So, Korn grew up as a NETRA rider, like his father before him, but the New Hampshire 21-year-old switched to GNCCs in 2008 and ran the 4-Stroke A lites class until he switched to XC2 this year. Now, he's just on the cusp of getting on the podium. That's all he needs, that and a little more notoriety. We dialed Korn to see just who he is.
