Hey Kaed, tell us how everything has been going?

Everything has been going pretty good! Been staying busy lately with training on and off the bike. Testing to make sure my setup is 100 percent! Just got done qualifying in the regionals for Loretta’s! Prepping for Mammoth this week and looking forward to competing at Loretta’s.

What have you been working on lately?

Lately I have actually been doing some YouTube stuff, trying to stack clips and get content. It’s really fun to film but not so much on the editing process, haha! I am trying my best to release more videos every month!

Where is your favorite place to ride?

My favorite place to ride by far has to be Fox raceway. The dirt is always good and now that its outdoor season it’s rough and rutted all the time so that makes for some good training.

Who do you like to ride with?

I like to ride with a handful of guys and they’re the ones I train with everyday, the whole MXE coaching squad

What can we expect next from you?

You can hopefully expect some good results from me at Mammoth and Loretta’s this year and possibly some more YouTube videos to drop, haha


Do you get to enjoy Summer and wind down, or is that the busy season?

Well last year I was hurt before Loretta’s so I did get to enjoy Summer and go to the beach. But this year I am healthy right now, so it’s all training and getting prepared for these races.

What’s your go-to chill activity?

My go to chill activity would probably have to be Fortnite at the moment.

Favorite food?

For sure, sushi.

Favorite music

Definitely jazz... nah just kidding haha hip hop/ rap all day.

When you were younger and people asked you what you wanted to be when you grow up, what did you say?

When I was younger and people asked me what I wanted to be I said a professional athlete because at the time I did play baseball and motocross. I was so serious in both, so I had to chose one or the other because it was getting to be so much doing both sports.

Any last thank yous or shout outs?
