In your opinion, who is the best scooter rider in Australia?:
Coedie Donovan, still to this day whenever I see him ride even though he doesn’t ride much because of work he amazes me. He kills anyone and if he ever quits his job to ride full time then he would be able to make a vid and everyone would see how good he truly is still.

I'm into any sports really I just love active things, I can sit down and watch lawn bowls and be entertained at how they do it and watch and learn how to do it.
