Favourite tune to listen to on the bike:Β 
It would have to be a mix of old school rap and current rap. Biggie small, nas, 2pac etc.

Β 
Tell us about yourself, who are you and what makes you so rad?Β 
Scottish lad, living the absolute dream. Racing/riding bikes has pretty much been my life. I get to surround myself with likeminded people and travel the world doing what I love. Bikes are pretty much all I know, and that’s fine with me haha.Β

Competition or just riding?
I like the competition at races and the chance to push yourself and to try achieve what I work so hard for. But nothing beats just riding with a good group of friends and having a laugh trying fun lines and pushing each other.Β 

What do you love about riding?
I love that it can take away any stress or any things you may have on your mind. It’s a refreshing way to clear the mind for sure.Β 
Β 
What you’re most proud of achieving through riding?Β 
I think honestly seeing people stoked on my riding and content is what is awarding for me. I get a lot of positive feedback which is awesome. Trying to be as approachable as possible and having time for people. It can be tough, but In person I feel like I’m pretty outgoing with fans etc and people who just watch my stuff.Β

What's one tip you would give to a grom wanting to become a pro rider, or to someone looking to make their own path to success in the industry?
I think you have to enjoy it, ride your bike as much as you can. Your skills will improve naturally that way. make sure you smash out content/videos on your social media channels and most importantly be a good human. Be professional and have good manors, and use social media as a place of stoke and kindness, not a place to troll and cause havoc. I see too many kids doing that nowadays and it’s a shame. Sponsors look at that stuff so keep that in mind!Β
