About Andy
I am 28 years
old, and intially started my racing career on motorbikes when I
was going to college in the USA. When I came back to New Zealand
I wanted to keep racing but needed to finish University so couldn't
afford to keep racing motorbikes. Thats when I decided to buy my
first Mountainbike. Its been a happy partnership ever since though
the bikes have come a long way from that first, Diamond Sorento.
My mountainbikes now cost more than my old motorcycles ever did!.
I have plenty of goals and ambitions for 2005! with the foremost
of them getting a top placing at the mont24hr in October.
I am also the co-founder of Adventure Events which was started due
to what I thought, was a lack of technical mountainbiking in Canterbury.
We started by holding events in Victoria park but eventually found
land owners in the canterbury area which were happy for us to develop
Mountainbike tracks which we have been developing over the years.
I am a Mechanical Design Engineer by trade and work for Motovated
Design & Analysis, who are very supportive of my passion for
mountainbiking, and the long hours it can entail.
About Nixz
Hi,
I'm Andy's partner and have had the long suffering role of being
his main pit crew for most of the endurance events he enters(don't
tell andy but i'm starting to enjoy it!!). I must say, its a great
way to see your own country and I've even been to Australia and
Canada for Mountainbike events!. I have also developed a discerning
eye for quality bikes which probably is very amusing to Andy!
At the events that either Andy holds and rides in, if i'm not in
the feeding area, i'm probably cramped, out in the bush, amongst
the mud & rain taking heaps of photos of all the various mountainbikers!
I designed this website as a side project as I am actually an Artist,
though I have a little background in Design and enjoy it most days!.
