Personal History
My name is Bryan Cournoyer, I'm 45 years old and married to the love of my life. Im a father to 3 beagle boys, all brothers! I’m a self-employed owner of a company called NEXTEST which allows me the freedom to be able to travel and race around the country. My wife and my boys are my whole world. My wife is my biggest fan and manages all aspects of our race team. Moto Marvin is one of my beagles/co-pilot and travels often with me all around the country and is well known throughout the moto community. Cooper and Spencer are my other two beagles and they usually like to stay home and take care of their momma while I’m on the road traveling. I'm a big fella and get noticed a lot out on the track due to my size. Usually, it’s a lot of looks and finger pointing when I’m heading out on the track, especially if it is an area, race or track that I've never been to before. To be honest it used to bother me a lot when I first got back into racing after a long time off the bike. Most of the time after people watch me out on the track, they see the effort and passion that I put into my racing. Alot of the time people will stop me or come by my pit area and talk to me and tell me how much they love watching me out on the track, I even had a few people say that I inspired them to get back on a bike, which is so awesome. I may not be the fastest, but people always tell me my bikes look the best too! Over the years I have always seemed to find my way back to riding and racing, it has been one of the most physically and mentally rewarding things in my life. The people I've met, the friends I've made and the places I've gone are what makes motocross racing the best sport on earth. I'm also very loyal to my sponsors and do my best to promote them on and off the track and on all forms of social media.

Riding Goals
My passion is and always has been riding and racing a motocross bike. I started riding in 1988 and had my first race in 1990, I raced mini bikes, 125’s and 250’s in my amateur career. In 1996 I won a NESC 250 amateur championship and turned expert. Shortly after I had a major injury and started college, over the next 5 years I raced here and there when my college schedule would allow. After graduating college I stopped riding and racing all together in 2001. After that life took its course and I didn’t get back on a bike until the spring of 2016 and since then I have never looked back. I found what had been missing from my life, I found my passion and love for this sport once again. I’m now a full time vet rider chasing age class championships!
