A - Durr…my Diamondback Bandito, love it! Anywhere really, so long as there are jumpy, techie type things and it’s not raining!!

Q - Riding achievements?
A - I’ve not done many competitions but came 12th at the 05 Jib Jam with a busted fork. Also rode for Ride Guide TV on the Extreme sports channel and have been on photo shoots for MBUK magazine. Oh and I did a skid once! Was the best day of my life.

Q - Why ride for Diamondback?
A - Because they listen to the rider. All their products have been designed by riders for riders, and it works! Also as mainly a street rider, I need very strong kit, and Diamondback is just that. Great bunch of guys too.
