Your All Ride Tour is really something special. You take your show on the road, and really get in front of people that don't typically see professional athletes in such a personal way. Is there any one interaction that stands out in all your All Ride adventures? Being able to ride with the customers and answer questions while they use the products and seeing how excited people are when they ride great equipment. I want to share my love of the sport and it's the best way to do it.

You have been on some impressive teams over the years, and have been around some 'dynamic' teammates. Let's hear a PC story involving either a current or past member of your team. One year in Hawaii during the Hawaiian Mountain tour a group of us rented these Honda 50cc scooters and ran amok around Oahu. While on hwy 1 my team mate Joe Lawwil and another rider Randy Lawrence swerved into each other and Joe's handlebar got stuffed into Randy,s short's pocket. They swapped out in front of me and began to slide. I ran straight through the center of the carnage and got tossed over the pile while my scooter flipped end over end about 35mph. Randy held on without a fall, I ended up landing on my scooter avoiding a major rash and Joe slid into home. In the end I had to buy my heavily damaged scooter and Joe took home legs shredded like beef jerky. If you look closely you can still see the scars today.
What's the strangest thought you've had while mid air? Is that my wife walking across the landing??? Near miss during Kamloops film session.
