Personal History
Hi, my name is Andrew DeLong and I am 15 years old. I have been riding motorbikes since I was 5 years old but this is my first year racing MX. I am currently a Freshman at Highland High School in Pocatello, Idaho. I started my first race in May 2023, unfortunate events during practice led to 7 broken bones over the course of 6 weeks and I missed more than half of the race season. I was determined to come back strong and I have pushed myself hard to learn more about the sport and bike control. A big part of my growth is due to the support from my parents getting me to the track 3 times a week and training with local Pro rider Bear Swanson once a week.
Riding Goals
My Ambitions for the next season is to race EIMX, RMX and RMX Arena Cross and finish in the top 5 of my classes. I would also like to race several AMA races to be able to qualify to race at our regional qualifier in Washougal, WA to claim a spot in Nationals at Loretta Lynn’s in Tennessee within the next couple of years. I have found a new passion in racing and I am hard working and driven to be successful. I look forward to racing in the Thanksgiving Classic in Mesquite, Nevada this year.
