Personal History
My name is CJ Higley. Born and raised in Utah, from a small town in Tooele County. When I was 11, I knew my unique passion for motocross was going to take me far and since then I've lived every day to be on my bike and part of the family within this industry. I've established a great name for myself through the Wild West Nationals and RMX series. Anyone who knows me would tell you that my dedication has put me through the victories and the depths within this sport, as most other great racers know. This past year, I got into my 3rd spill; putting myself back in ICU with a broken neck and collar bone, bleeding on the brain, collapsed lung and hematoma on my back. I've lost out on the past 10 months of my racing career. But bound and determined, here I am once again making my state of mind race to find it's accomplished line. I have the mentality and capability of getting my AMA Pro Card so I am wanting to get back to where I once was before I hit the stage of "feeling too old" given my injuries. In all, wherever I end up, this lifestyle pays off entirely to me in more than just one way other than succeeding in competitive racing. A lot of the kids locally and traveling in the series look up to me and I started paying more attention to the young riders at my local track, developing relationships and growing a love for helping all of them and beginners there, which landed me a few training opportunities. Through that, I'm currently part of a non profit organization Called Type 1 Racing, founded by a 14 year old boy with Type 1 Diebeties who shares the same love as most of us do, who I've trained and became family with. I've learned we all have one goal and a vision. A healthy escape and valuable hobby. For me, I just want to endlessly be the best I can be and put fourth my fullest potential just doing what I love and by having fun. 417
