Personal History
My name is Brandon Raes, im 16 years old today, i first started "riding" at the age of 4 my dad got me a baja 90cc 4 wheeler, and when i was 14 i got a 1981 suzuki rm 125 2 stroke as my first ever dirtbike. From then on i learned how to ride such as clutch control, corners and jumps, i ended up getting rid of the bike in 2015 due to it being old and wanting to upgrade, and in late august i bought a 1987 suzuki rm 125 2 stroke and learned how to ride it too. With that dirtbike i had i improved on my jumping such as clearing the jamp and good positioning in the air. I also learned how to corner better such as coming in hotter, braking, and exiting hard out of the corner. I raced my 125 in 2016 at the start of the 2016 Thames Valley Riders race season in march, I didn't do well such as positioning like 20th and 25th because i was learning to race. I had technical difficulties with my 125 through out the season until July when i sold it and bought my 2012 Suzuki RMZ 250 4 stroke dirtbike. From the rest of the season on i really worked hard at my riding skills and finished a great 2016 year end season. And that is how i started racing!!
