Born to ride off the couch! Grew up destroying construction sites in Morgan Hill, CA to make the Ultimate bike tracks! I'd like to thank all those security guards for chasing me, I'd never be as fast as I am if it weren't for those Guards and their persistence... I've always felt I was "hand picked with care" to become this extreme athlete, thanks Chiquita for that quote! I can swim like a Mo-fo, but I don't know how that will  help me here in this desert! I've been training all this summer on my skateboard for this race, I'm really excited to see how that strategy worked out!?!
