Personal History
My name is Grady. I am 8 years old and have been riding since I was 4. I started on a 16" Stacyc and then went to a Yamaha PW50, that I got for my 5th birthday. Once on my PW I started racing Cross Country with the Oklahoma Cross Country Racing Association (OCCRA). Once I mastered riding my PW, I upgraded to a KTM 50SX. On my Stacyc I won 2 championships; the year I split riding my PW and KTM I was the Mini 50B Runner-up, and then the next season on my KTM, I finished as the Mini 50A Champion! This season I raced Mini 50A and finished Runner-up, and also raced Mini 65B on a Kawasaki KX65, which I finished in the top 5 for my class.
I have also raced some motocross part-time and have placed top 5 in each race. I also did a Loretta Lynn Qualifer, in which I missed qualifying for the Regional by one place on my KTM 50SX.
This past summer I also attended Fuel Ministry Camp in Guthrie, Oklahoma to increase my riding skills, and look forward to attending again in the future to learn new skills to improve my riding.
Riding Goals
My goals are to continue to master my riding skills on my 65cc. I plan to continue to race OCCRA full time, as well as do more motocross races this next riding season and attempt to qualify for Loretta Lynn's in 2024. I plan to reach my goals by increasing my abilities through hard work and determination.
