アスリートインタビュー

What is your all-time favourite riding destination?

Don’t wanna be too Frenchy but Portes du Soleil seems to be one of the best place I ever ride cause I love woods. Otherwise Queenstown is pretty sick aswell. 

What "No Shortcuts" means to you

No pain, no gain!

What do you get up to when you’re not doing bikes?

I am used to chilling around the island and enjoying nature. Beach & mountains. And of course I ride a lot of moto trials and enduro as well.

Outside of cycling, where do you draw inspiration from?

I think I am a guy who gets inspiration from life in general and people I love. I take example from people and try to use experiences around me to do not reproduce same mistake as my close people and family. I am always looking for experiences and take them to grow up as fast as I can.

You’re stranded on a desert island. What three things would you want with you?

Food of course and drink, but if its fully desert it means I will not survive so I will bring my bike an helmet and a riding kit to enjoy a last ride.

If you could put up a billboard to be seen by countless people every day, what would you put on it?

I will just tell them to follow their heart and do what they really like because its the only way to find happiness.
