What is your favourite style of track?
Wide open, fast, and loamy.
So the Canadian Open being raced on Sunday suites your style?
Yea, I'd say so.
You've had success racing in Whistler in the past winning the 2006
Canadian National Championships. Are you feeling confident this week at
Crankworx?
I'm feeling pretty confident for the remaining races. In 2006 on the
Jim Beam Air DH, I finished fourth, two seconds off the winner and long
time veteran Brian Lopes, and I was even closer to four-cross legend
Cedric Gracia. I definitely want to do well here today after coming
back from serious head injury last season.
For the Canadian Open, well see how it goes. I'm certainly looking for
a strong result, perhaps a top ten among the best in the world in
attendance here at Crankworx.
Thanks for the time Andrew, good luck this week!
