Personal History
my names brendan cialek and im from northampton massachusetts. i started riding on my 7th birthday when my parents suprised me with a 2002 honda xr70. as soon as i put my leg over the bike i felt a bond with it. i was on it every moment i could burning tank after tank at the field track near my house. a year later i was yet again surprised with a 2002 xr100 which i rode up to last year. same thing: i couldnt get off the thing. Last march i decided to go with a bigger bike. i sold both bikes and bought a 2009 yamaha wr250f. but i paid for it all buy myself. no help from anyone. even though im still paying off the $5,000 loan, it was the best money ive ever spent. its always been my dream to race dirtbikes. i just never had the skill level and the confidence to race until this year. i compete in the open c class in a cross country series involving woods racing, track racing, and endurocross all combined called the Wideopen JDay Offroad series created by Mr. John Day himself. even though i have only raced 3 races so far, i plan to do all 16 rounds next year all over the new england area. i hope that mx sponsor will help me find sponsers to help with fees, gear, and parts so i will become even more successful.
Riding Goals
I hope that these sponsorship opportunities will help me achieve as many podium finishes as possible. due to faulty equipment, i was unable to finish 2 out of the 3 events i have competed in this year. (keep in mind this is my first year racing ever. i WILL compete in more next season) my goals for next season is to make top 10 out of the 40 riders in my class every round next year, and maybe even some podium finishes. with that being said, if i can achieve these goals, id love to be able to move up to B class by the season of 2016 or maybe even earlier depending on finishes. but this is only going to be possible if my sponsors help me out as best they can financially.
