Personal History
I am 7 years old. I am currently in sirst grade. I have been riding since i was 4 years old. My first dirt bike was a KTM mini adventure. I currently race a Yamaha TTR 50 in the beginner class and a King Cobra in the 7-8 class. I love riding, whether in the backyard on a track my dad made for me or at one of the local tracks. While I'm not riding, I like to watch hunting and dirtbike shows when I can't be outside. When the weather is nice enough to be outside, I like to work in my garden, play baseball and football, and ride my bicycle. I was chosen for the Linton Baseball 8 and under All Star team in the summer of 2016.
Riding Goals
My goal this year was to be able to be more aggressive and competitive. Even though I'm not as competitive as I want to be, I still work hard to get the best finish I can. I have learned that being dedicated to the sport allows more time to grow into a better racer. I plan to attend more races and try out a series or two. This was my goal last year--> My goal by the end of the year is to jump better and have a 3rd place overall finish. I was able to achieve that goal.
Competitive Highlights
I raced at the North Central Area Qualifier and finished 9th out of 18 riders. Although I did not advance, I was racing with some very good riders. I had good finishes during the 2016 season in the beginner class. Although my finishes in the 7-8 class was not too great, I improved every race. I was excited to have a few podium finishes this year.
