Personal History
im a 19 year old student at university, my passion is motocross and film, and so far i have been able to combine the two by filming my friends and doing edits for them, i also own a helmet camera and film all my rides! i got into riding when my dad bought a bike for the first time since serving in the US Navy, and when he had retired he pursued racing again, he started doing harescrambles around england where he retired! I rode my first bike when i was 11, back then i only went out to fields and putted around, occasionaly raced enduros.
when i was 14 my dad took me to a motocross track to practice, and since then i was hooked, i loved the thrill and adrenaline, from riding enduro i had a different technique to most the kids, and i was always better in the mud.

Riding Goals
i hope to be a front runner in the B class by the end of the year, and i want to beable to improve my riding technique and style so that i can one day be like my dad and stand on the podium and even compete in national race events!
I will be entering the arenacross series in england this year for the experiance and abit more exposure as alot more people watch in that one arena!
The dream is to ride for the rest of my life and raise my family into the sport and hopefully when i finish university i can get a job in the industry doing film work! and every little helps!
Competitive Highlights
First year racing i came 13th in the C class, and then moved to a more regional club to race with, but i got injured early in the year and put me out till the next season, i then raced in the MX2 juniors and finished mid pack in most races, i was looking good for a top 10 season finish untill i also broke my collar bone, but since recovering from that in september, i have increased in speed and my technique i alot better, im looking forward to my 2 winter series races in the coming weeks!
