Personal History
I have been riding and racing dirt bikes for over 50 years. My first bike was a 1964 Yamaha 80cc. I have raced just about every kind of discipline except pavement. Personally, I think todays kids are really missing the opportunity to twist the throttle of a 500cc two stroke....I also race downhill mountain bikes, and snow ski 30+ days every winter...
Riding Goals
Long term, to keep doing it as long as I can. I've accepted that at my age, just being out there is fun (I can't believe I just wrote that).
Competitive Highlights
Over the years I've had some pretty cool opportunities, I raced against guys like Brad Lackey, Buck Murphy, and the Pomeroy brothers in the early 70's. Lately, it's a thrill to be on the track with Joe Kopp, Wyatt Mguire, or Chris Howell. Racing on the Washougal national track for the first time in 2014 was a big thrill...
