Personal History
My name is Braden Parks and I am 22 years old born in Spencer, IA. I recently relocated to Sioux Falls, SD. I started racing when I was 7 years old and loved the sport from the start. I like to work hard to get in shape and improve every year. I spend a minimum of 4 days a week at the gym and usually am able to get on the bike 3 times a week not including races.
Riding Goals
My goals this year is to recieve my Pro License for the AMA Outdoor motocross series for the second year in a row. Last year I was only able to race at Millville due to an old injury flaring up in my knee, but i have taken the time to have surgery and get in better shape than I have every been in the past. I am planning on entering in Red Bud and Millville for sure and hopefully make it to a few others also. As for this coming winter I will be racing several local supercross races as well as Omaha, NE National Arenacross and possibly Kansas City Arenacross. Next summer I will be racing nearly every weekend at the local level, and depending on how much help I get from sponsors I will be racing Branson mx Nationals.
