skiing , downhill MTB , offroad motocross
- I plan regular ski trips and enjoy the challenge of all-mountain and off-piste skiing, which keeps me active and builds confidence in demanding outdoor conditions.
- I race mountain bikes in various championships across the UK, including the Welsh Enduro Championship and some of the British Downhill rounds, and also compete abroad. I hope this translates to showing my commitment.
- I grew up racing off-road motocross across the UK and Europe, and more recently transitioned to enduro MX for a new challenge, competing in national series such as the Edge UK and RAW Enduro Championships. My passion for the sport also extends to restoring and rebuilding vintage race bikes.
