For me its the jumps, you tend to be good at what you like I suppose ;)

Work as hard as they will let you in physical therapy and dont let yourself get bummed. You will be surprised to find how far you can push your limits. Getting your range of motion back should be first priority! I will probably make a stop back home to UT for the holidays, i'm pretty booked until then.

I try to ride flats 75% of the time in my sprints and about 50% of the time on the track. Obviously on a SX track the speeds are a little fast for flats so I stick to clips but normal tracks I actually prefer to ride flat pedals. Its good for skills and works different muscles in the legs.

I started racing when I was five and turned pro at 15 so I didn't have a whole lot of time for other sports. Tried church basketball but kept getting fouled out before halftime so then I went for volleyball but got dismissed one game for throwing the ball at a girls head, I guess you could say I don't do well with team sports. I shred my snowboard as much as I can in the winter, if I ever quit BMX I am headed straight to boardercross, also love to wakeboard, surf and longboard.

Double edge razor blades, I sharpen them every night before bed.

I don't remember training wheels.... parents say I was 2 1/2

I'll let my future kids do whatever they want, if that happens to be bmx then great... just as long as its not baton twirling I think I can support 'em.

Thanks! Racing internationally is a blast, the talent pool is so much deeper than here in the states. There are a lot of really skilled girls out there pushing the bar, it just makes me more motivated to be a better rider.

My favorite is the Chula Vista track, I never get sick of riding it. The hardest track would have to be Copenhagen this year, technical second straight with a tricky first corner made for a lot of WORK to get through it.

Traveling the world, it has given much an opportunity to see places I never would have otherwise seen and on someone else's dime makes it even better!

He made it home safe and sound last December, thanks for asking ;)

Injury is a part of sport, a sometimes consequence of taking the necessary risks to improve. I thrive off of pushing my own limits to see how far I can go and when that gets taken away from me due to an injury or something, it just fires me up to get back on the bike stronger. Fighting through the pain is no big deal when I know what the reward will be in the end...

Thanks Becky, I am glad you learned some new stuff. Hope your keeping on it!

No, unfortunately I am not that cool :) I did learn backflips at Woodward West in 2004 but havent had much time for ramps since then.

It depends on what your goals are as a pro. If you have plans to make it to the top AA its good to have some success as an amateur, winning mains as an expert so you know what what it takes. On the other hand if your just bored racing am then turn pro understanding you may be moto fill for a little while. I have seen people be successful at both, its just a little harder the latter way.

Rali- It would be sick if I could design my own race gear, but I have "people" that take care of that ;) fortunately they do a pretty good job making me look good in their duds. Has it really been 4 years? PS I always check my mattress when I go to hotels now, just so you know.

Very happy, especially considering the weekend started out really rough for me. I have always seemed to draw bad luck at the Worlds, but this year bad luck turned good in the end as I found a way to put it all behind me. I rode my own race, controlled what I could control, and came out third. I'll take it!
