KG: My favorite one is... I really like Snowshoe, Snowshoe was real good.
EDM: why is that?
KG: Gnarly... it was more like our kind of enduros back home. Back home it wasn’t as flowing it wasn’t as fast and as rough, it was more rocky, muddy that’s the kind of enduros we do back home and I felt a bit more at home.
EDM: Do you have a least favorite race?
KG: Probably Florida, ha.
EDM: The one that you did just recently?
KG: It’s not that I don’t like sand it’s just that it was so hard that race is so intense you know?
EDM: What do you like to do the best?
KG: How do you mean?
EDM: Wwhen you see a section coming up your like oh cool its one of those sections coming up.
EDM: Loose rocks? Big rocks?
KG: Any rocks?
EDM: Really?
KG: I like rocks. Rocks and I’m starting to like ruts now the more I ride this kind of stuff. The more races I do and the more GNCC's I do the more experienced I get.
EDM: Ruts definantly take some practice.
KG: Yeah I feel that I am getting better in ruts which is more fun because once you start getting good at something you start enjoying it. You know it’s like anything...
EDM: I know how that goes. What would you say is your least favorite obstacle?
KG: Probably when it rains.
EDM: Mud?
KG: Yeah mud.
EDM: Ok do you have a favorite rider? Someone that you look up to?
KG: David Knight
EDM: David Knight. Have you meet him?
KG: Yeah. Yeah. I speak to him quite often at the races. Not flat out conversations but we go up to him and say hi how you doing beacause Laurence knows him from Herzberg. That’s the race I would like to do.
EDM: Herzberg
KG: Yeah cool oversea trip.
EDM: Why is it that David Knight is your favorite?
|
KG: I think because I’m a big guy and he is a big guy and I like his riding style. Another thing is that he doesn’t like to get beat. He works hard. For instance, if he loses, he will go and workharder so that he can win the next race. You know he is a great technical rider, he is a great enduro rider, obviously the world champion you know he has achieved all the things I want to achieve. Tat’s is why I look up to him yeah my goal is to go overseas to Europe.
