Where did you grow up, and how has your hometown shaped who you are?
Ive grown up in Cape Town my whole life, I really love where I live and wouldn’t change anything. I went to a traditional all boys school where Rugby was the main sport and I was one of the only guys in there school that cycled. It really helped having friends that weren’t cyclists and enjoyed other things.
How would you describe your riding style in three words?
I think I ride quite aggressive but smoothly, I’ve raced enduro in the past and believe my technical skills are above average.
Do you have a favourite trail or terrain? What makes it special to you?
I don’t have an exact favourite trail but I really love super steep, slow and technical downhills as well as bike park trails.
