How does FOX contribute to your success?
With the support of FOX both trackside, and in between races, I am always confident in having the very best suspension on the market. Rick Strickland's trackside support is a key element in our racing program.
Tell us about your best race or event and how it changed you.
2011 Round 4 WORCS. I badly needed a win to stay in the points chase, and I fought hard and got it. Now I'm back in the chase for my 8th National Title.
Tell us about your bike/vehicle setup.
I have two full race DRR mini quads. Quad number 1 is my 70cc Production. It has ATVFourplay Suspension with FOX front and rear, with a wicked fast motor my dad built. Quad number 2 is my 90cc Production. It has JB suspension with FOX front and rear, powered by a TA Porting motor.

My BMX bike, my RC car, and my new bike I will be racing in 2012, a Yamaha Raptor 250.
