Warm
Up:
I usually stretch my arms and legs. Then I usually do a few hard cranks
as if I were racing to warm up my legs--to get the blood circulating.
Then, I try to relax my mind and then I am ready to race. |

| BIKE LOVE |
My dad bought me
my bike when my parents divorced -it was something I could focus on
while I was having a hard time with family. So,
it's mostly been my thing, something
I love. My dad works 24/7.
He supports it but I've pretty much been on my own since the start.

| I
totally admire all the women participating in professional athletics
because they are such positive role models for younger girls--all
girls should know that women can play as hard or harder than
the guys. There are no limits. |

--How did you start racing BMX?
I actually wanted to race mtn. bikes since
I was really young (still do) but we couldn't afford a mtn bike.
So in Christmas of 1995 my dad bought me a bmx bike. From there
I heard about racing and went out to the local track to check it
out. I was instantly hooked.
--What trick are you working on?
Ha ha ha ha, me? Tricks? I just go fast, just
race. Well actually, I do know a few tricks: no-footer, one-footer,
X-up, and one-handers--just the simple ones. If I had time, I'ld
like to learn no handers but right now I'll just stick to racing.
--Advice for beginners?
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Talk to
everyone and learn as much as possible. If you want to be a successful
racer, you need to find out what to do so you can reach your goals.
But most of all, never get discouraged, be patient, and have fun
because if it's not fun, you shouldn't be doing it.
--How do you give yourself a boost when
you are feeling nervous or down?
Well, I try to forget everything and focus
on the task at hand. I tell myself that I'm capable of being the
best and to just go out and do my best--give a 100%.
--What
is the universe saying to you?
The universe is telling me to live
my life healthy, happy, and with passion.

| Everything
in
BMX is great-
the
camraderie, the traveling, the experience--but the best part is probably
what I got out of it. It taught me discipline, focus, and how
to set goals for myself. I think these are very valuable in
life and everything a person does. |
