Personal History
As a child, I would watch Supercross with one of my buddies and our dreams of racing dirt bikes. Growing up, my buddies would go race their bikes while I was on a minibike that barely got above 15 mph. For me, that dream of riding a dirt bike began to come true. I found a guy on craigslist that was selling his bike for $700. It was a 1997 cr125, but sadly it never ran long. After 4-6 months of it not running correctly and not being able to fix it, I sold the bike. After saving money from a part-time job at my local bait and tackle shop, I was able to buy a 2009 crft50r off a friend of mine for $2,500. This bike was better, but still had multiple issues because it was raced hard by my friend. I was able to complete 2 races of my own with it, but I wasn't able to finish the third race. The third race, I ended up wrecking and completely totaling it. I had to sell the bike as a parts bike. Upon getting a different job at a local dealership, I was able to save up $3,000 for a brand new 2021 crf250rx. I have put lots of hours, time, and money into this bike. Currently, I am at the top pack of C-class in SXCS, US Sprint Enduro, and GNCC.
Riding Goals
By the next year, I want to move up to class 250 B, as well as being able to ride more consistently on my dirt bike. In the next two years, I am hoping to pay off my dirt bike payments and buy another dirt bike of that year.
Competitive Highlights
For this riding season, I have been able to get a spot on the podium every race. Last season, I had gotten 2nd over all in my class.
