Personal History
My name is Christopher Thomas, I am 19 years old and live in Bentleyville, PA.My life has been around racing for 10+ years. I've been riding since I was 8 years old, and started racing when I was 12 on a RM 85. When I was 15 I moved up to a 125 and have stuck with them since then, occasionaly riding a 250. In 2005 I placed 3rd over in both 125 C and Schoolboy in the West Virginia State Championships. In 2006 I was involved in a horrific accident that resulted in a compound fracture to my right arm. Since that accident I was cautious about riding and injuring myself more. In 2007 I hardly rode as a result from the accident and medical restrictions. In this year, 2008, I recently got back into riding seriously and have been riding as much as I can, as well as getting back into racing. My first race back I finished 7th overall. I want to ride more, race more, improve my skills and get back into the sport as I once was.
Aside from racing, I graduated from Ringgold High School in the year 2007. After graduating, I started college at Bradford School in September 2007 majoring in graphic design. The reason I chose graphic design was because of motocross. Once graduating in December 2008, my future plans are to build my experience for a few years, and move on out to California to future my career in graphic design in the motocross industry.
