Personal History
I am 9 years old and live on a small holding with my parents and my sister. I am currently in grade 3 and performing really well at school, especially with mathematics. We have 3 dogs whom I love to bits, and 2 horses on the farm, although I definitely prefer my iron horse! We have a farm-style motocross track at home and my father trains my sister and myself there. I love the outdoors and sports. Some other hobbies I enjoy include tennis, soccer, chess, athletics and electronic strategy games. I also like to build things with my hands like models, lego's and experimental projects etc.
Motocross have become our family hobby as well, as my sister also rides and races. I started riding in 2017 and started racing in 2018. Since I have started riding, I have realised that I had discovered my real talent. After only one year of racing, I have risen to a national level racer and finished the year in 4th place overall. #blessed!
I currently have 2 sponsorships: Gibson Tyres and Ariete Goggles & Grips.
Riding Goals
I have finished 2018 on a very good note, with a 4th overall national position for the year in the 50cc class. Now, it is time to take on the guys in the 65cc class. I train extremely hard and intend on being a force to reckon with right from the start.
My short term goals are achieving a top 5 nationally for my first year in the class already and achieving a top 3 finish in the regional rounds.
My long term goals is to participate in the MXGP in the future, as well as European championships. I want to become a world class contender.
