Hi

This is me after my BMX world championship race in Brazil July 2006 i came 7th in 6 & unders giving me the title W7 to display on my BMX race bike. I have with me my shiny new trophy to add to my W8 ranking i won in Paris 2005, This is my fave one so far

I started racing bmx at 4 1/2 september 2004, just barely off my staberlisers, I love racing, I showed alot of potential, my first bike was a Gt micro from alansbmx, it was blue and felt strange, Then got my first sponsor soon after with maw/dingo racing,and i started racing in 2005 at a national level, my frame was a one piece and is the only one in the world, i was mainly at the back of the group to begin with ( being the youngest) then i started to work my way up i never won a national race in 2005 but i did make make all the mains, in the july my dad took me to paris (well my mom drove all the way as dad broke his arm trying to jump )the 2005 world championships was fantastic, my dad was told not to take me as i was just 5, but hey he never listened and took me anyway just for fun and experience, I never thought i would come away with a trophy and world ranking, after the racing me and my family went to disnayland, then it was back to the UK for more racing , I am never off the track its my choice my dad has to chase me to get my bike off me as i can get tired but i'm too fast for him, At school i get to take all my trophy's in and show them in assembly, Its great

Then in 2006 i was offered a sponsor from Team Intense/thesourcebmx, My frame was lite-weight and bigger, The british number one pro Kelvin Batey was on the team too (my Hero) , He worked really hard to set this up, not just for me but for others too and there was alot of us, I Spent alot of time with him listening to him and he helped me gain more confidence the more i listened and trained the more i won, Then in July my dad took me to Brazil for the 2006 UCI bmx world championships , I got to meet alot of pro riders and had my photo taken with them (see above),, It was hetic in brazil every one wizzing by me i got a little confused at times, When it came to racing i finished top 4 in my moto's, in the semi i was third, things were looking great, then came the the final i was nervous then the gate dropped and i just pedaled like crazy i got boxed in at the first turning and put my brake on that was a huge mistake as all the others just left, i had to play catch up i gained 1 place but i knew my dad is proud of me no matter what i did, just making the main is an acheivement.

Things could'nt be better "i thought". and now at the end of the 2006 summer i have just gained a new sponsorship deal from Alan Wood and his UK's number 1 team http://alansbmx.com , I am so lucky i will be in a team that prides itself on the riders and that of UK bmx racing , My frame will be the new supercross s7 and will be made for me i even get to pick my colour and i will be the first rider in the uk to have one, I will benifit from a team manager Mike Pardon that will help train me over the winter and set me goals to achieve before i set off to Canada in 2007. and when i win the national series

I became UK,s national number 2 .i could have won, Next year i will WIN but hey i'm only 6 and having 2 world rankings at my age is Awesome
