Personal History
My name is Ben Smith. I am 27 years old and live in Hackettstown, NJ. I have been riding motorcycles all my life and have a great passion for off road motorcycle racing. I love the sport and I love being on my motorcycle, whether it’s racing, trail riding, training, teaching others how to ride and just being involved in the sport. I have a very strong background in off road racing as my family has been involved in the sport for over 50 years. I am a very focused on obtaining my goals and never stop doing my best to achieve them.
I spend most of my time off the bike, when I’m not working, cross training at the gym, mountain and road biking, running, and hiking with my dogs. I also enjoy competing in biathlons and have completed two Tough Mudder events.
The biggest thing that keeps me coming back for more is the fun I have wherever I go.
Riding Goals
I plan on racing the ECEA series in the AA class. I also plan on racing a few non-conflicting National Enduros, and other motorcycle and non-motorcycle events to fill in the open weekends.
I will be racing the ISDE Qualifiers to earn a spot on the USA team at the ISDE in Argentina. I also plan to continue to improve my training program, ride more often, and to work even harder to become a better racer and promoter
I also plan on expanding my riding school business and to host more private lessons. I am also in the process of opening up my own business of being a track side vendor of my sponsors products.
