Built through experience. Driven by progression.
From competing on the biggest stages in mountain biking to helping riders unlock their own potential, Bike Minded is built on over two decades of real-world riding, coaching and passion for the sport.
My Story
Mountain biking has been my life for over 20 years.
I started riding at a young age and quickly became obsessed with pushing the limits of what was possible on a bike. That passion took me around the world competing professionally in dirt jump and slopestyle competitions, riding alongside some of the biggest names in mountain biking and performing tricks that helped push the sport forward.
Throughout my career I competed internationally, rode for leading brands and became known for technical progression, style and commitment. I was among the early riders helping pioneer front flips and progressive freestyle riding during one of the sport's fastest-growing eras. My career included competing at events such as Adidas Slopestyle, Red Bull District Ride, Crankworx events and many of the world's biggest dirt jump competitions.
Mountain biking has given me opportunities I could only have dreamed of—but more importantly, it's given me knowledge and experience that can't be learned from YouTube alone.
