Notable:
In only his second year as a pro, and at the age of 18, Greg has earned his way (with a bang) into his first X Games with a win at the prestigious Globe World Championship in Dortmund, GER (July 27). With his winnings, he purchased a brand new BMW.
Quote:
"Winning money and getting more sponsorships and going more places," is what Greg has gotten out of competitions so far, but he's not in it for the money. "I'm not in it for money. I'm in it for the fun of it. I think that's why I started. There just happened to be someone at a contest who said, 'damn, you're pretty good, we'd like to sponsor you.' I was like, 'free gear? All right.' It kind of just started from that and then I started getting paid and making a career our of it. Now I don't even have to work a normal job and I get paid and get to travel for free. You've got to do it while you're young."
