- What is your full name? Fergus Thomas Wiggins.
- Where are you from? I was born in NZ, both my parents are British, and we now live in Melbourne, Australia.
- How old are you? I have just turned 13 about a week ago.
- Where do you ride? Mostly I ride in Victoria, and mostly I ride with my mates at a bike park about 30 mins from my house. The park is called Red Hill. But I also ride all over Melbourne and Victoria, more so for races, though. I have also ridden in Tasmania at Maydena, which is quite well known, and in Adelaide too.
- What bike do you ride? I am lucky to have two Patrol bikes, I have a 691, which is the bike I ride the most, and I also have a 871 DH bike. They are both the same colour, Matt black and I love them!
- What is your favourite trail/place to ride? The best track I have ridden is called the local at Maydena. It’s very flowy with lots of big jumps, which I like.
- Do you prefer riding with your mates or racing? Riding with mates as it’s more relaxed.
- If you could ride anywhere in the world, where would you go? Whistler! What is your perfect bike from the Patrol Mountain range, and why? 691 because it’s so versatile. It has a log of travel, is really stable and I find it easy to ride.
- Who is your favourite rider or riding hero? Jackson Goldstone.
- What has been your best MTB memory to date? Going to Maydena was awesome, but I also love going to Bright in Victoria.
- What are your goals for 2023? The DH season is about to start here and my goal is for good consistent results. Being on the podium would be my goal.
- What is your MTB dream job? To be a pro racer that travels the world to ride at different events.
