Titles: CLASS #1's (District: 1999-2004, State: 1999-2000; 2002-2004, Redline Cup: 2000-2004, ROC: 2000; 2002-2004, World: 2001-2004, NAG: 2000-2004, National: 2001; 2004) CRUISER #1's (District: 2000-2004, State: 2002-2004, Redline Cup: 2000-2004, ROC: 2002-2003, World: 2001;2004, NAG: 2001-2004, National: 2003-2004)

How does it feel to be 2001, 2003, 2004, Number one girl?: It's pretty cool. I never dreamed of winning national titles, and then when I won one when I was 10 and was totally pumped about it, but I figured that was it. Then in 2003 I won the Girl Cruiser title and that was really cool, because I was kind of bummed that rider count had put me out of the Girl title 2 years in a row. So, a cruiser title made me pretty happy. Last year however, was really the icing on the cake. I never could've imagined of winning both National titles in the same year. It was really an honor and a dream come true.

Do you feel more pressure is on you then before?: Umm, not really. You'd think people would expect more from me because of what an incredible year I had last year, but the pressure is still the same as it always has been. Everyone still just expects me to try my hardest and give it my all, because that's really all you can ask from anyone.

How is it riding for Hyper?: I truly love the team! The people are great, everyone is an awesome rider, and best of all we're like a family. Everyone just gets along so well and we all hang out outside of the track too, so it's really a fun atmosphere. And the bikes...UNBELIEVABLE! I absolute love the Hyper frames and all the other sponsor things we get. Everything is really nice and cool.

Do you think you will be able to regain the title this year?: I'm hoping. If I can keep working hard and stay on top, it will all pretty much just come down to rider count again. Unfortunately though, my rider count hasn't been looking the best lately, but I'm still going to try my hardest and be happy no matter what the outcome is.

When do you plan on turning pro?: I'm not sure. I've been thinking about going right when I turn 15, but I'm not sure what I want to do yet. Those girls are top notch and I don't want to race them until I’m ready for it. So, I guess I will turn whenever my speed and skills allow me to!

Name your top three favorite amateurs: It's hard to name just three, but I'd have to go with...Mike Lundy, Jeff Upshaw, and after that it's a close call between Sean Lechner, Josh Oie, and the great Joey Bradford, haha.

Name your top three favorite pros: I'd have to say my three Staats buddies...Paulie Lange, Mikey Day, and Nate Berkheimer

Favorite food?: Pretty much anything that's bad for you...and pickles!

Favorite Drink?: I really like hot chocolate in the cold winter time!

Personal Hero?: Kim Hayashi. That girl is amazing. She works so incredibly hard and she is my favorite girl pro to watch. She has the speed and skills of a boy, and that's awesome! Haha. She's so enthusiastic and motivated its awesome. Not to mention, she's the coolest person ever to hang out with.

Do you train?: Yeah. Most of my training is my other sports though. I'm in gymnastics year round and that's a lot of training. I'm also in track in the spring and that's a great help too. I do some other sports, but I'd have to say those two are my main cross training sports. I'll go on streaks however where I actually go on a BMX specified training program. Like, after Reno last year I started training and trained until the Grands and it really paid off. So, I'm going to get on it again and start trying to ride like a girl pro!

What was the last thing you bought?: More than likely clothes.

Favorite thing about BMX?: The travel and getting to meet people from all around.

Least favorite thing about BMX?: The drama. There's WAY to much gossip in BMX.

Name Game

Will Rells: The funniest guy ever! He's very cool and he's the best team manager/owner ever! He's very encouraging and helps try to get everyone to be doing their best!

Terra Nichols: One of my BRF'S (best racer friends)! She's a great racer and really fun to hang out with!
Shelbi Long: Another BRF! She's great competition and awesome to chill with!

Jessica Rodolf: wow, another BRF! haha, she was an unbelievable rider! I wish she would come back and eat strawberries with me! She's really an awesome girl! Miss her a lot and hope she gets back on the national circuit!

Kim Hayashi: Amazing. Enough said.

Josh Oie: Funny kid with unbelievable manualing skills haha! He's really fun to hang out with! He helps me out with my WAAA's too...haha

Joey Bradford: He's like my brother. We've been together since Staats and it's really weird not being on the same team as him this year, but he's still around all the time! haha, couldn't live without the kid!

2005 Goals?: I'm going to try to win all my class and cruiser national mains this year (that'll be really tough!!) and I'm going to try to go for every title on both bikes again this year...last year I missed out by one cruiser main at the ROC race...hopefully my rider count will be good again this year and I can stay on top!

Thanks?: I just want to say thanks to all my sponsors, and some of my major old sponsors such as FLY, STAATS, and Avent/Bombshell. I'd also like to thank TJ Johnson, Will Rells, Clay, Anthony DeRosa, Jack McDaniel, all my Minnesotans that are here for me all the time, all my team mates, new and old, my family, and most of all my mom and dad!
