About Me


My name is Josh Maurer and I am 24 years old. I have lived in the Santa Cruz California Mountains my whole life.
 
I started riding bikes when I was around 8 years old. After doing that for a few years I started racing BMX. Then I got into dirt bikes. After a couple years of dirt biking I started racing and actually had a couple great sponsors. After an injury during a race I stopped everything all together until I was 19.
 
At 19 I started riding downhill and it was all over from there. =]

I picked it up much quicker than my friends who got me into it because of my biking/motocross background. Now, I ride 4-5 days a week up in the hills of Santa Cruz (depending on weather). Now every day I'm not riding, I wish I was.
 
Some more about me
 
Well, besides riding bikes I love watching movies and photography. I have also been really into European cars ever since I could drive. I am now driving a 1991 VW Jetta GLI. Love this little car =]
What inspires me to compete?
 
I think one of the major things that inspire me to compete is my friends. They are always pushing each other to go bigger and faster every time we ride. I would also say that I do it for myself. I really just enjoy the competitive atmosphere that comes with racing. It really is a rush and a lot of fun!
 
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
 
I do train. I try and get on my bike as much as possible to build my riding skills and keep in shape. I normally ride 4-5 days a week depending on the weather. Recently I have been riding my Cyclocross bike a bunch (commuting to work about 8 miles a day) to help build my cardio up. I also work out at the gym 2-3 days a week as well. I work Monday-Friday at a fast growing software company in Santa Cruz CA doing Technical Support for online schools all over the United States.
