Personal History
I am 11 years old and have been racing since February 2010. I have ridden dirt bikes with my Dad since I was 3 1/2. We always rode in the California Desert and they built a track in California City. We went to the track one day and I got to ride a KTM 50 and loved it. My Dad and Mom had just bought me a TTR 110 for Easter 2009 and I only rode it once. I got a KTM 50 for Christmas and love being on the track. Luckily, I met some other kids at my first race who live by me and one of them has a small track at their house. I have been riding with them once a week and this is helping me a lot as they have all been racing for a while and are making me better.
I play football, baseball and have been wake boarding since I was 5. I love going to the lake in the summer, but this year we are not putting my bike away and I will be able to race all year. I am currently in the 5th grade and have been a straight A student since the 3rd grade.
Riding Goals
I want to keep getting better and learn more about how my bike works. My Dad and I work on the bike together when we can and he explains the parts and how they work. We are learning to tune the bike together to make it not only faster but smoother for me on the track. I want to focus on racing and riding smoother, but also to have fun on the track and with my friends I meet racing between motos.
Competitive Highlights
I entered my first race in February 2010 and won the event. I had only been on a track a couple of times before and finished 2nd and 1st in my two motos. I beat multiple kids that day who have been racing for a while and won series titles. My Dad said the other fathers kept asking him if he was sure I had never raced before.
I have continued to get better and have a room full of trophies. I competed in the AMA Arenacross at Fresno, CA, and continue to ride the local tracks in California City, Taft and Lancaster.
