Personal History
MY NAME IS DAVID ESCALANTE, I AM 25 YEARS OLD FROM APPLE VALLEY CA. I HAVE BEEN RIDING SINCE I WAS 8 ON A KLX110 TO NOW ON A 2019 KX450F. MY PASSION FOR THIS SPORT GREW MORE WHEN WE MOVED TO MEXICO AND I ATTENDED MY FIRST BAJA 1000 WITH FAMILY. SEEING THOSE RIDERS LIKE JOHNNY CAMPBELL AND STEVE HENGEVELD FLY BY WAS SO AWESOME THAT I WANTED TO RACE BUT FINANCIALLY COULDNT. I GREW UP WATCHING THESE SCORE RACES AND DID A FEW NON SCORE RELATED MYSELF OUT THERE.
I AM A MARINE CORPS VETERAN THAT LOVES TO COMPETE AND GIVE 110% AT ALL TIMES. I HAVE BEEN RACING DISTRICT 37 IN SOCAL FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW AND HAVE BEEN DOING WELL. RECENTLY TOOK A 3RD PLACE IN THE 2022 MINT 400 SPORTSMAN OPEN CLASS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO MORE RACING WITH GODS HELP.
Riding Goals
SOME OF MY GOALS ARE TO PARTAKE IN A SCORE BAJA RACE WITH THE 1000 BEING #1, MINT 400, AND CLIMBING THROUGH THE RANKS AT THE DISTRICT 37 EVENTS AND MAKING IT TO THE HIGHEST SKILL LEVEL BEING EXPERT OR EVEN PRO. MY PLAN FOR 2022 IS GETTING IN TOO NATIONALS FOR HARE AND HOUNDS AND HOPEFULLY DOING MY FIRST SCORE RACE IN BAJA.
I REALLY WANT TO GAIN AS MUCH EXPERIENCE AS POSSIBLE TO BE AN OVERALL BETTER RIDER AND PASS ON EVERYTHING I KNOW TO MY KIDS ONE DAY BECAUSE YOU BEST BET THEY WILL BE COMPETING.
