Whats up Bruce! Hows life been treating you?

Yo what's up guys! Life has been pretty rad lately, I'm on a new program this year which has been working out really well! I've been putting in the hard hours during the off season and am looking forward to a great year of racing!

After a successful 2016 season, you were given the opportunity to Ride for the KHS Bicycles Factory Team. How has the new bike been feeling?

Ah yeah man the new bike is sick, riding for KHS this year has really opened my eyes to new goals and opportunities, I am extremely fortunate to be with the guys and our supporters this year! I feel that the bike really fits me quite well and allows for more speed to be found.

Seems like your adjusting the new frame with ease. You dominated the Fontana Winter series and came away with a top 5 at the first ProGRT. Easy to say you are feeling good on the bike, yeah?

Oh yeah it's been a pretty good year so far! The bike is riding real fast and I definitely feel that there is more speed to be found.

Going into the World Cups, How have you been preparing and what are your goals for the season?

This year I have the opportunity to put all my time into training which has really helped the steady progression of training and allowed for more time on the bike. Spending more time testing, paying attention to different setups, and how different setups work on track has really helped me further understand myself as a racer and how everything works. I have a few results based goals but I'm more focused on how I am progressing as a racer and improving as a rider. I race to win so of course I always want to be on top but I think paying more attention to how everything is working will be more beneficial to my career then trying to just get silly sending it every race haha!

When you were younger and coming up, who were the riders you looked up to the most?

When I first got into riding I really looked up to Sam Hill and Troy Brosnan. They have a really good riding style and always hang it out. Sam can always seem to blow my mind with his cornering and Troy is so smooth but still so fast.

If you had to Pick one track you are excited for, which one would it be and why?

The tracks these days are so good that it's hard to just pick one haha! I'll go with Mont Sainte Anne for sure. I competed there in jr's 2 years ago and am really looking forward to getting back there this year. They changed it up a bit last year to make it even faster so I'm really stoked to ride it!
