Personal History
Hi - My name is Ashton. I am 8 yers old, I am in 3rd grade. My family and I live out in Franktown Co on a cattle ranch. Since I have started racing we have slowed down on slowing cattle and turned 35 acres of our land into a personal track for me to practice. I am just an all around cowboy. I like hunting, riding horses, playing in the dirt, and spending time with my family. I have 5 horses and a few dogs.
I have 3 sisters. One older and 2 younger. My youngest sister is 7 weeks. My mom tells me I will be a good man being raised with all girls...I sure hope so, its hard work!
In my eight years I have spent my time playing competitive hockey, wrestling and soccer. I have also rode dirtbikes, but just for fun to gather cows or check fence. I went to my first actual dirtbike race last year...and lets just say I am hooked. I am placing in the top 10 at every race in the RMRA series. I also place top 3 in the colorado pit bike series.
My parents have raised me to be a gentleman. I will shake your hand and introduce myself when I meet you. I recently won an award at school for being respectful and kind.
Riding Goals
My "why" is very important to me. Even though I am 8, I am already a state champion wrestler. I wrestled in the top national room in Colorado. Last year I was asked to wrestle on a National Team. My last National Wrestling tournament I pined 3 kids in under 10 seconds. It was great. BUT. That was the last mat I touched. I knew I didn't love wrestling even though I was great at it.
I ride dirtbikes becasue I LOVE it. I work really hard with my trainer every single week to improve. I love climbing to the top. I want to be leading the races next year. And I will. I am confident in myself and my skills that I have.
Next year I want to go to Loretta Lynns! That is my main goal! I also want to be leading the races next year for the RMRA Series.
Competitive Highlights
I think being in the top 10 at every race, sometimes even better than that, is a huge accomplishment since I have only been riding for a year.
Before I broke my wrist in July I was leading points in the Pit Bike series. I missed 2 races.
Right now I am in 7th for 50cc open and the 50 Sr for the overall points in RMRA. The Championship is this weekend!
