Personal History
My name is Jaydon Hillenburg and I am 16 years old from Bedford Indiana. I race with 2-3 local series here where I live. Those being Crossroads Racing Series, Extreme XC and IXCR. This is my 3rd year racing and my first full year on an adult bike. I ride a 2018 Yamaha YZ125. Prior to racing dirtbikes I raced go karts from about the age of 5.
Riding Goals
Basically my goal this year is just to get better. Getting seat time is the only way I'm going to do that so I spend alot of time off the track trying to get faster. Learning line choices and working on stamina and balance. Eventually I would like to run more of the GNCC series. I also am improving on working on my bike, because lets face it, you are not gonna race and not break things so I have really been involved in learning that aspect of my bike.
Competitive Highlights
Last year was the first year I competed in a GNCC race called the Ironman on a big bike. It has a very large hill called Ironman Hill and I was able to go up that this year without crashing!!!! That was a big deal for me.
Also in my local series I have tried to remain competitive and strive to finish atleast top 5 in points. I have also qualified for a National Amateur XC Series here where i will race in the championship in Springville Indiana.
