Experience:
Started riding an electric motorcycle at age 3.
First gas engine bike was a 2001 Yamaha PW 50 at age 4.
Switched to a 2001 KTM Pro JR at age 4.5
Raced 1/3rd the 2008 season at Dragoon Creek Motocross park (Dragoonmotocross.com)
2008 Results: Finished with a tie for 8th out of fifteen riders while racing as a 3yr old as of the Jan1 start date.
We are currently preparing our 2001 KTM 50 PRO JR A/C for the 2009 season but are looking forward to a L/C bike in the near future.
Included are pics of him riding at home and a few at the track.
Video should be uploaded to youtube with the week.
We are excited to prepare for the upcoming season as Francisco has shown a genuine affection for riding motocross and exceptional skills for a rider of such a young age. When not racing Francisco frequently rides on our 5+ acres and the over 600+ acres of our neighbors property. Francisco also enjoys riding BMX. He has also shown the ability to ride quads with a phenominal skill level. We are writing this letter to request any assistance you can offer us as my wife is a fulltime student and every little bit helps. Thank You for your consideration and regardless of your decision please continue to track our results as we expect to enjoy the 2009 racing season.
p.s. the photos are horrible but feel free to contact motocross shack in Lawrence, Kansas or Dragoon Creek to verify his riding abilities.
Riding Goals
Our goals got the 2009 season are to continue to improve and consistency. The 2009 season would be our first full season with a commitment for Francisco to ride 90% of all races within our series and see some consistent placement on the podium. In the 2008 season we actually reced as a 3yr old with great success as our son was racing 6 year olds and in only 1 race was there a child even close to the same age. Francisco is on a pracitce schedule with a friend who is 6 and moving up to the KTM PRO JR this year so he will have a solid practice partner for the year. We expect to see Francisco within the top 4 racers at the end of the season.
Competitive Highlights
Francisco sincerely enjoys riding and when times are tough or the conditions are less than ideal he seems to enjoy to compete. He in not concerned with placing in a race but just running as fast as he can with the "BIG KIDS". For us last seasons highlights came during times when most would not consider a highlite. Francisco has an ability to get back on and keep riding even after the biggest spill. His ability to shake it off and keep riding is definitly the highlite of any season.
