Personal History
I am Cole and I am 5 years old. I started riding a bike as soon as I was tall enough, around 1. I moved to a strider at 1.5 and then a Stacyc at 2 and haven't looked back! I now race a PW50 and Cobra 50Jr.
When I am not on the track in the winter, you can find me at a mountain somewhere riding the woods, park, or powder on my snowboard. I started snowboarding when I was 2, and I love to do it with my family! If I'm not on the track in the summer, I am usually at a lake somewhere wake surfing, wakeboarding, or swimming!
I have a little sister who races the Stacyc now until she is tall enough to move up to the PW. My dad races my mom's YZ125, because she broke her tailbone snowboarding a few years ago and still can't ride a bike. Until she can race too, she makes sure I am happy and fed at all races!
Riding Goals
I ride because I love it! I've gravitated towards extreme sports since I was a baby, especially if 2 wheels or a board are involved. My parents say as long as I'm still having fun and doing my best, they'll keep bringing me to races. Since I'm still so young, they think it's important for me to continue learning and improving my skills and not get hung up on every finish position.
This spring and summer, I plan to attend a few riding camps to improve my skills! I also plan to race a few local series and do my best at the Mid-East Regional Qualifier. I would like to eventually make it to Loretta's to compete at Nationals! In the winter, I plan to race a local arena cross series and have a goal to place in the top 5 of the series.
Competitive Highlights
I usually come in the top 3-5 in the local races. I qualified in both micro 1 and micro 2 at the Redbud Area Qualifier, and will compete at the Mid-East Regional Qualifier in 2025. I only started racing in the fall of 2024, so I'm still learning and getting as much experience at different tracks as I can.
