Plans this year: This year i would like make (if it's possible) British Championship, European UIM Championship and Jetcross World Series.

Bio: I first went on a jetski when I was 10 years old but didn’t start racing until I was 14 years old, after my dad retired from runabout racing.

My first ski was a Kawasaki 550, but when I started racing I moved onto a Kawasaki SXR and more recently have won back to back British Titles for the last three years on my old faithful HydroDOO, tuned by Jetshed in Sheffield.
I progressed through the British racing scene, winning most improved rider in my first year racing in junior class. After that I moved onto stock class, then onto limited class where I won the title for this class in 2007. This was a great achievement on my Kawasaki SXR as my main competitors were riding the Hydrospace at that time with its greater power and speed. Then in recent years I have competed in SKI GP Class, and looking forward to again challenging in the UK SKI GP Class and look to retain the title for the 4th year in succession. I’m also looking forward to challenge in the European Championship in Poland and also participate in the Jetcross World Series. 2015 looks to be a real exciting and challenging season for me!
