Luca's life as a bike racer got underway when he was 8 years old racing BMX with his brother. They spent the next 5 years traveling around the country with their parents racing all the USA BMX Nationals. When he was 13, he discovered mountain biking and that has been his passion ever since! He started out doing all the east coast races during the summer, and by the time he was 16, he had the opportunity to race the Junior World Cup series. He ended up getting second in the Junior World cup his second year and since then has progressed into one of the top Men in the Elite category. He has since accumulated several elite podiums and finished top 10 in the world cup overall and world championships.
