Posting on Instagram, he wrote, “I’ve loved this sport my whole life. It’s wild and wonderful and has been a journey. To the fans who love the sport sometimes more than me haha, thank you. It’ll always have its highs and lows but it’s been fun and truth be told I wouldn’t change it. Until the next adventure."
