“I consistently push myself further and harder, getting fitter, stronger, more experienced and more focused.
“I train and practise hard to make each performance the best it can possibly be, working on designing and tweaking new sequences and manoeuvres constantly, drawing inspiration from wherever I can to make each performance as incredible and as memorable as possible.
