Personal History
I am 11 years old and in the 6th grade. I love riding and racing. I started riding at 4 years old on a Honda 50 and haven't stopped. My younger brother and dad also race, so if we aren't racing on the weekend, we are riding. I love to trail ride and also enjoy riding tracks with my brother and friends. My main focus is on improving my riding. Every morning I get up and work out before school to improve my strength and fitness, I am careful to eat healthy and nutritious foods and I make sure to ride my bicycle at least 2-3 times per week to keep up my cardio fitness. I also work hard in school to keep my grades up. My parents have warned me that if my grades are not good, they will not allow me to race. Well I am not going to let that happen! In fact, last year I had a perfect report card all year long, straight A's and all outstanding marks for behavior. On the weekends that we ren't racing, my family packs up and heads out to ride trails, local tracks or at our property in Stonyford, CA. I can't imagine a better life!
Riding Goals
For the 2011 season I will be competing in the B65 class for our local District 36 Motion Pro Youth Cross Country and in AMA Western National Hare Scrambles for 65s. I will also be racing in the District 36 MSR Youth/Family Enduros in the 10-12 yr old class. This will be my 3rd year on a 65 and I have FINALLY grown into it! I am a small 11 year old at 4'3" and 61 lbs, so I can finally stand flat footed on this bike and am ready to win these classes! I have been finishing well, usually in the top 5 for cross countries and hare scrambles and top 10 for enduros (most of the other kids in my enduro class are on 85s and 125s!). But next year is my year. I have put in the time and effort in training and am feeling very strong physically and mentally. Nothing is going to stop me!
