Personal History
I’m Dane Schmok, a passionate dirt bike rider and content creator who is building a community through my YouTube channel. My platform highlights my unique approach to riding, including my unconventional style of wearing basketball and baseball jerseys instead of traditional graphics. This distinctive look not only sets me apart but also resonates with viewers who value individuality and authenticity.
I’ve recently received sponsorship offers but have found that traditional promotions like bike graphics don’t align with my brand. Instead, I believe in showcasing products through genuine, meaningful content on my YouTube channel, where my audience actively engages with my reviews and insights.
If your brand values innovation and authenticity, I’d love the opportunity to partner and introduce your products to my growing audience in a way that feels natural and impactful. Together, we can create unique content that aligns with my style while showcasing your products to a highly engaged community.
Let me know if you’d like to discuss further—I’d be happy to share more about my vision and explore how we can collaborate!
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Dane Schmok
Riding Goals
I ride dirt bikes because it's more than just a sport to me—it's a passion that fuels my excitement, presents challenges, and offers an unparalleled sense of freedom. The adrenaline rush is incredibly addictive; no game I've played compares to the thrill of the starting gate. Riding lets me push my limits, hone my skills, and connect with a community of like-minded enthusiasts. My goal is to become the best rider I can be by the time I'm 27. To achieve this, I prioritize safety, take my exercise and recovery seriously, and maintain control at all times. Next year, I aim to be confident enough to compete in a regional race.
Competitive Highlights
I started taking riding more seriously in January 2023. Back then, I couldn't complete a single lap. Now, I can ride 20-minute motos at a pace I never thought possible. I practice mainly at Paradise MX, the hardest track in South Carolina. I've competed in three races in the beginner and C-class categories, and my times have improved immensely. In just three months, I would have beaten my previous self by 32 seconds. Fellow riders have noticed my progress, often telling me I'm getting faster, and I've even received DMs asking if I would train others. Looking at the jumps and lap times I’m doing, I’m realizing that I am my last year’s own hero.
