WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE VWW PIECE? AND CAN YOU WORK AND RIDE IN IT?
I don't have a favourite piece as I love all of it! From keeping me warm when it's cold, to keeping me cool when it's hot. The range of offers helps me pick and choose what I need to get the job done best. Very grateful for the support from Volcom that covers my two biggest passions, digging and riding. Hopefully, one day I could have a signature piece with them as part of the workwear range.
WHAT ARE A FEW OF YOUR FAVOURITE FEATURES OF THOSE PRODUCTS?
Style, Durability, and Function. I think the team has nailed it on the workwear range. From looking good to feeling good, it's always motivating knowing you have the best gear that suits the task at hand. It also holds up well when coming off the bike. Couldn't ask for any better!
WHAT INITIALLY DREW YOU TO VOLCOM?
I have always looked up to Volcom with the culture they have established among the Surf, Skate, and Snow Scene. With a lot of character and style, I’m motivated to help bring this into my world of building and riding. Having this opportunity to work with a brand like Volcom is a childhood dream and I look forward to what the future holds with them.
WHAT’S YOUR MORNING RITUAL BEFORE WORK? ANY FEED & COFFEE IN PARTICULAR?
No morning is the same for me, I do enjoy a good coffee and tunes are often a big part of it. But as long as I turn up on time and ready to go, that’s the key part to it.
IF YOU GET A DAY OFF TO DO ANYTHING YOU DESIRE, NO RIDING, NO TRAIL BUILDING, WHERE ARE YOU HEADING?
The skatepark! This is my getaway from my daily life and a good way to scratch the itch of the adrenaline part of my brain. I would love to have a part in designing and building them one day.
WHAT’S THE MOST HOURS YOU WORKED STRAIGHT ON A BUILD?
A Red Bull project I worked on in the Gold Coast of Australia. 7K in 7Days is what we were working on. To build a line for $7000 in 7 days. We were very ambitious on this build and clocked multiple 14+ hour days to achieve this. With large shark fins, stepdowns, gap jumpers to wall rides, even a grind box in there! We had to crack the lights out most nights when it got dark.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO AN ASPIRING TRAIL BUILDER?
My advice would be to work hard and never give up! Whether you're working on a community or a personal project, getting on a shovel is always rewarding. Nothing beats a fresh turn!
