Loved doing this one - got back a couple of weeks ago from the RedBull MTB Academy with some of the best young talent in downhill racing, came away with a great mindset!

For 2012 we have put together a core group of sponsors and people dedicated to bringing the best out me as an athlete - whether it's bike maintenance, image production, athlete preparation or just a little family love! With that small army and knowing I can rely on the knowledge base of the athlete team from my recent trip away - I feel I can confidently take on the battle of World Cup racing.

During the season, we have a couple of great guys from uni doing mechanicing and video work - enjoy the first video 'webisode'...
