About Me


My name is Josh Maurer and I am 23 years old. I have lived in the Santa Cruz 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 (Bell Helmets, Scott USA, and SoCal/DeCal). After an injury during a race I stopped everything all together until I was 19.
 
The last year I started riding downhill. I picked it up much quicker than my friends who got me into it because of my biking/motocross history. Now, I ride 4-5 days a week up in the hills of Santa Cruz. Now every day I'm not riding, I wish I was.
 



Some more about me
 
Well, besides riding bikes I love making videos and watching movies. I have taken years of video productions classes and made tons of videos. I have also been really into European cars ever since I could drive. I got my Audi A4 Avant 1.8T Quattro about 2 years ago now. The wagon is great for hauling bikes and friends. Love it.
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 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 cell phone software company in Los Gatos CA. I ride 7+ miles on my lunch a couple days a week. Again, I am on my bike as much as I possibly can be. =]
