- Nov 07, 2020
I started racing BMX when I was five years old. I followed in my brother's footsteps, and I was a little tomboy. When I came into the sport, there wasn't many women. I raced with the boys; I looked up to the boys, and all my mentors were boys.
- Mistakes

The mistakes you make and lessons you learn at a young age are what gets you to an Olympic level.
- Gold
- |

I really want to win a medal and would want to win gold. It's my fire and fuel, life and dream, everything.
- Limit

The biggest thing I've learnt is not to limit myself by the norm or what I should be doing.

- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There were times when I was down and frustrated being in a male-dominated sport: you don't get the support. It affected me. Layne Beachley helped me beat that. That was the difference for me and helped get me through.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A female professional athlete has to have the whole package, as opposed to a guy who can just be good at sport. You have to have a job or go to uni or do three sports instead of one, you have to be a standout.
- Public Service
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I had to work a 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. job in the public service, I'd freak out.
- Home
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You never hold back. If I turn up to the track and feel cautious or not committed, I turn around and go home. If you don't have that full commitment when you're pedaling into a 40-foot jump, there's not much room for error, and you'll come off worse.
- Time
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It would be simpler going to an Olympic Games knowing you had to nail one trick that you've done a hundred times, and if you do it, you'll win. Or if you're a swimmer, if you swim a certain time, you will win. In BMX, there are no guarantees.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I get called Pink quite a lot. The Pink of the Action Sport World. Or Queen of the Dirt - some call me that.
- Canberra

BMX is still a young sport in Olympic terms. So the sport science behind it is also relatively new. As a program, it's only going to get better as the sport gets bigger and more extreme.
- Go

- Nov 07, 2020
You can't take my batteries out; I'm always on the go.
- Champion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I truly believe that it's all of the hard times that make you step up to the next level, and that's what makes you a champion.
- Girl
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always been a bit of a daredevil, even as a little girl with a pretty high pain tolerance and things like that.
- Drive
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Mum and dad would drive me to the ACT Academy of Sport gym at 5 A.M., sit in the car and read a book, and then drive me to school. I appreciated it when I was younger, but I didn't really understand how much they were putting into it. Now I look at budgets of $70,000 to compete, and I think, 'Wow, they've put so much into this.'
- Day

- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I compete, I love a huge crowd, expectation, pressure, and I like to have nerves: the butterflies flying and my hands shaking. This way, I am completely amped, focused, and ready; otherwise, I tend to be to relaxed, content, and don't perform at my maximal potential.
- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I quickly realised that there is no 'I' in team. So I am so fortunate to have a supportive family that has been there for me since day one.
