Personal History
I am 8 years old and I have been riding for about 8 months now. I am very athletic. I play all sports that my school offers and then of course I race. I started playing sports before I was old enough to attend preschool. I began racing 4-Wheelers in local ATV Rodeos and ATV circle track racing when I was 4 years old. It wasn't until 2008 that I got on my first dirt bike. I love it. I still want to play my school sports but I really want to do this. I enjoy it and my family enjoys it. It is something that we all can do together. In addition, one of my best friends also races. As a matter of fact, it was his bike that I first got on. It is something that our families love and what started out as one person's dream has come to be a 3 family, 5 kid racing family.
I also enjoy spending time with my older brother, my friends, and school. In addition to my sports and racing, as of yet, I have been on the "A" Honor Roll every quarter.
Riding Goals
For the year 2009 I hope to improve my riding skills. I am not afraid so I will try almost anything. I am going to work on my balance and that has already improved tremendously. A local race track has just began a motorcross competition and our first race is next week. This gives me the opportunity to ride more in a facility that resembles more than just a yard or a field. I would have to say that my goals for the next year would be to improve, have fun, do the best that I can do, and be as safe as possible. Given the chance to do this I believe that I will obtain my goals.
Competitive Highlights
In the fall of 2008 I began riding in the Hillbilly Grand Prix. This is a hairscramble style race where you run through fields, woods, creeks, etc. I missed the first race but attended every race after that. I finished the season 2nd in points. More important than that, I improved dramatically and since then have improved even more.
That is it for my competitive highlights but I hope that very soon I can add more to that short list.
