Personal History
I got my 1st dirt bike when I was 3. It was a 2001 PW50. I rode without training wheels from the start. I jumped my 1st jump and the shocks bottomed out and threw me over the handle bars, so it was time to get a motorcross bike. Next was a 2001 KTM Jr. Pro. This is when I started hare scrambles. My 1st race was the Wild Woody. We quickly found out the Jr. Pro was not fast enough for me. Next was a KTM 50 Sr. Advenventure. It fit me much better, I was more comfortable and now have much better riding skills. Ive been working on my slow riding and jumps, throwing a few 1 handers and some heel clickers in along the way.
I eat, sleep and breath dirtbikes. My mom can't get me to even wear any clothes that dont associate with dirt bikes. My teacher has to make me write and draw something other than dirt bikes!
Riding Goals
Graduate to a KTM 65 so I can go MUCH faster. I really want to work on my jumps, my dad has turned our yard into an array of jumps and obstacles. I would like to improve my finishes to top 3. Continue racing harescrambles, and trying to find more arenacross races in my nearby areas.
Competitive Highlights
My 2nd race was at an arena cross, which I was able to take 3rd place! Ive been able to finish all of my races even in horrible riding conditons, including cold rain and mud.
At one race I had a head on collision with another rider during warm ups. It threw me off the bike, broke my fender and flattend my tire. My dad wanted to load up and take me home but I got on and raced anyway. I finished 8th in that race.
