Hey Dante, how’s 2018 starting off for you?
My 2018 year has started off great, I've gotten several wins, podiums, and overall just good times at the races.
Do you have a trip planned for this season that you’re most excited about?
I'm most excited about the trip to Port Angeles, Washington in about 2 weeks for the second Pro GRT.
(Check out the Port Angeles results here)
Where is your favorite place you have traveled?
My favorite place I have traveled so far would have to be Port Angeles, that's why I am most excited for that trip.
Any weird customs or experiences you got to have while traveling?
Everything so far has been pretty normal and nothing out of the ordinary while traveling.
If you could ride with anyone in the world, who would you want to session with and where?
If I could ride with anyone in the world, I would have to say it would be Greg Minnar or Josh Bryceland (Ratboy) because I think that they are great riders and I like their accents lol. It would be pretty cool to session somewhere in Europe, I don't care where.
What does a typical day look like for you?
An ordinary day for me consists of going to school, doing my homework once I get home, and then either riding or working out.
Favorite TV show or movie to wind down to…
My favorite TV show would have to be Friends.
What advice would you give to younger athletes out there, just getting started?
A little advice I would like to give to the younger MTB generation would be to always remember that this sport is always just about having fun and at the end of the day it's just bikes so don't beat yourself up for the little things such as losing.
Any last thanks you or shout outs?
I would love to thank everyone that has believed in me and has put in the effort to get me to my races and to help me out along the way such as my Dad and my Mom. I would like to thank my current sponsors: Commencal Bikes, Monster Army, 100%, FSA, Onyx Racing, Sensus Grips, WD-40 Bike, and Cush Core. Not only my current sponsors but my old sponsors as well that got me to where I am today.
