Tell us about yourself. What draws you into riding ATVs and motor sports in general?: The rush. Since I started riding an ATV, the rides in a amusement park are boring!!!
 
Give us some background on your riding.: I Started on a honda TRX250 2x4 in 1991, then moved to a TRX350 4x4. Now I'm riding a 2006 YFZ In the cross-country series here in Québec.
 
How much racing do you get to do?: Did 11 races this season plus two four-hour endurance races. best finish of the year is a 5th. I've finished in the top 10 most of the races this year. I ride every weekend when I'm not racing.

You work for Elka – what’s that like? What do you do there?: I'm a sales rep at Elka. The team is great. We all ride. Some ride dirt bikes, mountain bikes and most of us ride quads.
 
Being employed by an industry leader, racing and being involved in the online world you get a lot of exposure to all the national race series. What kind of future do you see for the sport?: The sport is growing fast. We saw the return of Factory involvement. And we're also getting more exposure than ever with the likes of WPSA tour. It's great. I hope that it'll keep on growing.
 
What about international racing (outside NAmerica) – you keep up with any over seas racing?: I do keep up with what goes on in the quad racing world overseas. Spain and Portugal have a quad racing craze right now. It's growing so fast over there. England also has a great racing scene.
 
What riders do you personally keep up with and like to watch?:
I always liked Barry Hawk. That guy won 7 consecutive XC championships on a quad, made the switch to dirt bikes and won 8 on those.
 
I also Always liked watching JJ. He was fast and smooth. Probably one of the most promissing racers of the MX scene. What happend is sad and unfortunate.
 
I'm also keeping an eye on Chris Bithell since he came from nowhere and almost grabbed the overall at the Ironman GNCC last year. 

 
So what’s it like to ride and race in Québec? Do you ever get to come down and run in the states?: It's great riding here. We have so much trail in the province of Québec that you could lose yourself for a lifetime.
 
The XC racing scene( FMSQ ) for quads is only 4 years old here. We're already like 115 quads on the gate every weekend. Everybody is friendly there.
 
I was supposed to come down to a couple of races this year but could'nt. but be sure that next year I'll come down for a couple of GNCCs. I'll try to do the ones in PA, NY... The ones that arent too far.

How does the competition compare?: It's hard to compare the competition between us and the USA since the XC scene is young here and we have weather that makes it difficult to ride. Mike Cafro and Scott Samuel came here for the last four-hour endurance race and they said that our tracks are more tight than the ones in the US. The track for the four-hour was smooth and wide if you compare it to the average track we race on. So I would like to come down and race a GNCC to compare for myself.
 
What about other riding? You get to ride bikes,Rhinos oranything like that?: I ride dirt bikes also but I'm not as good as on a
quad for the moment, I need more pratice.
 
If you could race any kind of machine for one season with afull sponsored ride what would it be? Why?: That's a really good question. Probably a YFZ fully sponsored by Yamaha factory if they decided to be really involved.
