Personal History
My name is Christina Gribble. I am 18 years old and I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I am currently a senior at Pine Creek High School with a 3.0 GPA and I have a part time job. I work hard, am a perfectionist, honest, determined, trustworthy person. Growing up I played competitive sports and excelled in all of them, but once I rode a dirtbike, I was hooked and have been stuck on a bike ever since.
I have been riding since the end of August in 2009 for a total of about 18 months. My first bike was a 2003 yz250f that I had worked over summer to earn the money to buy. I then immediately signed up for the next race season, not being able to contain my excitement to get out on the track and compete. I knew right away that with hard work and dedication, I could win my class and be one step closer to my dream. By the end of the season, I found that my hard work had paid off when I won the Colorado State Championship for SRAC and had marked out into the Amateur class. I learned so much during my first season and fought my way through the ups and the downs, I feel that the experience has prepared me to be even more competitive in the Amateur class. Coupled with my new off-season training regiment and my near factory custom race 2007 yz250f, I am very anxious to start the 2011 season.
