Personal History
I grew up near a motorcycle club that annually had a motorcycle hillclimb and attemped the hill at 10 years old, ever since, I have been hooked. Working my way through amateurs I started riding bigger bikes every year and now currently I ride a 450, 500, and a 1200cc Suzuki Bandit motor fabricated into a Cr 500 frame, at 392lbs and 120hp (stock), its a thrill to say the least! My rookie year in the Open class I won in District 23 and 16 and was crowned King of the Hill Series Champion. In 2012, with much determination and motivation, I plan to ride the AMA Pro Hillclimb series.
Riding Goals
In 2012 I am shooting for top 3 finishes in AMA Pro Hillclimb classes; Extreme Pro and Unlimited Pro.
I would also like to win as many classes in MN/WI to continue my succesful amateur career and break hill records through out the nation.
Another goal of mine that seems most important is to promote the oldest motorcycle sport (hillclimbing) and bring it to the professional media level with as much technology, support, professionalism, and good sportsmanship I can possibly present.
