Ask Joey

How would you describe yourself as an athlete?

I started racing DH at age 13, transitioned to enduro at age 22, and then quit racing and began

doing large adventure rides and bikepacking trips at age 24. I love having the base skills set from

racing in my past as it couples nicely with some of the more ambitious and high alpine adventures.

Now, I see the bike as a beautiful way to see and experience the world!

If you could spend a day with any other SMITH athlete, who would it be and why?

Sage Cattabriga-Alosa. Absolute legend! Plus I hear he rips on a bike.

What is your biggest fear?

My biggest fear is probably just losing momentum. It feels so good to keep things rolling!
