Personal History
My name is Cole and I am 17 years old. I live in Southern Oregon and am a senior at North Medford High School. I have been riding since 2008 and racing since 2009. My first bike was a 2004 Honda Cr85, then moved to a 2008 Honda Crf150r. I now ride a Honda Crf250r, #127 in the 250cc Jr and Before The Hill Jr. classes. I ride and train every chance I get. My family usually races every weekend and is very involved in the sport. I would not be where I am today without their support. I like to ride at as many tracks as I can from Northern California up to Washington. This past year has been a difficult one for our family and we have missed some races, but things are looking up. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in Feb 2012 and then stage 3 melanoma a couple months later. She is now a survivor and has beat them both.
Riding Goals
To continue riding, racing and training as much as possible to be the best I can be. I want to also qualify for Loretta Lynn's and Mammoth Motocross. I would like to travel to Southern Califorina and ride the tracks down there.
Competitive Highlights
I competed at Mammoth Mx and the Washougal Amateur Nationals, along with many local races. I earned 1st overall Championships in Oregon State and NW Arenacross 85cc 14-16 in 2010. In 2011, I earned 2nd overall's in the 125/250 Jr and Before the Hill Jr classes in the 2011 Oregon State Series. In 2012, I again competed at Mammoth and the Amateur Nationals at Washougal. In our local Oregon State Championship Series, I earned a 1st overall in the 125/250 Jr class and a 2nd in the BTH Jr class.
