Personal History
I am Hunter Tygart, a Deputy Sheriff out of Oklahoma. I am 25 years old with a beautiful wife and 3 children.
I grew up racing BMX in Southern California at the age of 4 years old. I casually raced moto and desert/grand prix growing up but was more serious about BMX. I am an Elite Pro in BMX, but have not competed in about 2 years due to starting my career in law enforcement and having 2 sons back to back. I have been a full ride factory racer since the age of 8 for BMX being sponsored by numerous amazing companies such as 6D, Rockstar, ICEE, Fly, Flow Vision and many more. I was previously sponsored by O’Neal, Dunlop, Scott, 100%, and more from Hookit when they offered sponsorship programs.
I started to race the local mx series in Oklahoma called Moto Routes Tour and the OCCRA off-road/woods series.
I am currently sponsored by MX Concepts. I am looking for more sponsorships to help out getting back into moto seriously. I will be having a set of graphics made and any new sponsors will get a logo.
My latest results is a 2nd place in my first race back in the Novice class out of 25 riders. I have not raced for approximately 2 years. I have since then got into better shape, lost 31 pounds and am taking racing seriously again. I will now be in the intermediate class going forward.
Riding Goals
I’ve grown up on 2 wheels, and I will continue to ride until the day I can’t. My sons will grow up riding and racing. My goals are to finish out the Oklahoma series racing in the intermediate class and train to try and earn a spot in expert next year. I have never felt more comfortable on a bike than I do now. I want to represent amazing sponsors on a graphics kit and bring home some hardware.
Competitive Highlights
I raced for the United States in Belgium at the age of 15 for the BMX world championships. I have had numerous number 1 titles in the state, national age group, and gold cups. I have had a very successful BMX career reaching the highest competitive level of Elite Pro.
I have made the change to focus on moto and am determined to reach the expert class by next year. I got 2nd place in my first race back after nearly 2 years.
