“With a background in BMX and BMX racing “finding the flow” was a passion project to highlight where the roots of my riding came from. I grew up going to local skate parks and watching the older riders. I learned bike control, how to be creative, and most importantly how to have fun. The great part about riding skate parks is that there is no specific way or movement to ride a certain feature. Riding skate parks has shaped me as a rider so that I can approach any trail or park with a different and creative style.
More and more skate parks are popping up in the local scene. Being a regular at skate parks, I thought it was important to highlight this type of riding. It gives people something else they can relate to. I have many different styles that I have incorporated into my riding.
I have a huge respect for surfing and always wanted to transition what I saw them do into my riding. The way they slash or carve a wave was a relatable way for me to lean into any berm or bowl corner. I always reel myself back in by riding a skate park. It gives me a fresh canvas to paint on. Every time at the park is a new opportunity to make something happen.
Skate parks create an awesome gathering place for everyone. Seeing the younger crowd learn and progress is what pushes my riding and inspires me to keep going because that’s where I came from. I truly believe in giving back and inspiring the younger generation and riding skate parks is the best way for me to do that. It also helps me stay in touch with the local scene.”
