How did you get started in
BMX racing? My dad did it when he was young
and got me in to it when I was 5
Was it easy for you to move
up the ranks from a beginner to an expert level
rider or did you have to work hard to get where
you are? No it was hard , it took me 2
years to become and expert but it was worth it.
Being on a Factory Team
seems to be the ultimate honor for just about all
BMX racers. What does it mean to you to be
on Factory Crupi? It means to do my very best at
all times and to be a good role model at the races
whether they be at local or national races for
Crupi.
What things or hobbies do you
enjoy doing other than riding/racing: I play the Clarinet, race slot
cars and just started to race R/C cars.
Describe your best racing
accomplishment: Winning Redline Gold Cup when I
was 7 and again at 11
Describe your worst racing
experience (on the track or off): I missed my open semi race in
Reno and lost the chance to get my Open jacket
when I was 7, it took me 3 years to get one.
Who is your favorite or most
respected rider on the track and why: AA
PRO Randy Stumphauser, he is a great Pro and he is
a nice person to talk to and Chris Blevin's,
because he is the very best at this sport in our
age group and he never gives up no matter what.
Now that BMX is an Olympic
Sport, is one of your goals to be in the Olympics?
I am happy that it is an Olympic
sport but my goal is to be a Doctor, I hope my
fellow riders make it there and win the gold for
the USA.
What racing tip or advice
would you like to give other riders: To never give up and be a good
sport no matter if you win or lose a race and to
train hard because this is what is needed to win
to b the best.
Final thoughts or anything
you would like to say: I
want to thank my dad for being with me at all of
my races and for the support he gives me
and thank
all of my sponsors for supporting me all of
these years and I hope to be with my current
sponsor for as long as they let me.
