Personal History
My names Benjamin Luke Lester, I am 16 years old from Andrews, Texas. I love Motocross more than anything, my whole life revolves around it. A few of my favorite riders are Andrew Short, Trey Canard, And Ryan Dungey, not only because they are super fast guys, but because they set a good christian example and always thanks God on every podium and in every interview, and if I go pro I would be honored to set an example too. I started riding when I was around 8 on a little trail bike, i rode the crap out of a couple different size trail bike until i was 13 i started showing some talent i guess so I started racing. I now race 250C stock and mod and am going to move up to the B class in a month after Branson. I train/practice with my friends Josh Hernandez and Justin Hernandez (who race B class) everyday which has helped me progress a lot riding and training with faster riders. I am being homeschooled this year so I am going to be training in the gym and riding at tracks all week so i can really progress. I really want to make a career out of this so I can represent God and whatever sponsors I have in a positive light.
Riding Goals
Race Branson, move up to B class, Race Mini O's, and try to qualify for Lorettas. All in all just progress and be productive.
Competitive Highlights
This year I have started getting a lot faster and went to the NMA Grand National Championship in Norman, Oklahoma this July and got a 4th in 250C Stock and a 6th in 250C mod on a bone stock 2012 RMZ250. I am being homeschooled this year so I am going to be training in the gym and riding at tracks all week so i can really progress. I am going to the NMA Branson National this September and Hopefully Mini O's as well. After Branson I am moving up to the B class and am going to try and qualify for Lorettas.
