Quote: "I try to ride my bike every other day if not every day, but sometimes you go two or three days with out riding. So it's no big deal, it just gets you more stoked to ride your bike. So I ride my bike about every other day and then 2 days before a contest I don't ride it at all, so then I'm super stoked to ride it when I get there! It's pretty rough on the body when you go down you know, I want to be pretty much perfect at a contest. You can get banged up pretty good!"
