Personal History
Hi, my name is Asher Drake from Hope, NJ. I am 7 years old. I've been riding dirtbikes since I was 3, but just started racing. I enjoy spending time with my family and riding. I also have fun jetskiing, snowmobiling, snowboarding and playing football. Thanks for checking me out!
Riding Goals
I ride because it makes me feel free and comfortable. I put my helmet on and just go. It allows for me to be in my own space. I just started racing this year, so my goal for next year is to place somewhere up front with more skill and dominance. My goal is to get faster and faster.
Competitive Highlights
I have overcome more obstacles than most at my age. I have struggled with sensory processing disorder since I was a baby and am still working through them but I have come a long long way. I could not be around loud noises or crowds of people. Certain textures would make me crawl out of my own skin. Riding helped me overcome many of my obstacles, the noises, vibrations, feeling of the gear compressing my body, weightless feeling while jumping, downward pressure of landing, different textures from my jersey to the metal and plastic on my bike. Racing is not only fun for me, it's also therapy. This is only the start for me!
