Hey Nate, how’s 2018 rounding up for you?

2018 rounded out great. I rode the supermini until Loretta's and then went straight to the 125. The last race of the year was at Mini O's and I ended up with a title in SX and 2 titles in MX. I am getting more comfortable on the 125. 

What do you have planned for the rest of the year?

For the rest of 2018, I plan on taking a few weeks off. I train at Millsaps Training Facility in South Georgia, so I am going home to spend time with my family. I travel so much and am away from home, it will be nice to be home for a while. 

Favorite holiday food?

My favorite food at the holidays is all of the desserts. My family loves to make desserts. I especially love peach cobbler, strawberry delight and banana pudding. 

Favorite holiday/winter activity?

My favorite holiday activity besides riding is going snow skiing and snowboarding. 

What are you most excited about next year?

Next year I am excited abut moving up to a bigger bike. I can't wait for all of the Nationals. I love traveling all over the country racing. 

Do you have any race rituals or superstitions?

I am really not a superstitious person. I guess the only thing I do before every race is pray with my Dad. 

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

If I could ride with anyone for a day it would be with Eli Tomac. I have always been a fan and think it would be great to spend a day riding with him. 

What was your favorite memory from 2018?

My favorite memory from 2018 is Loretta's I had really worked hard and prepared or it. I could not have asked for a better week. I won all six motos and won both championships. It was an awesome week.
