Personal History
My name is Brendon van Rooyen. I am currently riding a Honda CRF 450 2017 .I have been riding for 6 years now, I am originally from South Africa so have a good enduro back ground. I have been passionate about riding my whole life but my family could not afford a bike for me when i was young. I come from a very sporty back ground and can do anything I put my mind too. I am currently sponsored for skateboarding as well and work very closely with my sponsor to create exposure for the brand plus do the photography and media work for them. My family are in all back in South Africa and I have decided to come try and put myself to the test in the UK. I want to try do as many events as i can from enduros, hare scrambles, motocross or fmx and try to reach my goals and dreams of being a champion one day. I have started a project envolving video parts as well as advertising to make the sport grow as well as my own riding. these video parts will have featured pro riders from the uk as well as Europe and South Africa.
Riding Goals
My riding goals are to have fun and share my riding experiences with the world as well as carry on doing stunt shows..

What i can offer my sponsors, full coverage on race days and all the time I am on my bike riding giving full exposure of your brand. social media posts with pictures of races and practicing. To be an inspiration to people all over the world and encourage them to ride and help our sport progress and grow.
Advertisement from any of my sponsors on and off the track.
