Mac is by the youngest rider on the tour at age 16, and a bit of
a paradox. He can be really immature, even for his young age,
trying too hard for attention and to be everyone's buddy. But
there are times when he isolates himself, turns into a lone wolf
and looks out at the world with the eyes of a much older and
experienced person. Mac has arguably had the toughest childhood
of SSX competitors, and he learned the harsh reality lessons
very early in his life. He learned to make himself invisible
when necessary, and this has translated into a successful
strategy for racing. "Where did he come from?" seems to be the
standard reaction to a Mac victory.
