With fifteen years experience racing, I'm thrilled at the opportunity to attend Thailands 2011 King's Cup - World Cup Grand Prix. Representing team USA/Jettribe is a great honor. I've traveled all over the United States and have attended the IJSBA World Finals several times, but have never had an opportunity like this, to travel overseas, have the chance to visit Thailand, and participate in what is known as the most prestigious race. The TJSBA and the racers from Thailand have had a huge presenence here in the United States at the World Finals and I'm very excited to compete in a TJSBA sanctioned event, with the Thai racers, and in front of the great people of Thailand.

This opportunity has been possible because of support from my sponsors. I'm proud to represent Jettribe, Riva Racing, Fly Racing, Full Spectrum, and Hydro-Turf.

I will be racing my RSRacing #912 Open class ski. This is a ski I built utilizing a Bullet Generation 2 hull and a Kawasaki triple engine prepared by RSR. It has proven to be competitive.
