When the family moved to Cle Elum, WA, he spent hours on dads tractor building his own crazy jumps and even more hours riding with friends. He even did a jump over his dads truck! Joel also enjoyed spending time with friends, family and girlfriend Sarah. He really liked attending concerts, being outdoors in the sun, the river and hiking in the mountains.
