Personal History
My name is Jacob Biegalski and I am 12 y/o. I live in a small town Northeast of Houston, Texas. I live with my parents and my older sister, go to the local JR. High school and attend the First Baptist Church in our town. My dads name is Patrick and he works real hard as an emergency room nurse to help pay for my racing. He also does the simple maintenance on my bikes but he leaves the hard stuff for the experts. My mom Gina also works as a nurse and she helps keep up with my equipment and fixes my meals for the track on race day. My sister Melanie is my personal photographer on race day unless she is working as a flagger for the event.
I started riding motorcycles in March of 2010 when I was 9 y/o in my backyard on a JR50 and CRF 70F. Once I learned the basics to riding my dad took me to the track but soon realized I needed a motocross bike if I was going to be jumping and stuff. Then in March of 2011 he bought me a couple of KX65's to ride and I loved it. I was in my first race the very next month and got 3rd place then I knew this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I chose the number 316 to be my bike number for the Bible verse John 3:16 while I rode the KX65. This allowed me to share Jesus with my friends and others if they asked how I came up with that number. When I moved to the KX 85 I changed my number to 413 after my favorite Bible verse Phillipians 4:13.
Riding Goals
My goals for 2013 are to be consistent as a rider and be on the podium in every race I compete. I also have a goal of qualifying for Loretta Lynn and the NMA Grand National Motocross Championships in Oklahoma. I also intend on trying Arena Cross this year in the south division. I plan on working real hard with my coaches to be the best rider I can be, keep a positive attitude all the time, and learn from any mistakes I make. My long term goal is to turn pro one day doing the sport that I love.
Competitive Highlights
Some the highlights from my racing are placing 3rd in my first race ever, finishng 5th overall in the South Texas Night Series, winning the Back to School Championship series, and the Houston Hole Shot series Championship in the 65cc 9-11 y/o class. My dad promised me that if I won the Houston Hole Shot Series in my class then he would move me up to the KX 85. Well needless to say I now ride in the 85cc class and finished 6th overall in the AMA District 20 Main Event Series Texas state championship. I would like to thank Jesus, all my sponsors, and my family for making all these things possible.
