Personal History
My name is Jacob Roberts and I live in Mt. Vernon, MO. While it is a small town we are lucky enough to have several well ran, and managed mx tracks fairly close to home. I have for most of my young life played basketball, baseball, and some football. I love playing competitive sports, in public I can be shy but put a ball in my hand or sit me on a bike and I'm as competitive as anyone....I enjoy pushing myself to do better. When the times do come that I'm feeling down or times when I knew I could've rode better I have a great support system to help keep me motivated and moving in the right direction. This ''team'' consists of my dad, tons of new friends that I've made at the tracks I've been to, and one of my friend's older brother his name is Cody. Cody helps me whenever he can...gives me advice, takes me to the track to help me practice whenever my dad can't.
Riding Goals
My dad and I have set several goals for me for the upcoming racing season (2010). I want to improve on my fundamentals and work hard to obtain or surpass my goals that we have set for next year. One goal is for me to be competitive in the 65cc in the Missouri State MX Series. Another goal that we have set for the end of next season is for me to be fully prepared to be competitive in the 85cc class and to finish up a healthy, and sucessfull last season on a 65cc bike.
Competitive Highlights
I just started riding late this summer(2009) so I dont have much for highlights in my racing career, however I consider my hard work, persistance and desire to do better as highlights. These qualities, I believe will help me to obtain many competitive highlights, and sucessful seasons in this fun, and rewarding sport.
