Without the help of my sponsors, I wouldn't be the rider I am today. Each and every one of them have been a help, whether it be big or small. I'd just like to thank each and every sponsor I have had in my BMX career - I couldn't have done it without you.

My main sponsors: SPARC, Sheppards Industries, BikeNZ
And my other sponsors: Sony, Red Bull, Fox

You guys are awesome!

Sony have recently become one of my proud sponsors. They hooked me up with a whole bunch of electronics to help me out with training. A handycam I have for training which is perfect with it's high definition and super slow motion playback to pick up anything I need to improve. A laptop that travels with me all over the world which helps me with keeping up to date with everything that is going on and to review training and racing. An MP3 player that is nice and small which is good for travelling as well as the Noise Cancelling Headphones being a dream when flying overseas (it's like you're not even on the plane with the amount of sound that dissappears). I got a whole bunch of other gadgets that are so handy to have with me. I love having the newest and best gadgets so it's a perfect match with Sony.

Avanti are under the same company as Specialized (Sheppards Industries) and I have been with them since the beginning of 2005. Avanti have brought out the new ABD Race bike which I changed over to after the World Champs. I didn't know what to expect going onto the ABD but I was plesently suprised and love the new bike. It has a slightly longer back end then the specialized but I find it just as easy to manual and jump on. Check out their website for the new BMX racing designs and keep an eye out for when they will hit the bike shops near you. Sheppards also do Shimano products, mountain bikes and road bikes.

When I changed over to Specialized, Sports Pro jumped in with the deal and I now get the latest Fox gear which has definately helped in more ways then one.
