Personal History
My name is James Payton and i love motocross. I ride everychance i get to and when im not riding i play around with my mini e-revo r/c car. I also like riding my bmx bike on my dirt jumps that i have in my back yard, becuase its sorta like a dirtbike in many ways. I am 15 and i would do anything to be pro in motocross. Why, because motocross is all i ever think about and all i want to do is ride everyday but i cant because of the weather and i dont have a track in my back yard. I do ride with my friends though because a few of my friends have tracks at there own houses. And i ride at my local track, which is Tomahawk Mx track and doublin gap but i do hit more tracks when it becomes race time.
Riding Goals
My goals are to improve my riding skills and ride harder and harder every race. My main goal is to win some races or atleast get in the top 5. And what i mean by improve my riding skills is not make as many mistakes on the track as did last year. Which lost me some positions, which i wasn't so happy about after the races but i got over it and went out and rode harder and got better positions.
Competitive Highlights
Last year on my 2008 Kawasaki kx85 i raced at a few races at some local tracks. I did alright at a few of them. My main one was the LLQ at Doublin Gap, i didn't do as good as i thought i would because i made to many mistakes. I didn't do so well on the hole shot and wipedout because of a guy in front wrecked and block me in and then another guy hit me in the back. So the time i got out of that i was in 35th out of 42 riders. Which then i thought there's absolutley no way i could win this or qualify. But i stoped thinking negative and rode as hard as i could and ended up 15th. Didn't qualify but im looking forward to getting it this year on my 250. Which there's more competition this year because its 250's and a bigger class. But im not going to worry about it and im going to go out and ride as hard as i can no matter what
