I have sooo many people to thank for this!!! Nigel Page for initially seeing my riding talents and helping me, Vanessa Quin for showing me whats possible and Jeff Steber at Intense for believing in me. Its snowing outside and I am doing work experience but, today is a GREAT day!!!!

Dad has been busy this year, he has launched www.gravitymountainbike.com and with that he is looking after a few junior racers under the title "GravityInc Sports Management". One of the first things he has sorted out is that I am promoting Monster Energy Sports drinks! Soooo.....

I am proud to announce that I, will be promoting Monster Energy Sports Drinks on my quest for European glory this coming season.

Just a little video of what's happened to me since last January... I really enjoyed making this, it was great as Dad helped with it too. Big thanks to Stu for putting it on MTBCut.tv.

I am pretty happy with my result this weekend. For the last 10 days I have been with my neighbours nan's house in the South of France and have not even seen a bike let alone ride one! Dad phoned me Thursday and asked if I wanted to do the IXS European Cup race in Chatel - training was Friday with qualifying on Saturday and I did not get back till Friday night! I was so desperate to ride my bike, I thought it would be fun!!

There is no racing at the moment and last week, my very first sponsors (other than mum and dad) came to visit. About 2 years ago just before I got my downhill bike, Graham and Claire saw how much we enjoyed biking and bought me and Kaos (my little brother) some body armour - they are now getting me more!! Thank you.

Anyway, as they have a big truck we thought it would be great to head over to the road gap - and jump the truck! (not pictured here as that is our Panda!!
