Personal History
My name is John Pantazes, I'am 10 years old and born on September 11, 2001. I have been riding and racing since I was 6 years old. Right now I'am on a KX 85. I started 2012 on the 65 & 85 and compete in local and regional races. I also tried to make a run for the first time to make Loretta Lynns national in 4 classes (65 stk/mod and 85 stk/mod) but after the district qualifiers I decided to only run the 85 9 to 11 stk and mod classes at the regional. I ran good in the regional but came up short with a mechanical in the mod class and just little errors I made in the stock class. I continue to attend local and regional races at Blue Diamond mx park in DE, Englishtown NJ , Tomahawk WV and Budds Creek MD. In the off season I wrestle, I have been doing this for 6 years and have placed every year in the state youth tournament and I'm a 4 time consecutive 1st place winner in my age and weight class. I have also placed in national tournaments 2nd Eastern nationals, 4th at Northeast nationals. I know what it takes phisically and mentally to win and continue to strive for that in academics, motocross, wrestling and life.
Riding Goals
My riding goals are to be not only one of the best locally but make my mark nationally as well. I continue to practice and get mentally tough to make it to Loretta Lynns and and run good this year at Kawasaki race of champions in 2012.
Competitive Highlights
My season isn't complete yet, so I will update this later.
