Personal History
Grew up riding trails and the track from time to time but always wanted to race ever since I knew what a Dirtbike was. My father started his own business when I was a kid so didn't have the spare money or time to get me into racing. I haven't been on a Dirtbike in 6 years because I got into sport bike stunting but then I decided I wanted to try and race since a few of my buddies do, and it was the best thing I ever decided to do in my life. Again I haven't rode in 6 years but I am very dedicated and I am at the track every single weekend either racing or if their isn't a local race I'm practicing at least 2-3 days a week. I have advanced extremely from the beginning of the season and it is truly showing, from speed, to style, to placing in my races.
Riding Goals
My goals by next year is to get a few or as many sponsors as possible to help out as much as possible, especially because I am having my first baby boy in a few weeks! And that's going to be rough on the pockets and not leave much for parts or even entrance fees. Also I'm going to work hard over the winter and enter as many arena cross races as possible that are not to far away so when the outdoor season comes back around I can place top 3-5 in as many races as I can. I have been doing very well for not only my first season racing but my first season back on a bike in 6 years. In my first few races of the season I finished in the top 15-18 out of 35-40 guys and now I have been finishing in the top 5-10. So by next season I would like to push my self to get in that top 5 a lot more often. Also another one of my goals is to start holding my position better, I get great starts and have had a few hole shots but I start falling back after about 2-3 laps because I just didn't have the stamina to hold my position.
Competitive Highlights
My first highlight is my first start ever racing dirt bikes this year, I almost had the hole shot, I just let off the throttle a little to early and two guys came around me and I came out 3rd in the first turn which was still pretty exciting. And then I would have to say my next highlight would be my second place finish at Budds creek pro national weekend this year. It was my first time there and it was pretty over welming with the size of the track and the variety of the competition. Most of my races are local and are some what local giys , but this race thier were guys from all over the country and I got second place. My first race I got first and the second race I got second so unfortunately I didn't get that first place plaque but second was still awesome for my first time on the track.
