Q.  Firstly, not many people will know this but you’ve come onto the mtb scene having competed at a high level in schoolboy MotoX. How do you find the transition to DH racing? What have been your noticeable differences?

A.     I found moving from mx to mtb went really smooth for me as the techniques crossover really well, so I’ve always felt comfortable as soon as I started racing mtb! I noticed I’ve always been really strong on a mtb and I think that’s where I’m used to throwing around a much heavier bike.
