Hi Samantha, how’s 2018 kicking off for you? 

Pretty good start to it! Took my 4th win for the Nevada state championship last month! Such an amazing course and event the director's put up for that race!

What do you have planned for this upcoming year?

I plan to stay pretty local this year, and gain some points for World Championships this year! So stoked on the course they are racing!!

What are you most excited about this year?

Seeing where the bike will take me this year! Last year I had a lot of opportunities to travel across the world and the states, however still haven't ventured out to any parts of Canada. So that will be a goal of mine this year!

Do you have any race rituals or superstitions?

Not much, if anything a good prep and clean of the bike, but that's must ??

If you could ride with anyone in the world, who would you want to session with and where?

If my dad wasn't so broken and battered from riding with me I'd love to take him down the World Cup race course in Andorra Vallnord. It would definitely be an adventure for him.

When you’re not on your bike, what are you up to?

Working, training, and getting some college credit out of the way!

Favorite TV show or movie to wind down to…

All of the Marvel movies!

Favorite Monster flavor…

Mean Bean!

Any last thank you or shout outs?

Yes! As always the support of my family and friends is a must to recognize. The amount of love and support they have given me is incredible. Secondly the support from my sponsors is equally as incredible and amazingly helpful! I am so grateful for the relationships I have made with them! And last but definitely not least thanks again to the guys and gals at Monster! Beyond stoked to be apart of an amazing team and family of athletes!!!
