Looking back to when I started there’s a huge difference
When I got serious about Downhill competitions I was in my early twenties travelling the world with my bike, but there was no plan, so I was pretty fortunate. I did my education and left University but I was just seeing how it would go year by year. I was going with the flow and the opportunities that came. There was not much planning. I remember thinking that things were going well when I turned up to University with a brand new Ford Focus from a sponsor. I still don’t know how that was possible from just riding a bike! I feel really lucky that I’ve been able to combine something that I love with my job. I know that’s not the reality for many people.
