Personal History
Hello, my name is Jax I am 15 years old, and I was born in Albany GA. My family and I live in Carrollton IL with my stepdad along with two brothers. I grew up playing every sport, but my favorite was football. I played from the age of 7 until I was 14. I have always been on a pit bike riding in my back yard but started racing dirt bikes as of November 2023 and decided I would try motocross. I only focus on getting better on my dirt bike and race and practice every chance I get. Outside of racing I love to ride my bicycle, fish, hunt, ride my pit bike, spend time with family and work out.

Riding Goals
Since I just started 12 months ago, I have progressed in every race. I knew this would be a learning season, therefore, my only focus is my goals to become a better rider. I set goals and conquer that goal each time. I got the opportunity to do Fuel Ministry Camp at Lincoln Trail Motorsports for 1 week and spent one day at The Moto Academy where I had the pleasure of meeting AJ Catanzaro. My goals are to get through the ruts better, stay in the throttle, and improve my lap times. My biggest goal is to work hard every day and qualify for the Loretta Lynns Amateur Championship within three years.
Competitive Highlights
My first race was in March for the 2024 Loretta Lynns Area Qualifier-North Central where my very first holeshot turned into a whiskey throttle. I placed last with a lap time of 3:33. I knew after that first race; I had a lot to learn especially crashing every moto. Since my first race I don’t crash like I did I have great body position, clearing jumps, coming out 7th in the holeshot, corner speeds are faster, and I have better control on my bike. My lap time went from 3:33 to 2:14.
