinX for my Dainese kit and Ski Bartletts for all the help. Cheers!
