Personal History
My name is Abbey and I am 10 yrs old. I have been riding dirt bikes since I was 4 years old. I first lived in Southern California and that is where I learned. My dad taught me first on a Suzuki 50cc and took me to Beaumont and Rower Flats and Glamis. Then my dad worked at a big dirt bike racing company and he was able to get a Honda 50cc and that one went faster so I got better. Now I am on a Honda 70cc and I am getting alot better and more confident. I actually do little jumps now. We live now in Northern Idaho and there is still alot of places to ride. I would love to get a house and had our own track but for now we have a friends track that I practice on and we ride EVERY SUNDAY.
I love riding ever since I was little, I think it is part of my DNA. I even love to race. I think because I am a girl and it makes me feel good when people see that after I race and go "wow". My mom says that I am also competitive like my dad and I want to be the best at everything I do. I think thats why in every race I havent fallen and I am able to pass some people up and get a better spot.
I enjoy watching AMA races with my family and I would like to be the first girl racer in a big motocross race. There are not enough girl racers and I would like to change that.
I have an older sister Tori who also rides since she was 5yrs old and she races also but I think I am better!! I have a little sister but she is only 2 yrs old right now but she already loves dirt bikes and she will be riding soon I hope.
Besides riding, I also play sports. Right now I am playing Soccer. I just had my first game and we won 4-1 and I made a goal. But I think I like basketball a little more than soccer. I cant wait to play basketball again. I also enjoy skiing in the winter, we get a lot of snow up here. My dad said I am a natural on skis.
I love hanging out with the family but I really enjoy hanging out and going places with my friends. We go to the skate rink alot and to the local Triple Play, which is a family fun center.
Riding Goals
This season I would love to get atleast 3rd on every race and hopefully 1st place. I have all my trophies next to my window and 1st place would probably not fit there.
Now that I have done some smaller jumps I think I can do better in a race and now I have a bigger bike and my dad got a pipe that i think makes it go faster too, so I think its not too much to expect a better position.
This season also I would like to just get better and faster so that my dad will get a bigger Honda for next season, but he said he will think about it and thinks my bike now is fine.
Competitive Highlights
OH, my race in Bonners Ferry was so cool. That track was perfect too. I remember racing and I kept passing these boys. I looked over to my mom and dad and they were waiving me on to keep going. I think it was the last lap and I turned the corner really fast and I got goose bumps. All of a sudden I heard the anouncer say my name and say 3rd place. I was so excited. My dad said that I took corners like a pro and passed boys like a pro.
