![]() Moby's extreme side was born out of his youth riding his bike EVERYWHERE in Brixton, England. Things You Have Broken: Left shoulder, jaw, most of me toes, an' all of me fingers.Boxers or Briefs: Freedom in boxers, mate.Career Highlight: A gold in all disciplines in one weekend.Secret Spot: Short Squaw, Red Mountain, BC.He is often described as a machine, able to win and ride with an almost superhuman proficiency. He knows there are young riders lined up to knock him off his perch and calmly rejects there ambition. The opportunity to be challenged in every event, every ride, has left him with a mindset that is cool, calculating, and strategic. This time around Moby has raised his confidence level and balanced it with a newfound chill. He became recognized as fearless and aggressive, and no one went bigger or better. Raised in the rough and tough streets of Brixton, England, Moby used a BMX bike to get him on the path to international recognition of his extreme athlete prowess. I also just bought a new drum set and I've been smacking that around. This year, I plan to jump off many tall, stationary objects with a snowboard. I got muscles on muscles, mate! I also play all kinds of sports from footy to base jumping. What do you do when you are not snowboarding? It's about being the best you can on your board or your bike every time you get on it. I never give up when times are tough and me gear isn't working right, or when I just keep crashing or just can't pull that trick. I go out every day and give my all for the sake of being better than I was yesterday.the bloody handlebars come right out of me hands and the front wheel ends up perpendicular all over the shop. That old crock didn't have shocks of any sort on the front, so here I was, tearing out a dirt road on my way home, and I hit some stutter bumps. Guess the worst injury I ever had was a horrendous wipeout on my old bike. I don't really remember it because it happened when I was pretty young, but I fell on my bottom so hard I broke it.When the time is right, I strike! Oh, and no fear. What is your greatest strength? Weakness? And Mac's a spawny, brain frazzled git! Bah, the little grommet's voice breaks as often as 'e eats snow. I can't stand JP, 'e's more than a bit of a knob. Me best mate's Zoe she's a right little sort, right fit an' all.Have you made any friends on the tour? Enemies? Sports gear! I wear their sports gear and they put me in pictures in bike mags and the like.Haven't we also seen you doing some modeling work? Probably watching footy with the lads! I like rippin' it up on me BMX, mucking about in skateparks an' 'angin' with the Moby Massive! I'm also a connoisseur of fine wine enjoy eclectic music, classical theatre and long romantic walks in the moonlight.If you didn't snowboard, what would you be doing? Once you're extended, spin the board on its lengthwise axis. Start with a nosegrab and turn it into a full-on Superman. Mesablanca's the one for me! No losers allowed 'cause it's well hard! Good place to bring yer girl too, what with the waterfalls and sunsets. ![]() Favorite Music: Swinging Utters, Bob Marley.With his experience racing BMX and in motocross, he sees snow as a 'cushy' landing, and he takes risks that others wouldn't. ![]() Because he's young, Moby is also a bit undisciplined in his approach to racing, and will charge out of the gate no matter how long the course is. He's one of the younger competitors on the tour at nineteen, and he carves the respect of his fellow competitors on the circuit. His piercings, scars and tattoos make him look rather intimidating, and with his England/West Indian accent, loves to put the Americans off their game. Moby is fearless and attacks the SSX courses like a buzz saw. Legend: F - Freestyle | BX - Boardercross | A - Alpine A fearless BMX racer, Moby is used to taking risks, and breaking bones, as he rips up BX courses like a buzz saw.
