Hi and Welcome to my Website 2009 & 2010 have been successful years to date with me taking outright honours in the New Zealand Cross Country Championship in 2009 and also in 2010. To become a two time National Cross Country Champion would've only been a dream a couple of years ago so its fantastic to make it a reality. Sept/Oct 2009 saw me head to the United States to train/live and compete along side my good friend Paul Whibley in a few rounds of the US GNCC series. This was a great experience and has certainly left me hungry to get back over there. Currently I'm riding for the Yamaha NZ Off-Road Team supported by Sargent Motorcycles in Carterton, these guys have been instrumental in my success here in New Zealand. The website gets updated regularly with race reports, general info on what I've been up to as well as pictures to give an insight into life & racing here in NZ and where ever in the world racing bikes takes me.. ![]() General UpdateIts been 3 & half months since I wrapped up the 2010 National Cross Country Title back in mid May and I've been rather quiet since then so I figured it was time for a update. Rewind back to the final round of the Nationals in Christchurch, I nearly had a nasty crash half way through that race which left me with an extremely painful ankle. I was however able to hold for 4th on the day which was enough for me to win the Title for the second time running. After the event the pain in the ankle subsided enough that I didn't feel the need to go to hospital (wrong move). I then proceeded to take 2 weeks away from riding & training to relax. It was upon my return to training that I realized something wasn't right with my ankle, so then I went to get it looked at. Since I hadn't got it seen to right away via A&E, all procedures (e.g Scans, Xrays and Doctor visits) meant I was not on the high priority list. I finally got to see a specialist who informed me I had ripped my Peroneal Tendon away from the bone in my ankle & it would require surgery and a lengthy recovery period. 7 weeks after first going to the doctors I had surgery on my ankle. It has been a further 5 weeks of being in cast until tomorrow's specialist visit (2nd Sept) where I will have the cast removed finally. Now, I always try to look for the positives in situations that simply just suck like this and if there's one good thing to come from having a good amount of time away from racing, riding & training its renewed motivation, and renewed appreciation of this wicked sport/hobby/lifestyle that myself & many others are involved in. I've got a few events coming up so its time to get back in shape & hopefully gets some results. We've also updated & fixed the photo section on the site as well so be sure to check that out at some stage.
