CURTIS
Yeti / FOX Development Team AUS
Coming from a BMX background, I made the switch to MTB in 2019. I love it because it reminds me of being a kid out into the bush on a bike for hours having fun. I’m new to EWS/EDR racing, my first races being earlier this year in Australia, so I’m really excited to get overseas and see what I can do.
