World Cup of ParaSnowboard Cross Lenk, Switzerland 2026

Hello friends, Following up the harrowing races in Austria, we had Boardercross in Switzerland and I was excited! The country is awesome, the race course is fast and challenging = excellent training, and I had a new Cross board I was super pumped to try.  Well… it didn’t go so well. First nite, deep in my sleep, woke up with my belly feeling super weird and hard, went to the bathroom and the same nightmare from about a year ago repeated itself:...

Lets Talk Handcycles

Maybe you've seen me race before so you know what a handcycle looks like. Or maybe you've seen a few pictures of a handcycle in one of the athlete blogs. Either way many dont understand the many different aspects that go into a handcycle and how they actually work. So I thought this would be a perfect time to give people a closer look at a handcycle like the one pictured above. ...

“Crazy Curves”: ParaSnowboard World Cup of Banked Slalom, Kühtai – Austria

Hello folks,  Today I’ll tell you about the Banked Slalom race we had in Kühtai, an amazing ski resort in the idyllic Tyrol region of Austria. The race is nicknamed “Crazy Curves” and it is accurate, it was crazy.  Actually crazy dangerous!! I was super excited / anxious / happy / nervous about this one. I had new boards to test and get used to & a new prosthetic socket. When it’s been a while since I boarded, it always takes a...

January Training Update

After spending the past three years living and training in Washington State, I made the decision to relocate to Nice, France. My goal is to become the best cyclist I can be and push my potential as far as possible, and choosing an environment that supports world‑class training was essential. I considered staying in the United States and moving to well‑known training hubs like Colorado or returning to California, but Nice ultimately offered a stronger combination of elite‑level riding,...

The event is our Team PossAbilities Celebration Dinner which is held at the end of every year. The celebration dinner is a chance for members and the family of...

Back to training and preparing for 2026

After taking a full week off the bike, I’m finally back into training mode and easing into the rhythm again. I’ve been mixing in other activities—mainly the gym—which is something I usually skip during the season. But lifting is great for building strength, improving stability, and reducing injury risk, so it feels good to bring it back into the routine. Plus, with the weather pretty rough in the PNW this time of year, the gym lets me break up my...

Arizona Camp and Tour De Tucson

With the holidays upon us and 2025 almost coming to an end, my coach decided to fly in from Germany to do some lacrate testing on his American athletes. Testing was going to be held in Tucson Arizona. Im lucky enough to have a few friends who also train with the same coach so we all decided to get an Airbnb together. The plan was to complete testing but to also have our...

The Last Race of the Season — El Tour de Tucson

After wrapping up Big Sugar in Arkansas, I headed west to Tucson for some warm-weather training and one final race to close out the season: El Tour de Tucson. This event has been around for over 40 years and is now the largest cycling event in the U.S., with over 11,000 riders showing up this year. While most of the field treats it like a grand fondo—more relaxed and recreational—there’s still a real race happening up front. This year, the top...

Preparing for the Final Race of the Season

October took me to Arkansas for Big Sugar, a gravel race I’d been looking forward to. Originally billed as a 100-mile event, it was unexpectedly shortened to just 50 miles—only thirty minutes before the start—due to severe weather conditions. I felt strong going in, but unfortunately ended up crashing mid-race, which was frustrating given how well I was riding. It wasn’t the ending I’d hoped for, but that’s racing sometimes. Now, I’m shifting focus to my final event of the season:...

Happy Halloween

Nothing new to really blog about this month. Continuing to prepare for a training camp coming up in 2 weeks out in Tucson Arizona. While out there I will be doing some lactate testing to see how far my fitness has progressed over the past few months. Also like I talked about last month in my blog myself and a few other handcyclists...
