‘As someone important probably said: a day without bikes is a day wasted. I’ve taken this philosophy on board and my daily routine is centered around finding quality singletrack and maximising air time. I currently work in a fantastic Canberra bike shop, surrounded by high end bikes and high end bike knowledge. My favourite worldly possession (my Trek Slash) has won me local Enduro rounds and podiumed interstate. Most recently I traveled to Derby in Tasmania to compete in the EWS Qualifier. Racing is fantastic but the stoke of riding with passionate people is even better. That’s how Speedtucko Co. started – a social enterprise that aims to bring the fun and mishaps of mountain biking back into the spotlight. I’m incredibly grateful to spread the passion of riding with future mountain bikers.’

‘Since a young age, I’ve enjoyed exploring our local landscapes on bikes. I have extensive racing experience across various disciplines at a national level, including XCO, marathon, enduro, downhill, road, and track cycling. My most recent accomplishments include top 10 finishes at Port to Port and Cape to Cape, as well as winning the Enduro World Series qualifier at Falls Creek. My passion for cycling is also instantiated in my career; I have worked in several Canberra bike shops, and now work as a representative for Shimano Australia, the largest manufacturer and distributor of bicycle components in the country. For me, every great day starts with a bowl of porridge and pedal on a bicycle. It’s my pleasure to be imparting the fundamentals and benefits of this wholesome lifestyle onto the next generation.’
