Personal History
I started riding my CR250 last year (2014) and fell in love with hill climbing. Over the 2014/2015 winter I bought my KTM 200 and my dad allows me to ride his CR500. I have always been into riding anything that has a motor in it, but I enjoy riding my dirt bikes the most. I haven't been riding long, but I truly enjoy it and hope to excel in the future.
Besides myself hill climbing my father, younger brother, and three of my cousins compete so it is like a family reunion every other weekend at the hill climbs.
Riding Goals
My goals for 2016 is to become more consistent competing at the events. I would like to be able to place at all competitions I ride in while improving my riding skills each time. I need to figure out as I as compete what works best for me as well as the handling of my bike at each hill and then try to improve on my findings for the next run. One of my goals for the future is to be able to compete professionally across the country and be able to mentor new riders and encourage others to compete as well.
Competitive Highlights
The highlights for this year was obtaining two 1st place finishes on my KTM 200 against some tough competition. I was also very happy placing 4th on my KTM 200 and 8th on the CR500 at the AMA National Hill Climb in Ohio this year.
