Personal History
My name is Cooper "Coop" Geppert, and I grew up in a small country town in Pennsylvania, where farmlands and mountains set the backdrop for my childhood. My family and I embraced the great outdoors, diving into various sports and activities. I kicked off my downhill skiing adventure at age two and hopped on my first dirtbike when I was just four. Throughout my youth, I was involved in little league baseball, midget football, and proudly represented my school on both the football and wrestling teams.
Sports have always been a part of my life, but nothing compares to my love for riding dirtbikes. Whether I was trail riding with family and friends or zooming around our property, the thrill was unmatched. The moment I hit the motocross track for the first time, I discovered my true passion. I immersed myself in everything about the sport, practicing at local tracks and working hard to improve my skills. In 2021, I took the leap and entered my first motocross race, and I've been hooked ever since.
Fast forward to 2024, I accumulated enough points in the Pro-am events to secure my AMA Professional Motocross license for 2025. I'm dedicated to building a successful racing program and eagerly await the challenges and excitement that the upcoming 2025 season will bring.
Riding Goals
I ride dirtbikes because it's my passion. Racing fuels my competitive spirit, and I thrive on the challenges it brings. I chose motocross not just for the adrenaline, but for the incredible community that surrounds it. Honestly, I can't imagine doing anything else.
As I look ahead to 2025, I have some clear goals:
- Elevate my skills and techniques
- Build a successful racing program
- Keep competing in Pro-am events with a focus on consistently finishing in the top five
- Qualify for as many AMA Professional Motocross Events as I can
- Compete at Loretta Lynn's and Thor Mini O's National Events
I’m fully committed to making motocross racing my career. I know it’ll demand hard work and dedication, but I’m ready to rise to the challenge.
Competitive Highlights
My biggest accomplishment to date has been securing my AMA Professional Motocross license for 2025. This has been a dream of mine for many years.
I began my journey in 2021, competing as a Class C rider in District 6 races, where I wrapped up the season in 5th place overall in both the 250 C and Open C classes. In 2022, I marked a significant milestone by winning the District 6 Series Championship in both 250 C and Open C, and I finished 4th in Collegeboy by season's end. The following year, I moved up to the B Class, clinched the District 6 Series Championship in Open B, and finished 3rd overall in both the 250 B and Collegeboy categories. I also qualified for Loretta Lynn's at the Northeast Area qualifier in 125 B, 250 B, and Schoolboy I. In 2024, I transitioned to the A Class, competing regionally in 250 A and Open A. I secured a spot at the Loretta Lynn Southeast Area qualifier in 250 A/Pro. Throughout the season, I participated in thirteen Pro-am events, achieving one podium finish and eleven top ten overall finishes. All of this earned me enough points to obtain my AMA Professional Motocross license for 2025.
