Personal History
Whats up? My name is Ben Rio I have been riding/racing moto since I was 7 years old. It has been a huge passion of mine from the early days of my life and continues to be the biggest part of my life. From the young age of 7 I made my way up the ranks from a beginner rider to the professional level racing in my first supercross back in 2013. I grew up racing a lot of Arenacross all across the nation and won the bookoo championship at Mohegan Sun casino. I also placed top three at several Las Vegas Amateur Arenacross championships which is how I obtained my pro card in 2010 m. I had a pretty bad get off at Dallas supercross in 2013 and went on a 7 year hiatus stronger than ever!
Riding Goals
My plan for 2024 is to get back into top peak shape while getting back to the pro level pace running 40min plus motos. I am giving myself a one year period to accomplish these goals because as a veteran rider I know when you rush it you have a higher chance of getting injured. Futures goals include racing at the Canada nationals, then AMA pro national races and hopefully supercross again. Along the way I will be competing locally til I dominate all classes which include 250/450 Expert/Pro-Am and plus 25 A/Plus30 A. I also have plans to start up my Motocross schools in spring at a private member track in Long Island Ny. I previously ran my camps at my family owned private track on Long Island, NY from the age of 14-present day
