Personal History
I started officially racing last year. (2015) My friends were racing and I thought I would try riding a bike and the first time I sat on it, I was hooked. My family and I moved out into the country2 years ago and we have a huge yard that we have recently started creating a track for me and my brother to ride on. My younger brother who is 8 just got a bike for Christmas and we have been working on the track to help me to become a better rider and to help him. It is just a basic track right now but I would really love to put some jumps in it. I love how I can walk out the door and just get on my bike and go ride around the track. Last year was the first time I entered into races. It was scary at first but the more I do the easier I am finding them. When I have spare time after working my part time job, I will get on my bike and ride. I could ride all day if that was an option for me.
Riding Goals
I want to race in as many races as I can this year. Being from South Dakota it is limited to the races I can attend. Unless we travel 6+ hours away and it isn't so much an option with my family. Money is a big factor and it limits us to do only a few events. I want to race anywhere and everywhere!! My dream is to be able to just be able to attend any event I want to. Last year I placed a few times, I was pretty close to 1st place. I will have a 1st trophy this year! I am trying to work part time so I can help this year to go to more races.
Competitive Highlights
I am still new to this but I feel I have really grown from last year. It was pretty exciting to be in a race with 12 racers and I finished 4th. As a beginner that was such a rush that felt so good. During the qualifying events I placed 1st. I know this year will be much better and more exciting.
