Haha! I’m just the luckiest kid in the world that hasn’t been told to grow up yet.
If you’re really interested though - after being an out and out racer for the redhook crit team, when that stopped, I didn’t want to, so I just kept the momentum going by bringing ideas to the table for Specialized. Thankfully they like animated dinosaurs and the random shit I do and trust me with some cool projects. That attracted some others brands and all of a sudden it kinda just worked. Most videos / adverts / kits and stuff I design myself, so that’s the main pull now. As long as I keep the credibility up getting a few results up, it’s all good. But yes, I’m very fortunate to have carved the niche I have, it’s not taken for granted believe me.
