Personal History
I'm 13 years old, weigh 105, and am 5'3. I have been riding since I was 4. I don't race because I prefer the trails. I ride a 150 now just because my parents don't have enough money to buy me a new 250. On my 150 I pretty much ride the rev-limiter until it gets to the point it sounds like the engine will blow up then I slow down a little. I can do anything from the wide-open desert, filled with sand and whoops to complex Rocky Mountains-that I would break something if I fall off. I ride some of our friends' bikes, and of those my favorite is the WR 250, I got it higher than the owner did at 105mph. I honestly just love riding and it is one of the only things that keep me alive. I have struggled with depression and anxiety for pretty much my whole life, but when I am riding I can be truly happy for a little while and forget about life.
Competitive Highlights
I am always trying to be faster than before. Even though I'm only a 13-year-old girl, I can keep up with my brother and his friends(ages ranging from 16 to 18) on their 250s who have been riding for up to 5 years longer than me.
