PRev: So we hear your lucky enough to have your own track to practice on. How did you pull that off?
B: My house sits on 2 to 3 acres. My wife is also very supportive of my racing and was cool with me building a practice track for myself and the guys on my team.
PRev: Is it your favorite track?
B: Yes I love my track!
PRev: What class do you race?
B: The Vet Class
PRev: What got you into riding?
B: My older brother got me into riding at the age of 8 years old.
PRev: What motivates you in a race?
B: The thrill of lining up on the gate with the other old farts; plus the whole moto family vibe.
PRev: What made you want to race instead of just free riding?
B: The excitement of competing.
PRev: You look like a pretty tough dude, what would you describe yourself like?
B: I am a very, very laid back guy. I am very passionate in my beliefs and in all that I do. I am best described as an enigma—looks one way, but is different then he looks.
PRev: Tell us a little about the race team you have?
B: I have a 6 rider team (including myself). Our main sponsor is my wife's tattoo shop, Red Dragon Tattoo, we are all committed to the VSP Arenacross series that runs May - Oct. Some of the guys also race the D-13 outdoors series . Our riders are - Brian Atkinson (Vet Pro) , Chris Evans (125 & 250 C) , Scott Wooddy (Vet) , Jeff Patton (125 / 250 Pro) , William Pearson (250 Pro) and myself (Vet). We have some really good sponsors who have helped us a ton.
PRev: How did you find PanicRev?
B: Umm... through the internet.
PRev: Do you believe in what PanicRev is doing?
B: Oh yeah, I love what PanicRev does by going to the races and by having their own team. It's a true blessing
PRev: What is it about Jesus that makes you love him?
B: The fact that in spite of myself he loves me.
PRev: The Metal Mulisha or Alessi Family?
B: Alessi Family ... I can't stand FMX.
