Hey Talon, how’s 2018 been going for you?

2018 has been going super good! I've been feeling really good lately on and off the bike! I did awesome at the qualifiers and regionals and Loretta's preparation is going really well.

You recently got back from Mammoth, want to tell us more about that trip?

Mammoth was by far the sickest it's ever been. I won the Vintage class on vet weekend and got my first big bear! On the mini days I came away with a 2nd and 3rd overall. Pretty stoked.

What’s up next for you on the race schedule?

Loretta's is the next race. We're heading out to Texas to train a couple weeks prior. This is the first year I actually feel prepared! We are driving home right after Loretta's and catching a flight to Cabo for a surf trip with my friend Ford. Then get ready for Monster Cup.

Where’s your favorite place you’ve traveled for Moto?

My favorite moto trip was definitely racing for Team USA in France! The fans are nuts, and the friends I made, food, and overall experience was crazy!

How was it different than home?

Literally everything was different. So much excitement!

Favorite thing to do when you’re not racing?

When I'm not racing I’m usually out riding my pitbike with my friends haha. I went wake surfing a few weeks ago and that was sick. But also I enjoy skating, riding our horses and surfing (but I’m not very good) haha

Favorite person to ride with…

I really enjoy riding with a lot of people so it's super hard to pick one but off the top of my head I think of my buddy Levi Newby, Aiden Tijero, Haiden Deegan, Ezra Lewis, etc.

Favorite Food…

I LOVE SUSHI! If you are ever in Temecula, you have to hit up my boy Donny at Sushi Camp!! He is by far the best!

Are there any pros that you look up to or that inspire you?

Hands down the most inspiring rider to me is Josh Grant! We've become really good friends with him and his family and I really look up to him. Also Jeremy McGrath! Both of these guys are rad!

If you could ride anywhere with anyone, who would it be with and where?

I'd definitely want to ride with my buddy Braeden somewhere back east like at Club Mx. He doesn't have a bike anymore but he still shreds the pitters!

Any last thanks you or shout outs?

I just want to thank the whole Monster family for giving me this opportunity! My mom and dad are always my number one supporters and I am super thankful that they support me in this crazy sport!
