duro has helped you with GNCC ?
Yeah , absolutely . I feel like the national enduro series has really helped me become a better rider just all around when it ’ s kind of slower and technical and tighter . You don ’ t really know where you ’ re at , so you ’ re racing the clock . I feel like that ’ s helped me a lot . At GNCC ’ s when I ’ m by myself I still know how to push hard as I want to . I feel like that ’ s been the biggest thing . You ’ re by yourself pretty much at national enduros , so you ’ ve got to learn how to really push and be aggressive . I feel like that ’ s really helped me at the GNCC ’ s .
Between the tests what kind of feedback do you get from Timmy or your mechanic Tanner Tremaine ?
We look at the times and stuff , but I ’ m a pretty easy-going guy so I don ’ t really like to change much . If I ’ m struggling I think they know when I ’ m a little bit quiet . They try to cheer me up and stuff . My wife , Maggie , she ’ s always there in my ear telling me what ’ s going on and stuff . It ’ s good . They try to help me out the best they can . On bad days I kind of just want to be left alone and try to figure out what I ’ m doing wrong and what I ’ m doing right . It ’ s always good when you have such a good team behind you . Especially me and Tanner , my mechanic . We click really well . We get along really good . When he sees I ’ m struggling a little bit he kind of understands so he tries to make me feel a little better for sure . It ’ s just a group effort for sure .
Tell me about your hunting .
I actually have not been going a lot . I ’ ve been still trying to take this pretty serious . I ’ ve still been working really hard and trying to ride as much as I can . The weather is starting to change at home for sure . It ’ s starting to get slim riding . I ’ ve been trying to get it in as much as I can . Trying to get through this race . I ’ ve been trying to concentrate on the championship and still working hard . I haven ’ t done much hunting yet , but we ’ re going to race tomorrow and then we ’ re going to do a few days of testing down here in Alabama . After that I ’ ll get home and concentrate on the hunting part , I guess . n
